Hah, you don't even want to know what kind of drugs Finnish is on.

Hah, you don't even want to know what kind of drugs Finnish is on.

various forms of media taught me the drugs are coffee, licorice and to a lesser extent amphetamines

Dutch is pretty simple, none of this gender bullshit.

[shadenight123]

Italian.

Lui. Lei. Egli. Ella. Essi. Esse.

To prove we are a strong and proud nation, whenever there's a mixed group of males and females, we always use the male variant. Even if it's only one male and hundreds of females.

Because We Can.

(The Post is Intended as Ironic and Not Sexist, if you find sexism in the post please refer to the Italian Dictionary and Grammar. I didn't make those rules)

Actually, that behavior is pretty standard in most languages.

Polish is like that seemingly, heavily influenced by the patriarchal society in Poland.

[scriver]

I think most European languages do that because of Latin. Same as Swedish words have two "genders" even though what group they are in have nothing to do with genders (man, woman, girl, boy, cow, and bull, for example, are all of the same gender).

Because of Latin.

Not true.

Some cultures worship the penis directly, others build gigantic phallic monuments, and others go all the way and make sure they always, ALWAYS, reference the penis when speaking.

That's like, super transphobic man~

[Owlbread]

I think there is more justification for worshiping the penis rather than the imaginary all-powerful, benevolent being. Indeed, my ancestors worshiped penises and fat lasses many years ago. Cave paintings in this land prove it.

Silly Indo-Europeans. We don't even have gender-based personal pronouns (she, he, her and the rest).

[ChairmanPoo]

The penis is evil

[da_nang]

Silly Indo-Europeans. We don't even have gender-based personal pronouns (she, he, her and the rest).

Technically speaking, neither does latin.
Is, ea and id (and se for reflexive) are as close as you get, but it's really just "it" with different genders.

Vanilla gender fallacy?

Didn't Scotland have many migratory waves? At least I'm pretty sure I probably have little genetic information in common with the North-Western Germans from 3000 years ago.
