6 What does it Mean to be a Woman?

Hayes Evans (He/Him)

Keywords: Womanhood, Gender inequality, Transgender, Patriarchy


Throughout history, the answer to this question was “less than”

The status of a heterosexual white man

If that doesn’t enrage you to your inner core

Then, we are not fighting the same war

Gender is formed through social processes

Not who should or shouldn’t be allowed to wear dresses

“One is not born, but rather becomes a woman” argued Simone de Beauvoir

She illustrates the evolution of womanhood, most tend to ignore

Womanhood is felt, experienced, and known

Gender is an identity that should never leave someone alone
