Wonderfully said Noah! This is a great summary that synthesizes the importance of innate sex differences *and* acknowledges that women are still individuals who have the right to vary from those biological propensities in ways that help them thrive. It's unfortunate the discourse around feminism and women's needs has become so black-and-white that people aren't able to hold these two truths simultaneously!
I think denying our innate sex differences puts pressure on women to rebel against these natural tendencies because they're told these are nothing but misogynist social programming. This sets women up for a long, hard process of realizing somethings are innate to being female and that's okay.
I'm glad you enjoyed Lilah's essay! It's a beautiful example of someone bringing these two concepts—innate biological tendencies and personal freedom—into a complementary, authentic perspective!
