I think a lot of people have different ideas of what it means to be a man or woman or masculine/feminine.
I don’t think it can be clearly divided between just the sexes, although lived experience as one or the other might also inform it.
Obviously other stuff like culture and religion can as well.
And this isn’t even mentioning patriarchy.

I think you are kind of speaking from a place of dysphoria or like internalized transphobia, even if you have “bad ideas” about these things it doesn’t necessary make it “masc” or “male-brained” anymore than it would with a cis woman who has internal misogyny.

Oh definitely, I don't think all men or all women agree on anything. But obviously, idk, there's generalities you could make I suppose. Not all men like, talk over women. But that's still kind of a thing (as I understand it).

I don't think its dysphoria, I just want to better understand how different people view gender I guess. Of course if I had a bad idea that wouldn't make me actually a man or something. I do wonder a little though.

talking a little about a brainwormI suppose one thing would be if I view "being a woman" as like, an aesthetic thing. Most of the "womanly" things I want are aesthetic. But I suspect if you polled cis women they wouldn't definite being feminine/"womanly" as "having curves and wearing girl clothes". But there are definitely parts I don't want... like kids. Maybe I should just go find some cis women talking about what being a woman is to them I guess.

Not to say that if what I wanted most about being a woman was looking more fem that would be a bad thing or secretly a man. Just... a difference that would be interesting.
