These “activists” want to see being a man made into a complicated enterprise — probably because being a woman is inherently complicated and, being so, women suffer from a bad case of simplicity envy.
Back in the old days, men went out to hunt and so the skills we evolved were mainly around zeroing in focus of attention on prey and working with other men in the hunting team to stalk and kill it. Women, on the other hand, evolved to deal with the politics surrounding working with other women to hold the fort, tend to kids running around, prepare food, and, overall, maintaining a social structure/dynamic that facilitated all that harmoniously.
This is why women tend to be more insecure about their social status and tend to gossip a lot — because they need to keep their radars up to mitigate any threats to their position within these vital structures and dynamics. There’s nothing inherently bad about that. It just is what it is thanks to the selection pressures that shaped the evolution of human society. It only became “bad” when these “activists” told us so.
Women were also the primary “gatherers” in hunter-gatherer societies — which is why they are more avid window shoppers, because their brains are wired to evaluate many options, canvass the best value, and test what they bring home to ensure that what they gathered does not poison the entire tribe.
Brain wiring vastly differs between the genders not because of any conspiracy on the part of either side to bully or dominate the other but because nature shaped those roles to ensure survival of the collective. The thing with these snowflake activists is that they want “equality” but have an ill-conceived working definition of that notion which they then apply to their confused “advocacy”.
