In your opinion, what makes a woman, well...a woman?

[Job3315]

In your opinion, what makes a woman a woman? (Other than biology)

In your opinion, what makes a woman a woman?

Female, human, over the age of puberty...biology is foundational, you cannot discard it.

 

[Petros2015]

Somewhere in my psyche there is an ideal picture of a woman - mentally, emotional, spiritually, physically. I think Jung called this picture "the anima". To me, the more a person approaches that, they are a woman. Otherwise they are just male or female. There aren't that many women in my world. But that's just my opinion.

 

[( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

My definition of a woman is someone who loves and is attracted to a man. The kind of girl I overheard talking to her friend one time, that I could literally sense the estrogens coming out that made this dude say wow.

Someone who would bother with painful details just to make sure everything or everyone is safe (demonstrates a woman's impressive maternal instincts at work which is what this sick world needs to heal)

Strange but interesting question. Well, what makes a man?

Being a woman myself, i regard it essential to be a lady, to be the best I can be. That means being opposite but complementary to a man.
Beyond that i find it hard to answer.

 

[Dropout_Theologian]

Personally, being married to a woman that resembled the woman in Proverbs 31 would be pretty awesome and well qualifies as a woman in my mind. Someone a man can trust; she works hard and skillfully; provides for her house and subordinates; purchases real estate, and gardens, and she's strong; she's generous, well prepared for the future, and confident; and most importantly she is wise and fears the LORD.

I suppose ultimately God is what makes a woman, and a man, and I think the path for every person is probably different.

 

[Grace2022]

A woman makes a home. She dictates it. A proper woman is guided in all things by God. That means being disciplined and hard working and full of joy and love for everyone.
The only way is through Jesus. To be the best person, fulfilled as man or woman.

Only biology makes a woman a woman. How else would someone be considered a woman if not by biology?

I feel like the OP is way too open-ended to really be able to know how to answer. Are we talking about from a psychological or philosophical perspective? Or are we talking about drawing distinctions between a woman and a girl?

Either way, the thought of a bunch of males opining on this topic is kind of funny to me.

In your opinion, what makes a woman a woman? (Other than biology)

Having XX chromosomes and being over the age of maturity.

I'm sorry if I offended you, TheGirlOnFire.

It all reminds me of this old thread. Ladies: Post your woman cred

There was the same one for the guys too though.

Who knows, its probably one of those things you cant put into words but you know one when you meet one.

I could tell you what makes a woman *my* kind of woman, but I don't speak for everyone.

At the risk of derailing the thread, nice Australian avatar picture!

 

[MehGuy]

Is this thread about what men fine feminine and thus attractive in women? Seems like it's somewhat subjective, although biologically not as much as some might want to think. Although if we do go down this road for the sake of equality it's probably best to create a thread asking women what makes a man a man. This could be quite fun.
