There were some good replies on there.

Overall, I think gender is an attempt to turn what used to be called "personality" into a civil rights category. So if someone doesn't like your personality, they are now oppressive bigots.

That's so true and sort of explains why young people especially girls like it. Back in the dark ages when I was a teen girl I couldn't get enough of those daft personality quizzes in magazines like Just Seventeen and Mizz. It's proper self absorbed, navel gazing stuff but also probably part of growing up and figuring yourself out. I just wish this 21st century version wasn't so harmful.
