>to me

that is not an argument, but a preference

2018-03-05 02:36:16 UTC  

i rather maintain concrete, historicaly fortuitious language which i can argue my points with

2018-03-05 02:36:33 UTC  

which is fine to have, but does not mean it will apply to anyone else

2018-03-05 02:36:35 UTC  

if gender becomes volatile and not useful, people will just use "sex"

2018-03-05 02:37:04 UTC  

and this is how we get to "biological sex is a social construct"

2018-03-05 02:37:10 UTC  

if gender becomes volatile and not useful it will be because people are using it for that purpose

2018-03-05 02:37:22 UTC  

meaning its not useless

2018-03-05 02:37:48 UTC  

if enough SJW use racism as "prejudice+power" should we assume the definition changed too?

2018-03-05 02:38:13 UTC  

they will change it against your will if you let them

2018-03-05 02:38:22 UTC  

@.B good news, they now have a name for prejudice against people of the same power level, its apparently called colorism

2018-03-05 02:38:28 UTC  

ik

2018-03-05 02:38:30 UTC  

xD

2018-03-05 02:38:47 UTC  

and colorism is exactly what the initial racism was

2018-03-05 02:38:50 UTC  

which is ironic

2018-03-05 02:38:56 UTC  

which is why i think its best just to just give gender a better definition or no definition at all

2018-03-05 02:39:01 UTC  

and invalidates their redifinition of racism

2018-03-05 02:39:12 UTC  

gotta love when they finally realized there are black people who are racist against black people, and had to make a new word because they were like "oh yeah... this is a thing"

2018-03-05 02:39:17 UTC  

or, you say gender = sex

2018-03-05 02:39:21 UTC  

and it's done

2018-03-05 02:39:30 UTC  

so does that mean black on black crime is now colorism?

2018-03-05 02:39:32 UTC  

wont hold up in the long run

2018-03-05 02:39:54 UTC  

it holded up until today

2018-03-05 02:39:54 UTC  

gender doesent mean sex, because boats have a gender but not a sex

2018-03-05 02:40:04 UTC  

what

2018-03-05 02:40:06 UTC  

boats?

2018-03-05 02:40:10 UTC  

boats are female

2018-03-05 02:40:14 UTC  

wut?

2018-03-05 02:40:22 UTC  

that is personification

2018-03-05 02:40:24 UTC  

most things in the spanish language have genders

2018-03-05 02:40:28 UTC  

so?

2018-03-05 02:40:30 UTC  

ahh

2018-03-05 02:40:53 UTC  

not all languages have gendered nouns

2018-03-05 02:40:59 UTC  

@Arch-Fiend but if gender =/= sex, then a boat does not have a gender, it has a sex

2018-03-05 02:41:16 UTC  

gender doesent equel sex

2018-03-05 02:41:21 UTC  

the boat has no sexual characteristics, sorry

2018-03-05 02:41:26 UTC  

because there is only male gender, female gender, and neutral gendered words in languages

2018-03-05 02:41:31 UTC  

you can't have it both ways

2018-03-05 02:41:42 UTC  

thats because gender doesent discribe sexual characteristics

2018-03-05 02:41:45 UTC  

so gender could only be binary if that is the point you tried to make

2018-03-05 02:41:52 UTC  

well no physical ones

2018-03-05 02:42:09 UTC  

gender only defines social and psychological sexual characteristics
