[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sex is not a social construction. Gender is. Similarly, age is not a social construction, but youth/middle-age/old age etc. are. That's why we have sayings like "you're only as old as you feel" or "youth is wasted on the young" or "50 is the new 40" or "if you're 55 or better..." [/quote] [b]Well put. [/quote][/b] It's not well put, because this distinction you make between gender and sex is silly. The word gender has been used for decades and it's always been a polite euphemism for sex. Back in the 80's no one used the word gender to decipher how masculine/feminine one considered themselves to be. [/quote]
