Is gender a social construct?

[Etherial Cat]

I would say that yes, gender is a construct. 

It is a construct comporting all the human biases/shortcut regarding the Feminine and the Masculine.  We use them to assign whether someone or something is predominantly from one polarity or another. The fact is, it is often falling short because creation is made of both masculine and feminine characteristics and there isn't any Absolute in the relative. So saying that something is either Feminine or Masculine is going to face limitation.

The Feminine and the Masculine are two relative opposite to be found in nature. It is as real as up or down, warm and cold and all other dualities. In that sense, it is very real and part of the DNA of the world. I picture it like the binary codebase of the universe.

A good illustration of how our mind can get confused at unusual expression of this duality. 

Edit: The video is 42 minutes long. It shows the case of a woman who is born with female genitalia but has male chromosome. ?

Why the fuck are you guys having this disccusion on this sub forum and then complaining to Leo about it when you barely have done any work regarding this stuff. You are telling Ronaldo how to shoot his shots basically. This stuff is way too deep and mystical for normies here to understand and lecture people that have dedicated their life to this stuff.

@Leo Gura Watching this video right now. Commented as well. I'll need to rewatch to see if it debunks the chromosomal argument.

@Leo Gura, by your logic, even beauty is a social construct? But people tell me that attraction is chemical based?

Especially all the people here.

Not everyone is a mother. Extreme example.

With that kind of logic, it doesn't matter what anyone says, you're just gonna dismiss everything that isn't already valid in your mind.

[Preety_India]

@Shin you cant give extreme examples for general things.

@Leo Gura wtf, 1 day after I made this post I see a video on the actualized.org youtube channel with the exact same title: is gender a social construct?

Cultural beauty norms are.

But Beauty is also an Absolute.

When you fully awaken you will realize that absolutely everything is infinitely and equally beautiful. You will discover Absolute Beauty and it will make you feel so stupid for not seeing it sooner.

It is a general thing,

You find beautiful/attractive whatever you think is serving you.

In the case of the mother, the baby is her child, which in her mind is supposed to make her happy.

You wouldn't find that baby beautiful, cause you don't care about that particular baby, it's a random baby.

 

You find men with power and purpose attractive, cause they can take care of you without needing anything from you.

You find clingy men with no purpose unattractive, cause they can't even take care of themselves and would be needy with you.

 

I find women with big tits and curvy ass beautiful, cause I know it would feel good to touch and penetrate.

I find women with small tits and fat ass unattractive, cause I know there would be nothing to grab except fat.

 

It's really not that complicated, if you're honest with yourself

@Shin it's about survival.

Everything is a conceptual construct, including gender.
