The modern West knows full well what a woman is. They proved it when Roe was struck down. The West just plays dumb because sexual deviants have infiltrated its institutions.

Most cultures didn't play these games because they were constantly on the edge of extinction. They were focused solely on getting the next generation to adulthood so they could contribute to society and produce the generation after that to keep things going. Knowing the difference between men and women is necessary for that enterprise. Back then a male pervert who tried to force people to treat him as a woman so he could live out his fetish would either be killed or exiled for being a drain on the community. That's one tradition I wish we would have kept.
