Still classified as member under his name.Didn't the OP get banned? Sometimes when these old threads pop up, it is a good laugh.
Sorry, I was replying to OP. Taking issue with men wearing dresses or whatever his idea of dying masculinity is, is what I was referring to, specifically.Just what has no impact on ones life. Be specific so we know what you're refering to or at least reply to a previous post so we know.
Careful, your ignorant bigotry is showing.
Old, for sure. The thing is, so many of these views reflect heavily in the past. So worried about what might be around the corner. Sounds simular to all the white replacement crap going around. Book burning simply because you are a group trying to promote your way if thinking and everyone else is wrong. You try to crap on things that have been around for all of time. Just not so much in the open. When it was hidden it was easy to ignore or refuse the belief of it's existance. That all has changed.Fastpitch you managed to associate an opposite view to book burning books etc without even stating your views and definitely without defending your point. You are basically just shouting "you are old and wrong".
I think historically it's to avoid having to say or write and repeat 'he or she' or 'that person'I will never understand why people use "they" to refer to one person. That word exists for a reason and its function is to designate 2 or more people. Using it in that way just makes everyone confused. Imagine how an Indonesian would react if you started saying mereka instead of dia (although they are lucky having just one word (dia) for he/she/it/any gender).
It's a two way street. There is indoctrination, discrimination, denigration and various other trash behavior from both sides. To paraphrase the song, 'clowns to the left, jokers to the right'.Shouldn't be too long now before the book burnings and record smashing starts. So many living in the past trying to hold on to the things they once could sweep under the rug of it doesn't exist. Once it got some light, their eyes started burning or something.
Now that you are growing old, maybe time to grow up. Nobody is forcing themselves on others, trying to indoctrinate others to follow what they feel, or deminish anyone else's roll in society. It's all in your head or for some the politics they follow.
"They" as gender-neutral 3rd person singular is absolutely proper, correct, and in common everyday usage, and has been for longer than any of us have been alive.I will never understand why people use "they" to refer to one person. That word exists for a reason and its function is to designate 2 or more people. Using it in that way just makes everyone confused. Imagine how an Indonesian would react if you started saying mereka instead of dia (although they are lucky having just one word (dia) for he/she/it/any gender).
