Is it my language barrier? (German) I’m a wild defender of absolutely wide gender identity, but gender? This episode is hard confusing to me. Is gender in English not the same as sex, and means gender identity nowadays? But dude, aiming stuff towards dan aka “software updating” feels extremely inappropriate. 😁 Love you guys, keep stimulating by brain.

I can't remember the episode completely, so I can't comment on the "software updating". Did I say that? But, as a whole, this episode is to challenge our perceptions of gender in the Viking Age. And this is something I'm only just getting my head around too. This idea of possessions or tasks being purely gendered could be a more recent one. It appears that the focus, from my understanding, could have been more status based, rather than gendered. Of course there definitely are some gender roles but there are also instances where our modern understanding doesn't fit. So it's likely they didn't focus in men and women like we do. I think typically gender is now used when talking about how someone presents themselves. And sex is the biological definition Dan
