В связи с обсуждением Евровидения вспомнилась сохранённая цитата из одного обсуждения научной терминологии:
- The replacement of “sex” by “gender” is a great example of the euphemism treadmill. No doubt in 100 years “gender” will have a naughty meaning, and we'll need to find yet another word to replace it.
- Technically, “sex” and “gender” aren't the same thing. I learned it this way: Sex is between your legs, “gender” is between your ears.
