which would mean it defines nothing

boats don't have any

which is why i dont like the word

boats are called she

do something about it

btw, afaik boat is male in spanish

barco

thats fine, now its male

or bote

la lancha is female

doesent make gender any more useful a way to define sex

now that inanimate objects have genders

you basically destroyed your own argument though, genders in languages are binary

i never said genders wernt binary

there's male, female and neutral

i said i dont care about them

and that it doesent define sex

you were arguing "gender =/= sex"

sex doesent define bianary, sex that we know of has a bianary

you lost me, idk what you meant

what you said before the last thing i said only makes sense with the thing you said before that if your defining bianary as sex

language has masculine, feminine, and neutral. If you want to call that arbitrary distinctions gender, then fine. But that is a random ass thing to call gender

also probably not appropriate because i believe it already has a name

continuing with this thread of discussion.. so should languages invent 35 new ways to gender nouns?

oh, it already has a name, grammatical gender, so i guess you can just call that gender

well, sjw's would like that

and good fucking luck to them, i'd like to see them try it

would be amusing to see them try

i havent called any arbitrary disstinction gender, at first i started with gender not existing, then i moved forward with the idea that if you want gender to exist then gender must define something different than sex because things without sex have gender, if you created a definition that made sense in that context for gender then gender would be social and psychological sexual characteristics

gender always existed as another synonim to sex

we didn't agree on that?

gender = sex, just as there are many other words that mean the same as other words

its a piss poor definition for sex if it doesent actually work as a definition for sex

you can take any existing thing that says gender and you could replace it with sex

as that is how it was used

you cant say "this word means this word but only sometimes"

you can say those applications of the word sex seem silly or random, and i would agree

that doesn't change the fact that is how it was used

Besides, why not?

there is no "but only sometimes"

what sex is a boat?
