I noticed that a small drop of insanity can spread like oil on a still pond. A few years ago some certifiably insane people in a few universities started promoting the use of personal pronouns tailor-made for the individual’s evanescent sexual fantasies. Universities started posting sample pronouns on their websites, ranging from “he” to “zes” or some such thing.
Rather than being forgotten in the dustbin of history, as all insane ideas need to be, this captured the minds of the “woke” crowd and it spread like dandelions on your new lawn. The White House now promotes the use of individual pronouns on its website.
I know that readers of Free Republic are the last bastion of sanity. They have uniformly rejected this nonsense.
The English language has become what it is without the help of any controlling authority. It moved from “thee” and “thou” to “you” and “yours” without anyone mandating anything - with due respect to all those English teachers who have tried to get people to say “whom did you see?” instead of “who did you see?”
They are talking about third-person pronouns. They are used in speaking about a person, not in speaking to him/her. The pronoun used when speaking to a person is “you,” and they aren’t planning to change that one. They’re targeting he, she, his, her, him, hers because they have a gender.
The insane left is obsessed with gender and sex. Has something to do with the words “Male and Female He created them.”
Sane ideas are getting hard to find these days. Too many insane ideas swarming around them and babbling for attention. And they get attention. Far too much attention.
Isn't it insane?
And the sad truth of it is that it has invaded our military, whose job it is to defend our country.
How can a soldier defend our country when he can't figure out what sex he is or what pronouns to use?
