    Explanation: Just a linguistics joke. "Trad" chuds often insist there are only two genders, and idolize Rome, without the first idea about Rome other than "Marble busts and strong jawed legions".

    But the Latin language itself has three genders - masculine, feminine, and neuter!

    Be careful - they might just take the word "neuter" a bit too far...

    Never thought about this. My native language also has this so this will be a fun counter argument against the "there is only man and woman" crowd

    I don't want to oppose the message of your meme. But I think "genus" is not the same as gender or sexus. Genus is more like grammatical gender ;)

    Gendered nouns aren’t that bad. The 6 grammatical cases are going to blow their fucking minds.
