My point is, you, me, CULTURE defines masculine and feminine. Which is why you suggest "it doesn't need defining." Well, it doesn't to you or I, but my question wasn't to define it, but rather pointed to WHO or WHAT defined it, because any review of history will show that it obviously changes.

No, I don't think culture really defines it. Femininity & masculinity are innate. Science has proven that boys and girls are different from birth, in both personality and behavior. (And the way they use their brains.)
Culture may enhance it in certain ways, but pretty much I can tell a manly man no matter what culture he's from and vice versa. Manly men are just as obvious in Scotland as they are in the USA. Feminine women are just as easy to spot in India as they are in China.
The outward trappings aren't what make a person truly masculine or feminine, although it certainly contributes. It's more behavioral. The trappings are only reflective of a leaning one way or the other.
