feminine article
show me what about the boat makes it feminine?
rule34 applies
you'd have ask the people who made up language
not a god damn thing about a boat makes it feminine, its almost like gender isint the same god damn thing as sex
if you want a guess on boat in particular, it was because the sailors on it build the same kind of connection with it as they did with their wives, so the boat became a sort of replacement for the females of their lives, given that it used to be all men and nothing but the men.
the moment sex discribed sexual characteristics or an action sex no longer means gender
they personified the boat
here, have a pic of Titanic
humans are weird
i like the starberd side on that chick
funny stuff aside
some lanmguages have gendered words
others don't
what's your point on the boats?
so they dont have sexed words
so gender doesent mean sex
they have gendered words, but only male, female and neutral
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*

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
