Firstly great video, thanks for sharing M. Secondly, JamieGirl, i agree with some things you said but trust me, us women (cis or trans) don't have it equal, and we push that much harder to get to an equal state. Gender inequality is largely a behind-the-scenes issue. Statistics say wage equality is actually getting to the equal state. We're only off by 6% when comparing exactly the same position/careers. But many careers have male-dominated leadership positions especially baby boomer men in upper management/partner positons who want things to stay that way. Many companies are still promoting just enough women to upper management positions to reach status quo. Big corporations are hiring just enough trans people in their forefront operations to say they are a trans-friendly company but are totally against renovating washrooms to become genderneutral. Businesses aim to hit the status quo for equality. Inequality hides behind the PR. Real inequality is male managers taking female associates ideas less seriously because we are women or because we're showing cleavage and that's where their focus is. Or how our husbands expect us to take a longer maternity leaves because their jobs are "more important" than ours. Or how female corporate women have to control their attire/looks to be taken seriously by men. There are times where we're forced to shed femininity and act/look like men to be taken seriously by men but trust me, us women want to embrace our femininity in workplaces too.
I agree with what you are saying that being feminine is letting the man take the lead, the subtle things like man's hand over a woman's or how a man should approach/ask a woman out. Men want to have women who make them feel more masculine for sure. But also a huge young population of men want to be power couples. In the relationships they want a soft woman, but in our careers, they want a powerful woman, so let's not confuse our career ambition with our personal lives because many of us women are good at managing both sides.
Also what's wrong with both people taking their time out of their busy days to cook and clean for each other. Both sexes taking turns driving or ordering first. Both sexes taking time to look good for each other. Sounds pretty utopian, no? Since when did women have to do these tasks alone and also be soft women & yet a powerful woman too.
Back to the main topic though, i think it's safe to say trans-popularity has risen a lot due to the internet. I mean most men first get exposure to transwomen through the internet and the transwomen are usually a sort of sex worker or else are models. I mean seriously how many men here even know transwomen who aren't some type of sex workers... I dont think men like transwomen because cis-women are getting too masculine, i definitely think there's a big sex-driven influence/correlation here. Anyways don't know enough about biology or about their data they based their research off of to agree or disagree with the video, i just wanted to talk about women's equality still not being fully there and how it sometimes seems like men still have a problem with women taking dominant social roles in their careers.
Happy international women's day everyone. Respect your women.

What man wants to be berated by his woman? What man wants to be nagged after working all week by his woman? I will tell you this right now. I work form home and have heat and AC. I work appx 9 hours a day and if my boyfriend worked 12 hours a day that is three hours that gives me time to cook for him and do the dishes. Maybe hamburger helper or whatever and he can cook me something on the grill over the weekend or I may cook him something. 3x7 is 21, so he may work 21 hours more per day than me so I the least I can do is give him a clean house to come home to. I am always ready for romance unless I don't feel well so... Whatever he wants whenever he wants it. Really? What do I have to do. Suck a lollipop? That takes ten or 20 minutes. I love it but more importantly he deserves it and I do too. It will relieve his stress and make me feel really good.
