> "Typically, women are trail-blazers in language change and take up innovative features first, then males start using them later. OT, but why say "women", but then "males"? Or vice versa? I don't particularly like "fe/male": since it's a generic term for the sex of any animal, it comes off more as a biological taxonomy. "We have seen this behaviour in multiple human specimen." You kind of need those two words as adjectives. But not as nouns.
