    What makes a woman a woman?

    1) Whether or not a person identifies as such.

    As for chromosomes... xx doesn't make a woman. ^_~

    Woman refers to gender which refers to social dynamics such as behavior and internalized gender preferences.

    Sex refers to biology.

    What makes a female a female? Cultural generalizations about anatomy that choose to focus on some biological traits while ignoring others. (So, even sex definitions can change depending on the person or the culture depending on what people focus on and what they ignore, or how they choose to define what they are focusing on.)

    there are people who have xx chromosomes who were born with a penis and without developing breasts. There are also many different variations of sex chromosomes such as xx, xyx, xy, xxy, xxx, xo, a combination of xx and xy in different cells in the same body... etc.

    What makes a woman a woman?

    Her XX Chromosomes. Anyone without XX chromosomes is not a woman. Men have XY chromosomes - the odd male who has YY chromosomes is twice as male and frequently found in the worlds prisons. Male to female transexuals are men. To become women, they would need to change their chromosomes. The use of 'she' about transexuals is simply a courtesy.

    Her behaviour towards the society and her man.Her dignity, to be a lady by his side, to honour his name, and his pride of man.

    Her sacrifice of her personal life and carrere, to stand by his side, and to take care of him with all her love..

    I am against femminists, because woman has to fight for her rights not in the sexual freedom, but for her rights not to be sexually abused, not to be an object, but a subject, and not to be the toy of every occasional relation, in the bed of every occasional partner...

    Woman is nature, is love, is wife, is mother...Lets keep these values for a healthy society...
