"Gender" is a Fake Term

Post by Fife » Mon May 15, 2017 7:07 pm

Does everybody understand the word "gender?"

Why We Should Stop Using the Term ‘Gender’
To state my thesis plainly: gender is a grammatical concept that has been co-opted as a means of confusing the uneducated about the biological facts of sexual dimorphism for distinctly ideological purposes. The strategy has widely worked. All those committed to scientific truth and biological reality should stop using the term in that way. Continuing to do so is playing into the hands of openly anti-science social constructionists. To claim there are only two genders is a confused response. It grants their core premise while ostensibly disputing their arguments.

Maybe we should.

If gender goes away, then there are only sexes.....

Science says there are only two sexes - X and Y, only a single chromosome controls gender, and the human genome only has two alleles per chromosome. So, if gender ceases to be a concept, then there are only males and females.

The "third gender" is a genetic mutation of XYY and other variants that are mixtures of the two sexes XX and XY - not a new sex. But Hermaphrodite are, for the most part, not the ones pontificating the "gender-neutral" society mantra / quackery. The concept of "gender" has to exist in order for the SJWs to define a "gender-less" society.

Dumping gender for sex certainly solves the whole restroom kerfuffle.

Heaven forbid we use the word "sex" in public. Jesus would smite our cities.
SJWs are a natural consequence of corporatism.

This is just silly. There is nothing sinister, or conspiratorial, about different having genders, and biological sexes. In some cultures have/had assigned genders (And their expected roles/duties) not completely congruent with the biological sexes. Any decent cultural anthropologist could give examples. Heck, some historians might be able too. 21th century Western Civilization isn't everything.

As long as Social Constructionism is the theory du Jour you're stuck with Gender as a thing. You need to dig up the postmodernist cultural marxist ideology with its roots first. It's going to take decades to purge the humanities departments of the universities of the western world.

Who's going to do it? And how?
