This "grammatical quirk" is present in any Indo-European langauge, I believe. I wonder what rate of frustration they'd be in, once they spoke Russian, in which verbs conjugate by gender, making a speaker to indicate whether he/she is male or female.

French and other languages do that as well.

I just wish these faggots would quit screwing the language, too.

In Chinese they basically don’t have pronouns so they use the word “he” for all genders. It makes it interesting when listening to a native Chinese speak English. They interchange “he” and “she” in their speech and, generally, have no idea they are doing it.

We already have a gender neutral pronoun, “It”.

So now it’s a “grammatical quirk”! There is no hope for these people.

You can hardly find a news story these days that accommodates liberals that doesn't fit well in the semi-serious or satire category.

This is more proof that it's impossible to embarrass liberals. The more their track flies beyond the orbit of Pluto, the more they act as though it's normal.

Are they out of their minds? Are actual males and females going the way of the dodo bird, to be replaced by transgender confused things? I think that would be the total end of humanity, replaced by confused weirdos.

This proposal is not bad. I think we can accept it.
