No and that wasn’t implied. Seems like you are taking disagreement with you very personally and are frankly behaving most like masks right now.

You think google, which caches millions and millions of porn sites, dictates what sex means despite others having very clearly explained how you are incorrect? Like, it’s fine that you add connotations to the word sex but it’s just not as meaningful to others. What you attach to a word is not universal.

Do you have anything worthwhile to add except snark and silly accusations of emotional abuse against you?

None of the results are porn sites though. The denotation of the word 'sex' is sexual intercourse though. Google results back up my claim. If you're going to patronisingly poo-poo it, then I'd like to see some evidence to the contrary.

I’m not searching something I know will show me something I don’t care to see. The point so, so, obviously, is that google images is not how anybody defines words.

It’s a ridiculous argument that requires us to both be disingenuous about how people define words.

It’s completely on you if you get offended by a kid saying something like ‘mum found out the sex of the baby! I’m gonna have a sister!’ or are so unable to discern context that you think they are talking about intercourse.

You can huff and puff and tell feminists that they need to talk how you want them to till the cows come home but it’s isn’t going to make you correct or your repeated point any more convincing.

You're repeating yourself. I'm still waiting for counter-evidence from you.

"mum found out the sex of the baby! I’m gonna have a sister!’ – no child has ever, or will ever say that. Prove otherwise. There are plenty of kids' shows & books that cover that subject. So go find an example, instead of pulling it out of your arse.

I’m waiting for you to prove everyone else has the exact same hang up you have. You think you can just say that no child would ever say something super common but I gotta give you a study or a thesis?

You’re so full of shit lol

I'm not surprised you consider a kids' show or book to be a study or thesis.

You’re the one saying kids shows and books prove that no child could ever say the words ‘my mum found out the sex of her baby’ and that google images are how everyone who speaks English thinks sex only ever means intercourse.

What? No, I'm saying show me an example of a child saying the sentence you made up. You can criticise how disagreeable you find my evidence, but it still beats literally no evidence at all, which is all you've provided so far.

Why when you’ll just turn around and say my anecdote doesn’t count? How would a child’s book prove that children are capable of understanding that sex has multiple meanings even when you aren’t? What is the point of providing you with proof you are wrong when you have ignored paragraphs and paragraphs of it from MT and BIR?

Calling your faulty proofs evidence doesn’t make it evidence.

Every reply of yours just obfuscates from your lack of evidence. You coming up with a random sentence & then making appeals to personal incredulity is not evidence. The sentence has to come from an external source in order for it to be evidence. I'm still waiting.

You better watch your language if you don't want to be banned for the rest of the week.
