    No it’s like it was based on those definitions “idea” which defined both were persons/human beings. Both had voices and intellect.
    Since, there were differences in those persons/human beings. Other words were needed. Man/Woman. Male/Female.
    The problem came about when some superior minded men chose not to allow those persons/human beings to work or vote.
    There were women who knew that they were equal persons/human beings and they eventually solved those problems for themselves.
    Thanks to The First Suffragettes.

    While the term suffragist includes all the activists who have fought for the right to vote, particularly for women, suffragette usually refers specifically to the activists in the US and UK. The word was coined by a "Daily Mail" journalist, who used it in a derogatory way, only to have it embraced by the activists. The tactics of the suffragettes were controversial, and sometimes included arson and property damage. American and British women gained the right to vote in the early 1900s.


    Please Note: American and British Women gained the vote in the early 1900s.

    This thread seems rather ironic.

    "I'm offended, because other's are offended". Seems to be the theme.

    How important is a pronoun?

    https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/pronoun

    Comment: A pronoun is a word that's used in place of a noun or noun phrase, like “he,” “she,” or “it,” in place of “Dusty,” “Carol,” or “the lemur.”

    Comment: The word pronoun originally comes from the Latin pronomen, which broken down means "for" or "in place of" and "name." The pronoun is a "stand-in" word for another noun, so you can use pronouns instead of repeating someone's name: "Charley went to the store and to Charley's office and then back to Charley's house" becomes "Charley went to the store and to his office and then back to his house."


    Pronoun~ 1. noun A function word that is used in place of a noun or noun phrase.

    That seems the be the general gist of it thus far, none of them can actually explain why they are against the words recommended by Stanford other than they “hate woke”

    Going as far to say female emergency professionals don’t have pronouns and instead they are just called “heroes”.

    It’s strange

    Old age perhaps?
    The old, that's not how it was when I was a kid.
