The big thing that people get wrong and which makes me so very tired is that ITāS NOT SOCIETAL GENDER, itās just a case of terrible terminology that weāre stuck with. A chair isnāt feminine or whatever, itās just that words related to femininity happen to be in the same class as other words.
I really wish we could all agree to call it basically anything else, like āgenreā which shares the same root but doesnāt create the connotation to societal gender.
