Humans are the only mammals with genders at all. Are you confusing gender with sex?

- bebe83949rj 3mo agoBoth are synonyms! Like when pretend "woman" sports are not for woman, but "female" only! Or woman should be in mans only prison, to get raped!
- nozzlegear 3mo ago> Both are synonyms! Not the way you're using them. Dogs and cats don't have genders, but they do have sexes.
- inigyou 3mo agoHas that been proven?
- nozzlegear 3mo agoThere are some animals that come close to having what we'd call gender roles: bonobos, some other primates (not all), and a bird called a ruff. But as far as we can tell, those animals don't have an internal "I am X gender" self concept. (Interesting note: bonobos are very fluid and change their gender roles depending on the situation and context.)
- inigyou 3mo agoWe can't talk to them, so we don't know how they feel, so of course they don't have any known internal feelings. If you observed humans from a distance in their natural habitat for a while you probably also wouldn't find any gender.
- nozzlegear 3mo agoI'm not sure what you're getting at here, you seem to be repeating my point that humans are the only animals we know of with genders. Am I misunderstanding?
