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

        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.

      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?
