- alan@ninja.osf.org (Alan Hamilton) gives a long glossary...
-
- I must admit, I hate this sort of thing. Any attempt at this type of
- glossary usually ends up obfuscating instead of clarifying. Take the
- entry for "woman, womyn" which defines a woman as either a female
- human or a human who thinks of him/herself as female. Well, I'm
- sorry, but that's just not how it is. We will eventually render all
- the words in English meaningless if we keep this up.
-
- Please, let's forget it! Who cares what something/someone is called?
- Just because I like to wear dresses doesn't mean I'm politically correct :-)
- I can't stand this "womyn" business. :-)
-
- Dawn (NOT a woman.)
