Yeah, so what if it changed a long time ago? If it was back then, when these were reversed, I would suggest the then current stereotype coloring. This is like telling me you cannot pronounce sounds in modern English because prior to the Great Vowel Shift, they sounded different. | ||

I suppose I just find it odd that you’re recommending a gendered approach to color (which is fluid, depending on time or country) on a post that is highlighting how our perception of gender (when it comes to names) is fluid. | ||
