Have a nice day.

Anthropologists changed the meaning of gender to refer only to the societal role and not biological sex. Not just from people using it that way, but from scientists who study humans. They needed that word because many societies have gender roles that aren’t strictly tied to sex.
i will have a terrible day, you can’t tell me what to do.

Haha, it was a well-wishing, short for ‘I hope you have a nice day,’ not a command. Have a nice day.

I can’t necessarily make a nice day happen for you, I just hope your day goes well to the extent it can.
