Well it's a good point, and honestly I don't know which is why it doesn't bother me necessarily if people have germaines views because at least it raises a debate, my main issue here is just that its a supposed feminist expressing what I feel are very misoginistic views. I suppose your question raises another which is, how should a woman think/act? Is it how we expect them to based on archaic stereotyping or is it however feels natural to them? I do have a close friend who is a female to male transexual and I had no idea until he told me, but how important should that be anyway compared to how he feels inside? I think these are the things that germaine is overlooking in favour of a more superficial and narrow minded approach to gender identity
