    The color yellow and blue do not exist and are solely propaganda.

    I said I wouldn't reply further to that thread, and I won't; but just because I don't think I can argue away far right folk's perception about ethnicity, doesn't mean my own position isn't clear imo. I think it's nonsense, and my view in an ideal world is to abolish the nation state and borders with it.

    As for what "acting like a man" means, let's consult science: https://www.pnas.org/content/113/41/11633
    Presence of male hormones regulate human behaviour in such a way that people go out of their way to punish wrongdoers, but also to give more generous reciprocal rewards. On the other side of the coin, this means "unmanly" (female) behaviour is failing to punish bad behaviour while not rewarding outstanding efforts.

    Politics can also become saturated with excessive male thinking, but since the history books are full of horror stories of what this entails (since men have dominated society for most of written history), we run less of a risk of this happening. We know of male vindictiveness and territorial struggle, but history books say nothing about feminine relativization and neglecting or surrendering territorial struggles.

    In short, I don't believe "acting like a man" in politics is a bad thing for a woman, and I do not know of any woman who has gotten less respect from this. "Acting like a man" in personal life would depend on the context and what you are trying to accomplish and thus is a more complicated topic that cannot be answered as simply with yes/no.
