Do you get pissed when men named James get asked to be called Jim?

Or do you just get mad when people are in positions of prestige and authority and society dictates that we treat them with more respect and deference?

Who should have decided what her title was?

I'd hope so. How else where we supposed to know, if not by press reporting?

IT. DID. NOT. CHANGE.

IT.NEVER.WAS. CHAIRWOMAN.

IT.WAS. ALWAYS.CHAIR.OR. (LESS OFTEN). CHAIRMAN

She simply took the title that fit, rather than make up a new one.

The problem, you dolt, is that the title has always been, correctly, called the "Chair" and has been more common than "Chairman" in this context for two decades.

Additionally, if its not appropriate for the head of an organization to determine titles, then who do you think is the appropriate setter of corporate tables…

No, it has a lot to do with your comment. It's not arrogant that Janet Yellin wants to be referred to by the correct name of her position because its not some sort of Liberal Poltical Correctness that leads to the degendering of the title, its the Oxford English Dictionary and three hundred years of usage. It is even…

How is the a single similarity between those two? Chair is a shorter, more accurate, and ancient term. Sanitation Engineer is the title of a graduate school-educated professional or a humorous euphemism. No janitor has the job description of "sanitation engineer," the actual "newspeak" title of them is custodian,…

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term "Chair" has been used in this context since the 17th Century
1659 T. Burton Diary 23 Mar. (1828) IV. 243 The Chair behaves himself like a Busby amongst so many school-boys..and takes a little too much on him.

What do you suggest they do?

To be fair, having lived in a country where stray and (especially) feral dogs are common, they are a massive public health issue when it comes to spreading of disease and animal attacks. I don't begrudge Sochi exterminating strays anymore than I begrudge NYC for poisoning rats.

There are some classically cringe-worthy posts on that Facebook page. Much enjoy.

I read the full opinion on Westlaw. The appeals court goes out of their way to express that they were not taking the actual award into consideration, that this was a per se unfair trial, regardless of outcome because of the appearance of impropriety.

Tried to read, lost it at Red Dwarf. Thanks for turning my once so promising day into a Amazon Prime marathon.

Literally, we spend our entire lives ignoring imperatives such as food, drink, sleep, and sex except at the appropriate time. Its kind of the sacrifice we make when we enter into civilization. Is this urge so much stronger than the one your resist every day not to take someone else's lunch (an actual imperative)?

Well, obviously, number of taxes paid is irrelevant to societal value, but w/e.

How bad are you at poker, or addicted to viagra, for this to even be possible, let alone pleasurable?

I am a prolific friendzoner of women. My best friends have staged more than one intervention for me and I accused them of being Nice Girls (tm). They called me out on being a suspected illicit Jeezebeller and have been trying to find my posting name ever since. I wonder if this is where they will finally find it.

HI!

You don't think that it is kind of weird that the factors that you find dateable and friendable don't overlap? I mean, if you wanted to date them and they didn't reciprocate, why not reach out in actual, and unfeigned, friendship?

It is not trolling. My point is that we, as a society, do not trust minors to make rational, long-term choices because they are medically proven to be impulsive and unable to judge long term consequences. When it comes to something where the stakes are much higher on both sides (body anonymity on one side and a…

We can also just agree to call one side "Pro Abortion Restriction" and the other "Anti Abortion Restrictions"
