What do you see as the crucial difference between "I think there are strong gender overtones here" and "I think that water is wet"?

One difference is that no-one ever says the latter.

'Pippin, don't throw that!' 'But why? What's going to happen?' 'I don't like the look of the water.' 'It looks just like it always does...' [tentacles creep out and try to wrap around the Fellowship] 'Guys, I think there are strong gender overtones here!' 'Next time, Pippin, say that water is wet.'

Yep :-P No girls in the Fellowship.

P.S. That was a descriptive and not a normative statement X-D
