what's your point on the boats?

so they dont have sexed words

so gender doesent mean sex

http://allthingslinguistic.com/post/25113486541/grammatical-gender-versus-natural-gender

they have gendered words, but only male, female and neutral

so they dont have sexed words

gendered words are "sexed" words

*i made mistakes ask my gf for linguistics questions, she is now flooding my pms with links because she has a linguistics fetish*

<:40keks:337002418023694336>

because sex discribes physical characteristics of living things that reproduce sexually

not necessarily

i dont understand why you people cant understand how sex does not mean gender

if a man has no dick, he is still a man

dick isint the only sexual characteristic of a human

hmm... seems gender doesn't even make sense for that

or even any creature that reproduces sexually

"Basque has two genders, based on animacy, the Oluganda of Uganda use ten grammatical noun classes (which is by far a better term for grammatical gender), one which is for liquids and one which is for pejoratives and Zwahili employs 18 different noun classes."

actually, i guess in SJW land, liquid is a gender so....

😂

So, mayonnaise?

rule34 applies

id like to offer a noval idea

sex =/= gender

i got it, SJWs spent way too much time on tumblr, everything explained

i know i know, it seems strange

but science has answers

lol

plz continue

you have my attention

science has no control over language so does it really answer this question? given that science has a fixed definition for sex and language *used* to use gender as the same thing.

well you see, sex discribes a biological property, or perhaps even a physical property of creatures whom can reproduce highly similar life as themselves together. gender can be applied to anything as a discription

So, the next time I fill out a job application, I can complain that there is no "Doesn't Exist" option next to gender?

because gender isint controled by a scientific definition

@JadenFrostwolf i think that is called "other"

Point.

personification is a thing, you can also give emotions to innanimate objects, that doesn't mean those are "real"

everyone should just fill out "other" and answer yes if it asks for sex.

i argue that we shouldent call 2 things the same when they arnt

demonstatably arnt

so, what's your gender?

my gender is tl;dr

So, what do you call "a wicked or cruel person" then?

hillery clinton?

it is only demonstrably not the same if you CHANGE the original definition of gender.

actualy the origenal definition of gender probably hasent changed

as you still find this in most dictionaries if you look up the definition of gender: "the state of being male or female"

Well, a few words describe such a person: villain, brute, fiend, sadist...

its more that the definition of sex has changed

nope

nigga

sex and gender **used** to be the same

idk how anyone can deny that

then science defined one

the argument is that SJWs, just like with racism, have changed it for no reason

NIGGA

the chromosome was discovered only 100 years ago

gender/sex always existed

trust me, people could see the dicks

and having boobs or a vagina has, for the time before that, forced you into either male or female

damn streight, unfortunately sex means something different now

and deviants usually didn't survive for long, people didn't care

sex cant apply to everything gender applys to

nope, still means "are you programmed to have boobs or a dick"

because i cant have anal gender with your mom and a boat doesetn have a sex

nigga, even merriam-webster says : "the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex"

personification isn't a thing in all languages, that boat argument is really weak

specially given that gender is binary in most languages

everyone on earth should enjoin some explosive injected lead poisoning.

i think we can all agree

i recall someone earlier saying if you wanted a definition of gender, then define it as social or psychological sexual characteristics

wonder who the fuck that was

i guess they will remain some unknown genius

you did

I quoted you last time on that

nah cant be, grenade said evenmerriam-webster disagrees with me

followed by asking what categories would you define

that were concrete

the argument has kinda changed from "what is your definition" which you didn't really for reasons you made clear to "why should it still mean sex"

>why should it still mean sex
because it always did 😏

we are back at the start. What would you define "gender" that would be useful for society?

although that argument has boiled down to "it used to mean the same thing, SJWs tried to change it to something we have logically followed through to really be meaningless, so therefore it should retain its previous meaning over no meaning"

> why shouldent it mean sex
because i gendered your mom so hard she told me to stop and have sex with her

Have some coke first.

to be fair, if we go by science definition, things don't have sex, they have intercourse

you're not that good with language are you?

so if gender means biological sex, it is not a verb.

it also doesent mean sex

in any connotation

I'm getting vibes of the whole "what is white?" debates earlier with Sargon...

>gender means biological sex, it is not a verb
I don't think this can be said more simply than this

there are no boats with physical sexual traits there is no way for me to have gender with your mom

boats have no gender in chinese

So because coke exists, that means coke can't mean coke at the same time?

thats because gender is arbitrary

no it isn't z.z

this is back to Belial earlier argument, gender should still mean sex, the noun definition of sex, not the verb one.

gendered nouns it's not the same as biological sex

i mean theres so much overwelming evidence that it is that denying it it honestly awesome at this point but if you cant be convenced then ignorence is bliss

>so much overwelming evidence
point to it
