hk blues Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 17 minutes ago, BFTD said: Mine's been doing that for the past ten years, mainly with me and the wean. She always, always gets our names wrong the first time, which is remarkable. The mother-in-law has a thing where she always gets the gender of animals wrong when referring to them, and my mother's just entered that stage too. I could understand occasional confusion due to old age, but fucking it up every time? My wife does it with our 4 cats - she gets the names wrong as well as the gender. Even more impressive is that all 4 are named after their features (mow mow, Oreo, blindy and ginger!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens all the time - ever since he was a toddler. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this instance he almost certainly means sex and not gender but there's now a bit of discussion about this with the higher apes. So some non-human animals might have genders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
