See, that's what I can't figure out: how is the sharp division and inequality between alphas and omegas not enforcing the shitty gender dynamic? The species is divided into two reproductive kinds, one of whom (doesn't really matter which, though it's most often the childbearing kind) is subjugated, stereotyped and subdued based on their biology - let's take a step back and forget about labels here - how is that not the exact same thing which happens to women in our world? I'm not getting in the gendered insults, that's obviously a whole another bag of stones. My understanding of the omegaverse is this: by the rules of the society they live in, this class of people is perceived as inferior and in need of guidance solely because of their biology (incidentally the biology relevant to reproducing). It might be that I just get too invested in the 'verse when reading, but that bothers me, very much so.

I second your definition of "woman," but I am not arguing that omegas identify as women. They identify as omegas, which is a term, basing on the biological, cultural and societal cues of the omegaverse, directly equivalent to what we call "women."

The other anon ignored the question, so let me just ask: in the context of omegaverse, what makes the omega a man?
