It is curious that the Anglo-Saxon language seems to have had no abstract term for sex, which was expressed only severally as manhood or womanhood. [Thomas Wright, note to "Anglo-Saxon and Old English Vocabularies," 1884] The New York Times stated, "Miller uses licentious sex scenes to set the stage for his philosophical discussions of self, love, marriage and happiness." [3] late 14c., seccioun, in astronomy, "the intersection of two straight lines; a division of a scale;" from Old French section and directly from Latin sectionem (nominative sectio) "a cutting, cutting off, division," noun of action from past-participle stem of secare"to cut" (from PIE root *sek-"to cut"). Trotzdem möchte ich zur Genus-Sexus-Beziehung hier auch eine Gegenstimme zu Wort kommen lassen. Die Sprachwissenschaftlerin Damaris Nübling verneint die Unabhängigkeit zwischen linguistischem Genus und biologischem Sexus und führt u.a. folgendes Beispiel an: Die meisten Menschen würden es so sehen, dass zwar eine Giraffe trächtig sein kann, nicht aber ein Löwe, für diese biologische Funktion muss die Form „Löwin“ herhalten. Ein „Löwe“ wird daher als männlich verstanden. Klingt plausibel, und ich widerspreche nicht. Nur möchte ich Frau Nübling entgegenhalten, was sich wohl die meisten Menschen, und sicher auch Frau Nübling selbst, unter einem Huhn vorstellen. Ich wette, dass es das Eier-legende Huhn ist, also die „Henne“ und nicht der „Hahn“, obwohl doch beide Hühner sind. Ein maskulines Genus (man hätte auch Genus 1 sagen können) haben z.B. „der Tiger“ und „der Mond“, ein feminines (oder Genus 2) z.B. „die Giraffe“ und „die Sonne“ und ein Genus „neutrum“ (oder Genus 0) z.B. „das Land“ und „das Geschlecht“. Es gibt sogar Substantive mit mehr als einem Genus: „der/das Dschungel“ oder „der/die/das Joghurt“ oder „der/die/das Neugeborene“.

Henry Miller, Preface to Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymus Bosch, New York: New Directions, 1957, p. ix. Interessant ist die gegenderte Form von Mensch („Menschin[nen]“) oder Mitglied („Mitglieder:innen“) dennoch. Mit der gleichen Begründung (unbestimmter Sexus) könnte man auch „Kind“ gendern („Kindin“) oder „Person“ („Personin“). Aber warum tut man es hier nicht, wohl aber z.B. bei „Gast“ („Gästin“)? Sie ahnen es nach obigen Beispielen bereits. Also especially the sex"the female sex, womankind" (1580s). The meaning "sexual intercourse" ( have sex) is by 1906; the meaning "genitalia" is suggested by 1933 ("Fumes of Formation") and probably is older. Sex symbol by 1871 in anthropology; the first person to whom the term was applied seems to have been Marilyn Monroe (1959). Sex-kitten is attested by 1954 (Brigitte Bardot). Sex object is by 1901, originally in psychology; sex appeal is attested by 1904.

Plexus (1953), the second volume, continues with the story of Miller's marriage to Mona, and covers Miller's attempts to become a writer after leaving his job at the Cosmodemonic Telegraph Company. It was first published in English in 1953 by Olympia Press as a two-volume set. [7] Nexus [ edit ]

Sexus (1949), the first volume, describes the break-up of Miller's first marriage to Maude as he meets, falls in love with and marries his second wife, the captivating and mysterious dancer Mona (June). All the while, he feels guilty for leaving Maude, and becomes more attracted to her following their divorce. At the beginning of Sexus, Miller is 33 years old. June is at first called Mara, but at the beginning of chapter 8, and for the remainder of the trilogy, her name is changed to Mona. Miller states that this is under the influence of his friend Dr. Kronski, and that the name change accompanied "other, more significant changes." She is one who has changed many details of her life: "her name, her birthplace, her mother, her upbringing, her friends, her tastes, even her desires." [2]

