“He’s”

So Gender is male? Interesting.

Yeah, gender being a social construct doesn’t mean everyone everywhere just suddenly becomes genderless androgynous blobs, we still express our gender in the ways we want to express them.

For example High heels, sheer leggings, long curly hair, and a flowy skirt and poofy blouse adorned with shiny bits. Am I describing the style dress of women today or the style of dress of 17th century French kings?

Could be the generic he too

But it’s a specific he. It’s referring to a specific person.

And why is a generic pronoun male?

The answer to your second question is that ‘he’ was historically used as generic pronouns, though it’s not as acceptable nowadays.

Well associating pronouns with a certain gender is also a social construct, so it still tracks.

What does being a robot have to do with anything? He still has male pronouns.

  1. Robots presumably don’t have a need to be gendered, at least in most portrayal of robots I’ve seen.
  2. The creator refered to it with a male pronouns, probably because their vision of the character have masculine features. That doesn’t necessarily mean the character itself is male gendered.

Gender is no one’s slave (other than for kinky reasons)
