So, if female is only an adjective, then male is also only an adjective.

Therefore we can both modify each other and no one is the object of that modification, right?

Kinda, sorta, maybe . . . maybe not.

Wait . . . can an adjective modify another adjective?

Nevermind.

You've got me thinking too much about this.
