Dianna,
This was the first time I've ever taken the test so just tried to be honest. But yeah I can see how if you took your time you can see which answers might be fem and the other male. And then use that knowledge to skew the results. Though some of them i'm not sure. I read somewhere here on this forum where someone said its not as simple as just male and female. We are all individuals and have some characteristics of both sexes, we all kinda fluctuate somewhere on that line. I think thats accurate.
Besides the answer didnt really surprise me now that I think about it. The more I look into this stuff the more I realize gender is kinda fluid.

I'd argue that gender isn't, but how we express ourselves is.
Is a man nurturing acting feminine? Not sure. I don't think so. A Padre counseling his flock? A Father talking to his child? A coach assisting a hurt young athlete? (And then, is that athlete male or female...?)

In Vampire: The Masquerade, and the associated games, they had two defining personality types, a Nature and Demeanor. Nature was "who you are." Demeanor was "How you act."
Nature didn't change without trauma or intentional growth.
Demeanor could change for any or no reason, but sort of was a "default" setting of expression. Think of a sycophant, who is a tyrant to underlings. When the boss is there? Kind, sweet, sucking up. But the moment the boss is gone, the tyrant emerges. So, Tyrant is the demeanor, but they put on the affable, loving, suck-up mask when someone with power over them appears. :-)

Is a man acting tender being feminine? I think it's a question of HOW they nurture. Tending and nurturing have masculine and feminine directions. Man allows the kids to run loose, say, but they're not allowed in the kitchen, PERIOD. Mom will mother them all over the place, guide their every move, smother them to keep them safe. Both are nurturing, just in different ways.

What do you think?
