@LinkisaTERF@Drco2552@Markcbqi@nyaraVT I find it hard to believe that it’s a coincidence that terfs and misogynists both demand rigidity for what defines a woman without the two being related
@LinkisaTERF@Drco2552@Markcbqi@nyaraVT You are literally the kind of person I was talking about, I literally said the definitions were flexible and you basically said “nuh-uh!”, your entire point hinges on prescriptivism, I highly doubt there’s a common definition that explicitly demands gender must have stereotypes
@LinkisaTERF@Drco2552@Markcbqi@nyaraVT They can be involved, but that’s not to say they must be involved in gender, I haven’t really heard or seen anyone demanding absolute inflexibility for gender outside of the anti-trans crowd
@LinkisaTERF@Drco2552@Markcbqi@nyaraVT Well no, I’m quite certain that misogynists are more likely to suggest stereotypes are unbreakable rules that every woman must follow or else they’re not “female” enough, than they are to say gender exists
@thatguy33975867@Drco2552@Markcbqi@nyaraVT It’s gender identity, it doesn’t need to fit into a neat little box to mean something, one definition doesn’t necessarily overwrite the or invalidate other, if it did then it would be flimsy, this is an argument of descriptivism vs prescriptivism at this point
@thatguy33975867@Drco2552@Markcbqi@nyaraVT Saying “fuck you” would mean the same thing as what you just said, you’re not proving me wrong, you’re just insulting me, I’ve explained a nuanced concept to the best of my ability
@Drco2552@Markcbqi@nyaraVT Knowing there’s nuance to gender identity doesn’t make anyone either of those things, refusing to accept the nuance, along with using a word that implies an inherent inability to understand, makes you a fool and an asshole, and invalidates your argument
@PurrsMusic87@Markcbqi@nyaraVT One definition, and one people definitely use, sure, but that’s not all there is, as the majority of people know, gender is not that simple
@LongWalkShm2md@Markcbqi@nyaraVT One definition, and one people definitely use, sure, but that’s not all there is, as the majority of people know, gender is not that simple
@Drco2552@Markcbqi@nyaraVT One definition, and one people definitely use, sure, but that’s not all there is, as the majority of people know, gender is not that simple
@Markcbqi@nyaraVT It’s what ever fits the individual best, and no a word not being locked to a single universal definition doesn’t make it meaningless, take the word liberty for example, it means different things to different cultures and different people
@Markcbqi@nyaraVT Depends on who you ask, genders aren’t monoliths, women may not fully agree on everything that defines their gender, I’d bring up the common denominator but that might be called circular reasoning
