> Pissing in the wind is a gendered statement.

I’ve seen videos that beg to differ.



One the one hand, that is technically true. I'm sure there do exist some videos that demonstrate that fact.

On the other, across my 53+ years of living on this planet, I don't think I have yet met a single female who would try to participate in that kind of activity. And I've met more than a few males who would actually be entertained by that outcome.

So, on the weight of my own personal experience, I would have to agree with the section you quoted and responded to.


More murders are committed by males. Does that make the simple verb “murder” inherently gendered? Is that your claim? because that’s the only possible relevance your odd personal testimony seems to be implying.
