Better.
Better.
Too many very for today’s society where genetic anomalies and cancerous growths are on the rise.
Kira was a rebel at heart.
Bashir was in the “I’ve been genetically modified, which is illegal, so should I have kids?” camp, if I remember correctly.
Sisko loved his wife.
Odo was a gelatinous blob.
Jadzia was influenced by past multiple personalities, so she likely loved pans and pots.
O’Brien was a weeb. He only loved his waifu, the transporter room.
Jake was a reporter. He loved crawling into holes he shouldn’t have been crawling into.
Quark was a businessman. He loved risky ventures.
In some cases it’s functional. Not all genitals grow as they’re supposed to.

And the blame lies entirely on the companies themselves. False advertising to attract investors and placate shareholders that means lying through their teeth to make a fuss and then backtracking through language manipulation.
They created the media that exists today. The resulting mess is their responsibility.
Any limitations we have are either created by available resources or self-imposed.
I believe humans as a whole are willing to do anything and everything in every possible way.
Why would I care about context? Comment had a question, I had an answer. Problem solved.
Context is unimportant.
I was replying to a comment, not the title.
Thank you kindly. Sadly I cannot. Yesterday I was on a trip and happened to pass through one such location, which is why I can talk about it now.
The folk tale was that some Polish cartographers were mapping the area and asked some locals where they were. The locals shrugged and answered in their language a variant of “Fuck knows”. The cartographers took it to heart and the official name of that location on their map became a slightly altered variation of that joking reply.
Naturally later on, a copy of that map was used by the government in charge for census and the name remained sealed in stone.
Who said anything about gendered nouns? The question was about greater complexity making things easier.
In my eyes, the German language achieves that.
It’s a mouthful, but concise. (Telling as a non-german).
Case by case scenario. Man vs woman is simplest one. One gives the fuck, the other takes the fuck. Hence why gay men that took it were seen as less than equal to other men. And why men were seen as providers.
Some jobs were only done by men so only a noun for men was associated. Same for women.
Some biological functions were named after astral phenomenons, like menstruation.
Some locations and names were popularized through misunderstandings and mistranslation, like turkey - which has a different country name depending on where you are.
Or the more common ones are things like “Fuck knows”, “nowhere’s arsehole”, “between your mom’s legs”, “my goat’s testicles”, “where my cow shits”, “the middle between fuck off and kiss my ass” etc.
There is no real rhyme or reason. Each word has its own origin and they can all be very far apart from the intentions of their creators. Nor could those creators know the evolution of their choice in verbalizing some ideas the way they did.
Don’t search for unity where there is none.

PC stuff, multiple choices, conspiracies, all there.
Can’t buy it anymore. Only through piracy.
We’re all copies of each other and memory sync isn’t that far away. But it comes with ads.
Ugh. Now you got me thinking about hearing my heart beats.
Eat healthily, exercise.
Age, height, weight. Forget them all the time because they’re not much use day to day
