I'd given up on #heforshe, they drank the Cool aid long ago in my opinion.

But, a glimmer of hope, maybe? They've just posted a FB meme describing gender as a social construct.....

My faith that people understand the words they use has been eroded.
When people use the words 'social construct' they seem to mean 'can mean anything I wish and you may not contradict me'.

And when they say 'gender' they may similarly might mean 'biological sex', 'definitely not biological sex' or something they invented on the spot.

Those who care that they are correctly understood take pains to clarify using unambiguous language.

Do you have a link for the heforshe quote?

The UN he for she campaign got a wake up call when the UN efforts to convince countries to provide sanitary facilities for women was compared to Canada, UK, and US, efforts to strip women of their right to single sex sanitary facilities.
