Spanish, French, etc. also have gender differences in the language. This idiot chose to study one such language, and now he's calling for changes in the language itself? The language represents thousands of years of given gender roles in the society from which it arose, and now wittle snowflake Donavan wants the language to conform to a fleeting new view of gender?

Sure, kid. Now go play in the street.

lol .. Spanish and French are a challenge to them because every word has a gender as you said. I can’t wait for them to try to change Taco to Tacx and quesadilla to quesadillx. It’s going to be great.

In Latin the gender of a word has little to do with actual gender or gender relativity. For example, the first word I learned in 9th grade Latin was nauta...sailor or mariner. It is a feminine noun despite the fact that few if any mariners were female.
