"the feminine gender"

If you weren't a fool, you'd realize that feminine means having female qualities. It doesn't mean the same as female. You're trying to make the "feminine gender" be equivalent to the "female sex" and it just ain't the same.

Go listen to your George Michael CD's!

If you weren't a dishonest moron, you would realize that the term "the feminine gender" is an example of how the term "gender" can be used to mean "sex". This is different from definition 2b, which is: b : the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex.

So to recap, here is what you've learned. 1) Contrary to your mistaken assertation, the term "gender" is not limited to grammar. 2) Misrepresenting one of the most commonly referred to sites on the web will expose you as dishonest and desperate. 3) You lack even a basic grasp of how a dictionary works.

Here endeth the lesson.
