It’s fucking hilarious that you went from berating other people because you find pronouns confusing, to saying something like “Just fucking realize that life isn’t all about you.”

I don’t need my manhood validated by others (I mean, it is nice, but I don’t need it on the internet, that’s for sure.). What I do need is the clearest pronouns possible, as the English language already has many holes.

When you assume that they means both Tom and Aaron you are doing a disservice to Tom, because Tom likes to be called “they,” and they don’t like when people awkwardly use their name time and time again when one would otherwise have said he or she.

Dude, don’t date 18 year olds

Thats like buying a CD to go ritually stomp on it in the parking lot

I identify as someone who only replied once. Please stop projecting your idea of who you want me to be onto me. I am not a box to be checked. I am a single reply-er, I can feel it in my heart. If you disagree, that means you are a bully.

No, I identify as a person with no phobias. Please be respectful of my identity and how I feel.

That is ironic because you are upset about me being upset about pronouns. Do you understand what irony is? It is like when someone says “hey you are upset about such a small thing! How silly! I am upset about that!”

While trolling can be a worthwhile endeavor, I must point out that you are missing out on one of the more important accomplishments of modern civilization: the half plus seven rule.

No, I identify as a good person with no prejudices or faults. Please respect my identity. Thank you

The operative distinction is life experience.

Also, friendly reminder that not all men have penises and not all people with penises are men. :)

The general rule is half plus 7

A small, malnutritioned child made your phone because tiny fingers are better for it than big fingers.

I never said that power imbalances were wrong, just that they should be considered inappropriate/harmful in certain relationships. We should protect against abuse in society.

I didn’t say that anyone was smarter. I said that the teacher has intellectual advantages (theory vs. practice), and institutional advantages.

Don’t they get to decide who runs under their banner or not?

These “progressive” company policies are actually an attempt to shift the blame to the employees instead of creating real effective policies
