There are three genders. It’s a grammatical term. There is masculine, feminine, and neuter. There are two sexes.
Wrong...
There are 3 sexes...
Male sex...
Female sex...
And Insects...
Ahahaha
And the hermaphrodites...they can all f each other.
This exactly!
It is a grammatical term!!!!!!
If you're talking about yourself in Russian, it helps to know your sex. In the past tense, Russian verbs take the gender of the subject, so if I say in Russian, "I shot a wolf" (Я застрелил волка), "shot" has a masculine ending, but if a woman uses that same phrase (Я застрелилa волка), it takes a feminine ending.
Actually, these days, they claim four: Masculine, Feminine, Common (could be either) and Neuter. Maybe prepping for another definition switch on down the road. Kkkommiecrats never sleep until they are six feet under.
“There are three genders. It’s a grammatical term. There is masculine, feminine, and neuter. There are two sexes.”
My understanding also. As far as grammar goes, I don’t think it has much application in English, but it does in French. When referring to a house (maison) one precedes it with an article that is of the female gender (la) as in la maison. Speaking of a gun one would use the male gender (le) as in le pistolet.
As for sex, a very small percentage are born with XXY chromosome. That’s the only biological distinction that I am aware of besides male and female.
Right now we just have a lot of people who have a perverted notion of sex. I think it all started in the post office with the female mail man. When spoken, it sounds just like female male man. It can be sung to the tune of macho, macho man.
