Clearly Brookline Town Meeting member Michael Burstein wants the entire English-speaking world to know that he’s an idiot.

To anyone unfamiliar with Brookline: the Tank Commander got his start in politics in Brookline.

Ah, “Counciltwit” ... there’s a new term I could back. The women on the council could optionally substitute an 'a' for that last 'i' if they'd prefer. (Can't have any of that toxic masculinity and patriarchy goin' on, ya know.)

That’s ignorance of the English language. “Men” just means human beings and includes females. “Women” refers to females only.
So if they want to change the name of this august body, how about “Board of Ignoramuses”?

What's wrong with Selectpeep and Selectpeeps?
MAN-kind is DE-evolving rapidly. I am not being sarcastic. The liberal species is batshit crazy and the conservative just stares at them.

The politically correct term is “humankind”. While mankind is still used it’s being replaced by humankind.

Why don’t they call them “Pink Pussies” and give them each a pink pussy hat as a uniform?