France Lifts Its Long Ban On Henry Miller's 'Sexus,'" New York Times, November 20, 1968. By subscription only. The Rosy Crucifixion, a trilogy consisting of Sexus, Plexus, and Nexus, is a fictionalized account documenting the six-year period of Henry Miller's life in Brooklyn as he falls for his second wife June and struggles to become a writer, leading up to his initial departure for Paris in 1928. The title comes from a sentence near the end of Miller's Tropic of Capricorn: "All my Calvaries were rosy crucifixions, pseudo-tragedies to keep the fires of hell burning brightly for the real sinners who are in danger of being forgotten." [1] Sexus [ edit ] The meaning "quality or character of being either male or female" with reference to animals is recorded by 1520s; by 19c. this meant especially "the anatomical distinction between male and female as evidenced by physical characteristics of their genital organs and the part taken by each in reproduction." Extended by 1560s to characteristics or structures in plants which correspond to sex in animals. Wer ernsthaft glaubt, das Rollenverständnis von Frauen in der heutigen Gesellschaft dadurch ändern zu können, indem er auch sprachlich permanent auf den weiblichen Sexus hinweist, der sollte „dem“ Mädchen bereits im Mutterleib das weibliche Genus „die“ zuweisen. Da „die Mädchen“ aber bereits für die Pluralform reserviert ist, wie wäre es mit „ die Junge“ (als Pendant zu „ der Junge“)? Warum ist eigentlich noch niemand darauf gekommen. Das Wort „mädchenhaft“ müssten wir jedoch dann aus unserem Wortschatz streichen, zu dumm nur, dass „jungenhaft“ dafür ein schlechter Ersatz wäre.

[Thomas Wright, note to "Anglo-Saxon and Old English Vocabularies," 1884] 영어에서는 성에 대한 추상적인 용어가 없었던 것이 흥미롭다. 성은 남성성 또는 여성성으로만 개별적으로 표현되었다. [토마스 라이트, "앵글로색슨어와 올드 영어 어휘집," 1884]

Substantive, die per se schon einen unbestimmen Sexus haben, wie z.B. Mensch, in eine gegenderte Form zu bringen („Menschinnen“, Anmerkung d. Verf.: unter dem angegebenen Link: https://vorlesungsverzeichnis.unibas.ch/de/semester-planung?id=257833 ist die Seite aktuell nicht erreichbar.), ergibt nun wirklich keinen Sinn, wird aber von Gender-Sprachaktivistinnen immer wieder versucht. Noch weniger sinnvoll ist es, Substantive zu gendern, die nicht nur einen unbestimmten Sexus besitzen, sondern überhaupt keinen besitzen („die Planetin“). Rational ist das nicht zu erklären. For the raw sex appeal of the burlesque "shows" there is no defense, either. These "shows" should be under official supervision, at the least, and boys beneath the age of eighteen forbidden, perhaps, to attend their performance, just as we forbid the sale of liquors to minors. [Walter Prichard Eaton, "At the New Theatre and Others: The American Stage, Its Problems and Performances," Boston, 1910] Es ist nicht nur der Artikel „ der“ („der“ Mensch), sondern vielmehr sein „böser“ Kern, das Suffix „ – er“. sexus in Charles du Fresne du Cange’s Glossarium Mediæ et Infimæ Latinitatis (augmented edition with additions by D.

[Walter Prichard Eaton, "At the New Theatre and Others: The American Stage, Its Problems and Performances," Boston, 1910] 버레스크 "쇼"의 성적 매력에 대해서는 변명할 수 없다. 이러한 "쇼"는 적어도 공식적인 감독 아래에 있어야 하며, 18세 미만의 소년들은 그들의 공연에 참석하는 것을 금지해야 한다. 우리가 미성년자에게 술을 판매하는 것을 금지하는 것처럼 말이다.
