_* Definition *_

The latest Grey's got me thinking.
How do we define what attributes are male and what are female?
Olden days define 'being man' as brave, courageous, egolistic, insensitive etc.
Being female would be demure, passive, softness etc.
Hofstede defines Masculinity as cultures that value competitiveness, assertiveness, ambition and the accumulation of wealth and material possessions, where on the other hand, Femininity as cultures that place more value on relationship and quality of life.
Modern era has conjured everything all over.
The result is a combination of gay, butch, lesbian.
That on top of the traditional straights.
So now, how do we actually define male attributes and female attributes?
Will the olden male attributes become the future female characteristics?
And the olden female attributes become the future male characteristics?
Who will ever know?
HmMm..
