genderized
Assigned masculine or feminine
Genderized means divided or distinguished by gender, or made to carry gender associations.
Products, colors, or activities become genderized when marketed differently to males and females: The toy aisle is heavily genderized—pink for girls, blue for boys.
Language can be genderized through pronouns or gendered nouns.
The word often carries critical connotations, implying the gender distinction is artificial or unnecessary.
