Fun fact: TIL that if you use height mods on the parents, you occasionally can end up with a slightly shorter child.
How many people’s most beloved childhood stuffed animals are actually teddy bears, like I feel like that’s a thing someone made up. Reblog this and put what your longest owned and/or favorite stuffed animal as a child was in the tags, inquiring minds want to know
I feel like the fact that gendered pronouns even exist in the first place is a testament to the grotesque importance of gender within civilization as a means of stratification and control.
When you refer to someone, why do you use pronouns for gender, of all things, given the grammatical reason for the existence of pronouns (to serve as a short substitute to a person’s name when referring to them repeatedly)? Under the logic of gendered pronouns, pronouns could be used to indicate any property or characteristic of an individual and yet they were chosen to indicate gender. Are the ideal physical characteristics and/or societal role of an individual, i.e., their gender, necessary to mention constantly in casual speech as a substitute for their name? The fact that gender is given so much importance in language is a clear illustration of society’s dependence on gender and the division of labor that comes therewith.this is a great take and also a really entertaining time to let you know that grammatical “gender” of pronouns in sumerian was not divided as masculine/feminine but rather animate/inanimate, and the “animate” gender was used of humans, gods, and statues
There are languages with complex grammatical gender systems still around today as well!
Huh. Idk how I feel about this. Op, as a fellow Polish person, you probably know that in Polish for example the word for grammatical gender is ‘rodzaj’ (type, kind), and gendered pronouns apply not only to people but to all other classes of nouns as well. You’d use a feminine pronoun for a spoon, a neuter pronoun for a chair, and a masculine pronoun for a table. Plenty of other languages have more than two genders, or no gendered pronouns at all.
I don’t disagree with what you’re criticising about gender in society and I don’t disagree that language can be sexist. But gender in language is a means of classification. I don’t know that you can view it as inherently sexist or illustrative of anything, and I wonder if a lot of these doubts are only there because of the use of the word “gender” for both grammar and people.
change my mind
