How The French Language Can Help You Understand The Human Mating Dance
Hint : It’s not what you think
“A determiner (also called determinative) is a word, phrase, or affix that occurs together with a noun or noun phrase and serves to express the reference of that noun or noun phrase in the context” — Wikipedia
In French, nouns have genres. In German, they have three genres. And I think Finnish has 5.
I like to look at the 2 french genres and say that they’re the two genders.
Masculine. And Feminine.
We haven’t logically and rationally thought through the whole thing before having assigned a gender to a noun. We just kinda slapped a gender because we felt like it.
There’s something more primitive going on here. Just like the human mating dance.
If we take a look at the genders of the nouns in the lexical field of the human mating dance, we have some deep realizations.
Pursuit is feminine.
Date is masculine.
Relationship is feminine.
Sex is masculine.
Neediness is feminine.
Mystery is masculine.
Niceness is feminine.
Status is masculine.
Submission is feminine.
Purpose is masculine.
