Re: GNC how, and faves?

Because none of those things are GNC in and of themselves. Being GNC involves a conscious, deliberate decision to subvert societal gender norms.

For example, a woman who is physically strong because she helps out around her family's farm wouldn't be GNC because she's not consciously trying to subvert gender norms by doing so, she's just helping out where she's needed. Likewise, a woman who wears non-feminine clothing because it's the most practical for what she does also isn't being GNC if the primary reason that she's wearing it is solely due to it being practical unless her choice of job is purposefully something that isn't seen as being feminine.

I don't think that's quite it. Your example of the woman who is strong because she helps around on a farm is a true example of not being GNC, because she's doing something necessary and is not consciously deciding to become strong as a result, it's just a side-effect. If, however, she (for example) goes on to use the strength she gained as a side-effect to compete in a male-dominated sport in which strength is an asset, then that would be GNC. Even if she's doing it because she loves the sport and not because she's trying to subvert gender norms. Simply being a woman who enjoys a "for men" activity is GNC, and so is not letting backlash stop her from doing it, even if the main reason is because she wants to keep doing what she loves, not because she's trying to prove to them that they're wrong.
