but not sex
@Arch-Fiend is there no other language in which there is multiple words that mean the same thing?
yes there are
i think most languages do grenade
which is why "they use gender insted of sex because sex can also be a verb" is a weak argument
asking for the "sex" is also informal
its also not how science works
asking "gender" is considered the formal way of asking it
language has nothing to do with science
this is language, not science
perhaps you shouldent have been arguing that gender is a scientific word earlier then
most languages follow irrational evolutions
pretty sure science usually refers to things officially by sex, unofficially by whatever is common colloquial language
because the verb for sex in science is reproduction
or compitulation
or insemination
you misrepresent his statements
gender has, in colloquial English, be the same as biological sex.
then i can easly say it doesent exist
that does not mean biological sex is called gender in science
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"
well, no words exists
all words are socially constructed
yes.. so?
"socially constructed" says nothing
so, then saying it doesn't exist because its not science, but language, is not really a good argument
everything is socially constructed
its not useful to me to have gender and sex mean the same thing because you will have people argue that gender means whatever they want it to mean while sex will never be touched, sex will simply be replaced and ultimately youll lose the argument in the long run
the other way around
>to me
that is not an argument, but a preference
i rather maintain concrete, historicaly fortuitious language which i can argue my points with
which is fine to have, but does not mean it will apply to anyone else
if gender becomes volatile and not useful, people will just use "sex"
and this is how we get to "biological sex is a social construct"
if gender becomes volatile and not useful it will be because people are using it for that purpose
meaning its not useless
if enough SJW use racism as "prejudice+power" should we assume the definition changed too?
they will change it against your will if you let them
@.B good news, they now have a name for prejudice against people of the same power level, its apparently called colorism
