- While you yutzs argue over this piddly little language issue, real people
- are working, studying, reading, writing and carrying on with their lives.
- In other words, ACCOMPLISHING something with their time.
-
- Arguing over gender neutral language is childish and theoretically
- unsophisticated. Any real rational thought immediately goes beyond
- langauge to meaning to conduct its reasoning (semiology).
-
- I believe that those who spend their time arguing over an issue like this
- in the name of feminism have no real concept of what feminism can
- accomplish when directed toward productive ends. Get a life!
