womanhood

Not really a big fan of the conflation of womanhood with a vagina.

Feigning womanhood in order to curry favour also works.

Like taking kids shopping for your tampons because it show powerful womanhood or whatever.

The story reinforces your bias that the form and function of womanhood is primarily sexual.

We have to recognize that the "newer" constructions of womanhood are not necessarily positive.

Let us not congratulate the servants on their gain, one writer admonished, for no servant takes a tip without losing something of manhood or womanhood.

I didn't say there wasn't sexism. I do indeed believe that gendered insults are the result of sexism. I am, however, stating that the genesis of the entire Ellen Pao affair seemed to be about her actions, not her womanhood.

It's possible to be sober about physical differences that might exist between trans women and cis women without denying the former "full" womanhood.

Anyone who questions your womanhood is a misogynist, because they are oppressively forcing their definition of womanhood onto a woman.

I've talked with and interacted with trans folks and really no one's gonna tell me that their experience growing up as a boy and transitioning into girlhood or womanhood is the same as my experience growing up as a girl.

My understanding is that these are traditional ideas about manhood and womanhood, that were useful in the past because they helped ensure societal stability and perhaps a sensible use of limited resources.

And a part of the gender/sexism discussion revolves precisely around how male-gendered slang is used differently than female-gendered slang; think about how men insult men by saying they don't have balls, or that they're a pussy; the suggestion is that womanhood corresponds to weakness.
