There are whole languages that assign gender to every object.

True, but me living in una casa (house, feminine) doesn't make someone make someone feminine by proxy

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

Well obviously not; being inside a female is super masculine

spoilerHopefully obvious sarcasm

There's nothing more masculine than taking a big, burly, hairy beast of a man... then bending him over and fucking the shit out of him.

It's true. Fucking a dude that's bigger than you is the straightest thing you can do. You have: asserted dominance, fucked, and demonstrated your virility to the women.

I don’t know if you’re being serious but what does that have to do with anything? In Italian the word for “beard” is feminine, I can assure you nobody links it with femininity in any way. Just because the neutral gender doesn’t exist that doesn’t mean everything is actually gendered.

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Ok but like Italian assigns gender to words randomly and on a whim.

[-] Draghetta@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Exactly, my point was that word genders are meaningless
