Very interesting indeed.
Most interesting of all I think is this statement:
> Interestingly, people tend to feel manhood is defined by achievements, not biology. Womanhood, on the other hand, is seen primarily as a biological state
Hence we see men judged on their emotions and behaviour; women on their bodies.
Yeah, it's interesting that women can't change how womanly they're seen as - it's fixed by their body, whereas perceptions of men can be much more variable.
Except they can and do -- there are whole industries based on getting women to change their bodies, starting at clothing and grooming and ending with plastic surgery.
