    Language isn’t objective though. It wasn’t handed down from some deity.

    Language is a constantly evolving negotiation of new and remixed communications, performed through billions of interactions every single day. It’s collaborative and unpredictable and sometimes someone comes up with something cool and the next day everybody is copying them.

    In short, language is socially constructed.

    I think it’s a great analogy for gender in that respect.
