A friend says he thinks of gender as a color. Gender does share with color a certain ontological indeterminacy: it isn’t quite right to say that an object *is* a color, nor that the object *has* a color. Context also changes it: all cats are grey, etc. Nor is color *voluntary*, precisely. But none of these formulations means that the object in question is *colorless*.

“‘It is language which is assertive, not he.‘“ it is absurd, Barthes says, to try to flee from language’s assertive nature by “add[ing] to each sentence some little phrase of uncertainty, as if anything that came out of language could make language tremble.”
