Ever since humans developed culture, man/woman has always been as much a social concept as a biological one. Men & women developed different in-group cultures, adopted different clothings & hairstyles & were socialized into different behavior patterns. That's why we have gender.
I've always believed that the #genderbinary is a cross-cultural, ahistorical phenomenon. Homo sapiens are a sexually dimorphic species after all. There are considerable in-group variation and cross-group overlapping, however, so exceptions may apply.
Some feminists believe that before #patriarchy, there was #matriarchy, but there's no evidence for that. Yes, there were matrilineal societies, but that's far different from matriarchy, and why do they think matriarchy is desirable while patriarchy is evil?
Lastly, #genderfree is just an empty slogan anti-trans people made up to imply that there's no such thing as gender, that sex equals gender, and that no one needs to transition, denying the validity of #transgenderism. This is crystal clear if you can see through the smokescreen.
