we are talking about the west

2018-03-05 02:27:44 UTC  

so not most languages

2018-03-05 02:27:56 UTC  

the Chinese have 5 different words using the same 3 letters

2018-03-05 02:27:56 UTC  

in the same order

2018-03-05 02:27:57 UTC  

if you go to asian countries, there's not even pronouns

2018-03-05 02:28:02 UTC  

kanjis are gendered

2018-03-05 02:28:18 UTC  

let's not dig a bigger hole into this

2018-03-05 02:29:07 UTC  

really i think only spanish has a word close to sex

2018-03-05 02:29:10 UTC  

sexo

2018-03-05 02:29:14 UTC  

what feminists are trying to do, removing gendered names of things can't even be done in most asian languages

2018-03-05 02:29:21 UTC  

italians use sesso

2018-03-05 02:29:24 UTC  

replace gender on all forms with "chromo" and have it be Y/X

2018-03-05 02:29:26 UTC  

portuguese too

2018-03-05 02:29:37 UTC  

well french use sexe

2018-03-05 02:30:14 UTC  

good luck trying to fix German if they are trying to make it "gender neutral"

2018-03-05 02:30:20 UTC  

even then though latin languages are also the most common languages to have a word with multiple definitions

2018-03-05 02:30:35 UTC  

and have those words transfer from verb to noun

2018-03-05 02:31:03 UTC  

also boats have genders apparently

2018-03-05 02:31:06 UTC  

but not sex

2018-03-05 02:31:09 UTC  

@Arch-Fiend is there no other language in which there is multiple words that mean the same thing?

2018-03-05 02:31:21 UTC  

yes there are

2018-03-05 02:31:23 UTC  

i think most languages do grenade

2018-03-05 02:31:51 UTC  

which is why "they use gender insted of sex because sex can also be a verb" is a weak argument

2018-03-05 02:32:14 UTC  

asking for the "sex" is also informal

2018-03-05 02:32:15 UTC  

its also not how science works

2018-03-05 02:32:25 UTC  

asking "gender" is considered the formal way of asking it

2018-03-05 02:32:30 UTC  

language has nothing to do with science

2018-03-05 02:32:34 UTC  

this is language, not science

2018-03-05 02:32:56 UTC  

perhaps you shouldent have been arguing that gender is a scientific word earlier then

2018-03-05 02:33:01 UTC  

most languages follow irrational evolutions

2018-03-05 02:33:08 UTC  

pretty sure science usually refers to things officially by sex, unofficially by whatever is common colloquial language

2018-03-05 02:33:16 UTC  

because the verb for sex in science is reproduction

2018-03-05 02:33:24 UTC  

or compitulation

2018-03-05 02:33:28 UTC  

or insemination

2018-03-05 02:33:35 UTC  

you misrepresent his statements

2018-03-05 02:33:55 UTC  

gender has, in colloquial English, be the same as biological sex.

2018-03-05 02:34:11 UTC  

then i can easly say it doesent exist

2018-03-05 02:34:15 UTC  

that does not mean biological sex is called gender in science

2018-03-05 02:34:19 UTC  

and just use a different language

2018-03-05 02:34:20 UTC  

aren't you contributing to my point? if you say "sex" you assume the act, if you say "gender" you assume the binary definition which can _also_ be defined as "sex"

2018-03-05 02:34:22 UTC  

well, no words exists
