University wants everyone to use 'gender inclusive' pronouns...

I'm guessing an Ohio State football forum.

Go Blue!

Hahahahaha... Now that's funny ***** right there.

We could call everybody Pat.

Pat speaks in a nasal voice which is much louder than everyone else's whom Pat is ... The name "Pat" can be short for "Patricia", a female name, or "Patrick", a male name. .... Pat says, "We put it on together. .... Call her Patrick, call him Patricia.

Mo-rons.....

I say we start wearing kilts to work and suddenly need to work using ladders... See how long it takes for a White Heterosexual Male to get call in the office for being inappropriate, then remind them that cross-dressers are held to the same dress code so put up or shut up...

EDIT: I have several friends whom are LGBT & most of them are just as confused about these being "needed" as we are.

I am a traditionalist. We don't need new words we have them already. He was gender inclusive at one time and now it shall rise again! For those thar don't know, in old English, there was brothers, sisters AND brethren. Brethren is a gender inclusive term.

There. Do you need any other pronouns?

Most other languages have a neuter gender for nouns perhaps we need to invent a neuter gender in English to match the people who speak it. Personally, I saw just eliminate the feminine nouns and make allthe masculine pronouns neuter to match the male population today. Then we can, for once, remove words from the Oxford dictionary.

Close to 240 years, not too bad for an empire. But with all the new and "special" little snowflakes that keep appearing, we're not gonna have enough snow moving equipment to keep up with the drifting!

Remember that saying: what this generation tolerates, the next embraces. This is just part of the societal evolution many embrace. I wonder what will be next...

I'm not sure but it's a safe bet that when Jared Fogel gets out of the bighouse he'll have an opportunity as a spokesman again.

I am sure. So many little darlings out there that need the firm hand of an older man to guide them in life.

I'm with Houghmade - everyone has an *******. So, that is my new gender-neutral term.

Either that, or we stick with the pre-existing gender neutral term of "it".

I'm sorry, but this is retarded. As in seriously mentally deficient.

How many tens of thousands are they charging per year for this form of brainwashing? It appears that UofT's budget needs a serious review by the legislature.

What pronoun will ISIS use when it chops off said buggers' heads?

I think "infidel" is already gender neutral. So the Muslims are actually way out ahead of us on this one.

No doubt there's some ripe budget pruning needed but if you think UT is a pioneer in college promotion of this or flying it solo, I'm betting you'd (the royal "you'd") be surprised. This administrator probably still has Californis tags on his/her/ze/ce/xe/it car.

" OLD ENGLISH " is what I heard from the chic swimming in the tub late last night also.. She was yelling to me it would fix all this sillyness.

I have to wonder what the job of vice chancellor of diversity and inclusion pays? Sounds like at least $250K per year.

I used to see "womyn" to replace "woman" and "women" back in the early 1990s. Had to get the partriarchal oppression outta the words, naturally.

I assume he/she/it only keeps $70,000, and distributes the rest evenly among his/hers/its c-workers. Just to be "fair".

Will U of T ban the teaching of romance languages? I mean, all the masculine and feminine nouns preceded by el and la has to be deeply offensive.

Are the responses to your ad on fetlife like this.
Daddy ,.,., Daddy ??? Is that you Daddy ?
I was a bad girl today Daddy...

The scary thought is that these people are perfectly serious about this nonsense.

This was my exact thought when going through the thread! Crazy people!
