Re: Dumb opinions

But why would they do that? "S/he" is just a word. It means what society imparts upon it.

"She" in a vacuum means fuck all. What your society decides a "woman" is what gets shoehorned through the collective unconscious onto that term.

If someone "found" a gendered pronoun but didn't have the gendered tropes attached to it, in their mind, it wouldn't feel like anything at all. On it's own it's an aspirated consonant and a vowel.

It sounds like you're also thinking that gender should be abolished?

Otherwise, someone who identifies as woman/wants to, might read "she" as a pronoun for "women" and identify with it. It's exactly what happens nowadays with transgender people, who see something/feel like they identify with something.

Taking away the pronouns won't do anything unless gender is abolished.

Re: Dumb opinions

It'd make life easier. You wouldn't have to fuss about pronouns when first encountering someone. And there are languages that don't have them - some of which, I might add, belong to cultures with extremely high level of gender equality. There are scads of studies that demonstrate that words do affect the way we think, right down to our ability to recognize differences in shades.

So "won't do anything" is obviously false - I think you mean "won't complete eliminate the problem"? Which, well, no. People are shitheads. We love to use our differences as a way to make ourselves feel superior to others.

It's either no gendered pronouns or we go full Tumblr and create a pronoun for people who don't give a fuck and want to opt out of the entire shitshow that is sex-linked gender performance. People could opt in if it felt important to them and others could just be male/female/intersex attack helicopters.

Where can I sign up for attack helicopter gender? Sounds rad, man.
