This is what is coming post SSM. It isn't enough to simply coexist or be tolerant they intend to transform society and not just in Sweden. This pernicious roots are already taking hold here with teaching grade schoolers about multiple genders and encouraging kids to participate in same sex experimentation.

They can use any wordings they want, but when it comes to stuff like electric and plumbing, there will always be a male and female fitting or plug.

You’ve GOT to be kidding me. HEN?

Please.

[Paine in the Neck]

In Scotland, ‘hen’ is a woman - vocative term for a woman (e.g. ‘It’s aw richt, hen’), or a general term of endearment for anyone.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

But the ever-progressive nation of Sweden has introduced a new gender-neutral pronoun—hen (neither the masculine han nor the feminine hon)—into its official National Encyclopedia.

In other news, Swedish scientists say they have discovered a new number between 4 and 5. They will call it "bleen".

Making it harder to know what the other person is talking about is “improving” the language?

Um... no

[9YearLurker]

Is this not more or less what ‘one’ as a pronoun has long offered in the English language?

[TomGuy]

Libs tried a similar thing in English several decades ago. It was a combo of he+she, him+her, etc. The resulting new preferred pronouns were about as ridiculous as the Swedish example.

Needless to say, the new preferred pronouns never got much traction. That was about the time MS or Ms or Ms. or Mz came into existence. [Is that still used?]

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

So does that mean that the Swedish Bikini Team could be all dudes? Stop the world, I want to get off.

[TomGuy]

feminine hon

Femi-nazi's would not allow that!

[BwanaNdege]

I want to know what the Swedish Roosters have to say about all this.

[jpsb]

Sweden where they made it unPC for a man to stand while peeing. The effort to make standing and peeing illegal thankfully failed. I wonder how many men in Sweden were brow beaten into sitting and peeing?

[rockrr]

We’ve had one of those for a while now - “it”. They’re welcome to borrow ours.

[Bubba_Leroy]

I believe that this acronym is appropriate:

She
He
It, or
Transgendered.

[Chode]

that rumbling you hear is the collective souls of the Vikings rolling over in their graves

[JohnBovenmyer]

Gives a new meaning to ‘henpecked.’

[D_Idaho]

And so Newspeak marches on. The goal, of course is to make it impossible to express a non-PC thought because the language simply won’t be there. Think about it. If a child is taught that there is only the single word “hen” available to use in speaking and writing, the distinction between the sexes will simply melt away. I don’t see anything good coming from this.

[longtermmemmory]

someone should tell them “hen” is female chicken.

Sweeden, the land of the female chicken.

let the jokes and ridicule commence....

[MestaMachine]

Hens are female all the time every time. Roosters would not exist without them.

[Boogieman]

I’ve been doing something similar in English myself. If I don’t know whether it’s a she, a he, or an it, I combine the pronouns and call them a She-He-IT (say it real fast).

Contemporaniously, Saab will soon be reborn as an electric car company.
