Gender, Are You A He/She, Or An It?

Men have always been the default. We were supposed to include women in “mankind,” even as we came in peace for all mankind, but that cannot happen with the way that human psychology and language works. And, our psychology of course, is also shaped by culture. We can be sure male is the default, even in our woke, “post-sexism” society. We can look at a chipmunk, or a bear, or an octopus, or even a bee or ant — although the ones we see are almost always female — and people will say “He looks cute. Angry. Smart. Stinging.” <a href="https://medium.com/roaring-rivers/gender-are-you-a-he-she-or-an-it-e9ebbf682a5d">Visit Now</a>
