WHAT IS IT ABOUT GENDER?

Do we truly know what strength really means? Is it just muscle and might or the courage to rise after breaking? Wisdom isn’t worn on bodies. Every head holds thought every mind can lead so why is wisdom still weighed by gender? What does care look like? Is it soft hands and lullabies or is it presence in pain a heart that listens when words fall short? Is shape the measure of worth? Must strength be masculine and care be feminine or have we just forgotten how to see?
