There is a difference between the two.

I think it's this new meaning of the word gender that annoys me most, because it seems to undo alot of the work women have fought for, trying to get themselves out of that stereotypical gender based box by now saying that these boxes are what actually makes us men or women, do you get what I mean? Like as a child, and now as well, but as a young girl growing up with 3 brothers, I fought tooth and nail to not be labelled like that or told what I can or cannot do based on what my interests were or what clothes I chose to wear. I don't know how to explain this without people calling me a bigot or a bad mother or whatever. I don't want to grow up in a world where my daughter thinks unless she becomes a nurse and likes make up she must have a mans brain and it seems like after all the work women have done to try and break down these barriers now we're told no actually get back in your boxes otherwise you're a bigot
