The western world is going to have to change the way it measures history. We had Before Christ (BC) and anno Domini (AD)...and now we have After Sanity (AS).
I don't know when we should mark it's beginning, 2008? 2012? If we're not going to base it on Obama's election then at a minimum we're in the year 1 AS. The reasons are many, the Iran nuke deal, the Jenner formerly known as Bruce, Miley Cyrus in general...or maybe we'll just go with this:
The University of Tennessee in Knoxville is ditching gendered pronouns.What?!? No thanks...Get ZE hell outta here!According to the university, students and staff are being asked to ditch "he" and "she" to make the campus more gender-neutral.
Instead, the school's Office for Diversity and Inclusion...AKA one of a myriad of reasons why college tuition is WAY more expensive than a generation ago.
...wants everyone on campus to use all-inclusive words like "ze" to make it easier to include all genders...Within the last couple of years, Memphis Gay and Lesbian Community Center representative Leah Ford decided ze did not want to be labeled as she or he.Move over "sticks and stones," here comes "words"..."Ze, zim, zirs, people just choose what feels most comfortable to them," said Ford. Ford felt most comfortable when people used gender neutral pronouns.
"When I am asked what my pronouns are it makes me feel a lot more comfortable," said Ford.
A 2-question pop quiz to those "gender warriors" out there:
1. Please select the photo above where the man and woman humans look more comfortable.
2. Please select the statements that sound more "gender neutral":
Wow! She has a really nice rack! OR Wow! Ze has a really nice rack!
His prostate is giving him trouble again. OR Zirs prostate is giving him trouble again.
She's about to deliver a baby! OR Ze's about to deliver a baby!
............Someone stop the planet, I want to get off I want to kick these morons (a gender neutral term, but I won't wait for their thanks) off.

“SHIM”
Makes a lot more sense than Ze.
But . . the whole thing is insane.
Dumb asses I’m glad I graduated, so I don’t have to deal with this sh*t anymore.
I get the feeling there are like 50 of these idiots on every campus and the rest of the students either ignore them or ridicule them.
It will do nicely . Used to be youd rather die than suffer genital mutilation. Theres no help when its in your brain.
We live in a world in which we are tikd there are 56 different gender identities. If you thought there are two sexes, male and female, you are too limited and binary in your thinking.
And you will be short by 54 gender identities, if you can only identify male and female.
Newspeak.
>>”When I am asked what my pronouns are it makes me feel a lot more comfortable,” said Ford.
What’s with this self-serving “me” and “my” crap? These culture warriors need pronouns that are inclusive of all people, animals, plants, and rocks.
In fact, why do we even need nouns anymore. Nouns draw attention to specific things, to the detriment of other things.
And verbs! Verbs denote actions taken on things. Did those things give written and notarized permission? NO!
No more nouns. No more pronouns, except the all-inclusive one which should not be formed from any letters found in a human language (because that is racist or maybe nationalist). Definitely no more verbs because verbs are the same as RAPE!
Come to think of it, why do we even use language? Animals don’t get to use language. Neither to plants. How do they feel when they experience us communicating in human language and they can’t?
Thumbs!!! We have thumbs. Snails do not. We should not have thumbs because we use our thumbs use tools to affect Mother Earth.
Genderphobic hate speech
+1
Making up new words does not change or alter gender. Gender can not be changed and men and women are still he and she. Being a delusional liberal idiot does not change reality.
How about the old standby for the ones who go off the beaten path?
“It”.
What a bunch of mental midgets. Don’t they know that ze (are we supposed to capitalize it?!) is only a euphemism - substituting “softer” words for ones that their delicate sensitivities deem too harsh? The genders persist, they are only running away from the words we use to describe them.
Liberalism is a terminal mental disorder.
All I can say right now is FUZE
“I get the feeling there are like 50 of these idiots on every campus and the rest of the students either ignore them or ridicule them.”
Maybe, but these 50 per college end up as public school teachers/administrators (and college), reporters/producers in the media, editorial writers in major newspapers, and in all levels of government.
I’d rather be a not-ze—oh, wait a minute...
How ‘bout we call them Sh**head liberal # 1 and
Sh**head liberal # 2?
That's the way is was back in the early sixties, just a few crackpots talking nonsense, fifty years later they run all of the universities.
