I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

Quick reminders about Greek mythology: if you're assigning Tumblr-specific labels to Greek mythology you need to go outside immediately.

Radflakes be all like "Political correctness doesn't stifle art!"

Then they attack a writer for something a character said as if it came out of their own mouth.

oh MAN i love parks and rec and amy poehler is a great actress and writer but she is honestly so shitty for making that blue ivy joke and is probably honestly just a crappy person in general

Well, I'm glad the people of tumblr are all fucking saints who have never done anything unsavory ever or currently do unsavory things that they currently think are perfectly reasonable.

We used to count black Americans as 3/5 of a person. For reparations, give them 5/3 of a vote.

I really hope this is satire.

If they're going to do that, then they should let citizens of Japanese descent completely decide the next election: they were interned for however many years during WWII, becoming nobodies, so, taking the inverse, they should have infinite voting power for a third of that time, which is just enough for one election.

Has anyone suggested they give their property back to a Native American tribe yet?

Anybody still demanding reparations for slavery in this day and age never suffered because of it.

I can only imagine what would happen if one of these morons tried to learn a gendered language.

You know, I personally dislike the idea of gendered language (whatever problems English has, it's at least free of that), but I have now decided it's worth it just for the hypothetical reaction UP though of.

Well, personally I just don't see the need to refer to pieces of metal as having a gender when there are other, probably simpler methods of identification that could be used. Then again, Finnish has no gendered grammatic structures so maybe my perspective on the matter is tainted.

Eh, I'm a fan of degendering language* but the male and female connectors convention seems perfectly effective for its purpose. I'm sure an alternative terminology could exist, but why bother? It's not like your connectors have a gender identity to care about mislabeling.

The "cisnormative!" argument might work if people could get together and agree on a set of words meaning "has a penis" and "has a vagina" that is not filled with complicated implications re: other aspects of biological sex, but no such words exist. Until we somehow get our act together and figure out proper finely-grained vocabulary for the relevant variations in biological sex, "male" and "female" really is the best we've got.

Also, now I have the mental image of walking into a hardware store and asking for a penis-to-vagina adapter.


*My native language is Spanish, which is gendered as fuck and really annoying if you're me.
