As we trundle like a battered drunken beast into the gloom and stench of the progressive new world order, it is important to know when definitions change or words come in and out of favor.
Nothing ruins a Tuesday morning like a herd of masked Karens slowing your roll, angry eyes visible above their rainbow masks because you said the latest prohibited word or failed to grasp any nuance added to its orbit while you were asleep.
The goal is to make you so fearful of writing or speaking that they win every argument by your absence. Those who do dare get a visit from the street thugs in Antifa, BLM, or any number of progressive activist groups, including the Sununu wing of the Republican party. A group that will begrudgingly pass laws against teachers bullying children into thinking they are racists incapable of redemption but will never enforce them.
Sorry, I’m drifting. Words.
A college student newspaper has issued a new advisory. A fatwa, if you like. When talking about women, the word female is problematic.
The word allegedly is “generally used to preface negative attributes about women,” the paper says, and is a way “to strip [them] of their personhood” and “reduce them to a biological name.”
Worse, the term reinforces outdated notions of gender such as the “traditional binary.” Words like “female” may seem “trivial,” the editors say, but it is crucial — crucial! — that people take care in how they speak … and to “consistently check [their] implicit biases.”
Is it because the word female has the word male in it? I’m no expert but the words women and woman and men and man in them. If you’re going to get all douchey about the patriarchal undertones and their repressive effects, shouldn’t you attempt to be consistent?
And not to slow your roll, but personhood has the word “son” in it, you bigots.
I can’t believe how insensitive you are to whatever it is a woman is, since based on your own worldview, there is no way to determine who is or is not a woman at any given moment. In what passes for your minds were not even allowed to not know what we don’t know.
A man can be a woman, as can his son. They can compete in women’s sports, use their bathrooms, and wander naked in their locker rooms. Doesn’t that make the word female more relevant now than at any point in your pointy-headed history?
A Female is a guy who thinks or says he’s a girl, and according to almost any reading of the donkey entrails, that makes him more a woman than the woman who had the unfortunate luck to be born without a penis.
Those females are higher up on the progressive totem pole than actual women.
I would agree that this is problematic. What if that woman who is a man saying he is a woman wants to be referred to as female instead of male? Who is taking responsibility for the emotional harm to his personhood?
Your response to that will be to call me names, but what do they mean? They could mean anything, but one thing is certain: they mean nothing to me coming from that crowd.
