1. gender

   Sex is a distinction among living beings; it is also the characteristic by which most living beings are distinguished from inanimate things, which are of no sex; gender is a distinction in language partially corresponding to this distinction in nature; while there are but two sexes, there are in some languages, as in English and German, three genders. The French language has but two genders and makes the names of all inanimate objects either masculine or feminine; some languages are without the distinction of gender, and those that maintain it are often quite arbitrary in its application. We speak of the masculine or feminine gender, the male or female sex.

1. Christin Munsch:

   There's plenty of great literature showing how when men in particular undergo gender identity threats, they engage in hypermasculine behaviors, sex is one of the most sort of gender-typed behaviors. You think of men as ... (having) sex on the brain. They can engage in a behavior associated with masculinity.

   The gender pay gap does exist, and I'm sure there are other women out there who are just so appreciative [that they get to] do what they love and just so appreciative of being able to care for their family or so appreciative of just having a job that having the conversation is terrifying.

4. Steve Scalise:

   It’s truly unbelievable how out of touch big-government socialists are with the concerns of hard-working taxpayers who are struggling to feed their families and even be able to afford to drive to work, rather than wasting millions of taxpayer dollars on Hollywood show trials attacking their political opponents, and changing bathroom gender designations in the Capitol, Speaker Pelosi and President Biden should get to work fixing the litany of crises that they alone created.

5. Mark Sauer:
