wont hold up in the long run
it holded up until today
gender doesent mean sex, because boats have a gender but not a sex
what
boats?
boats are female
wut?
that is personification
most things in the spanish language have genders
so?
ahh
not all languages have gendered nouns
@Arch-Fiend but if gender =/= sex, then a boat does not have a gender, it has a sex
gender doesent equel sex
the boat has no sexual characteristics, sorry
because there is only male gender, female gender, and neutral gendered words in languages
you can't have it both ways
thats because gender doesent discribe sexual characteristics
so gender could only be binary if that is the point you tried to make
well no physical ones
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
