To think biology matters?

[crunchymint]

Our biology matters. Whether we bleed every month, can get pregnant, if we are not as strong as most men, go through menopause, etc. All these things affect our lives in real ways.
So AIBU to think biology matters?

Of course it plays a part but so does strength of character. In a crisis many women cope better than men.

It depends on what you mean by “matters”. Matters when? Context is important.

Yes you are probably right that someone will write a book about this and pretend it is a new revelation.

Purple Yes context is important. I am not arguing that bleeding every month or getting pregnant or going through the menopause, means women can not get paid work for example. Anti feminists use these biological realities to try and keep women in the home.

Dont forget smaller feet to keep women in the kitchen

women's lives are so different from men's.

Do they? I’ve never heard anyone argue thar women shouldn’t work due to periods/menopause.

Eh?

Purple Before it was common for women to work outside the home, those arguments were used. And I am talking in my mum's lifetime. I appreciate younger women have probably not heard them.

I’ve heard it said that women are unsuitable for certain jobs because they are at the mercy of their hormones.

Clearly not or we wouldn’t be forced to pretend man can be women would we now

Blessed be the fruit and all that
This is the new reality

And the Lib Dem’s wouldn’t be trying to help Ian Huntley move to a women’s prison even though he is and never can be a women

Also I am totally a slave to my hormone I am on at the moment and am very tearful and a bit sore

If a man thinks a woman should be kept in the kitchen, it means he doesn't know what to do with her in a bedroom.

Mumm Have you never heard the saying that what some men want is a slave in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom.

Yes, biology matters, crunchy.

Female biology has been the source of our oppression for centuries. Now, it is being cast aside by a few privilidged men - men who trample on both women and dysphoric people alike.

Funnily enough, although the biology is being cast aside, these men want to hang on to the oppression bit 🤔

Why the face backforgood?

I am clearly confused, as none of this thread makes sense to me.

What on earth is meant by 'AIBU to think biology matters?'

It is a subject. An area of science. Of course it is important, but that doesn't seem to be what your thread is about.

I was in hospital recently with heart issues and was told womens heart issues present completely differently to mens. That was quiet interesting.

I have to say I'm confused by your original post as well.
