>>If I recall my SAT Latin, the word’s origin has more to do with working with the hands than its does any gender reference.

And even more amusing is that Latin ‘manus’ is feminine.

Jan is a compromised POS

“in 2000, another representative was added to the list, Jan Schakowsky, the Democratic congresswoman from Illinois. Turkish agents started gathering information on her, and they found out that she was bisexual. So a Turkish agent struck up a relationship with her. When Jan Schakowsky’s mother died, the Turkish woman went to the funeral, hoping to exploit her vulnerability. They later were intimate in Schakowsky’s townhouse, which had been set up with recording devices and hidden cameras. They needed Schakowsky and her husband Robert Creamer to perform certain illegal operational facilitations for them in Illinois.”

Wait ‘til she finds out that the “sky” in her name, usually spelled “ski”, is masculine, meaning son. Schakow’s son.

“MANUS” IS A HAND IN LATIN. “TO MAKE” IS ‘FACTO.’ LIKE “MANUAL” TRANSMISSION, WHICH ONE SHIFTS WITH ONE’S HAND — MALE AND FEMALE ALIKE.

I knew a guy like her, he wrote the South African premier in the apartheid days ..asking him not to mention the word “Soweto” because it looked and sounded like “Sweato”...which would imply the minority folk who lived in that area were grimy and sweaty. Very lose connection as the elected(not sure anymore) demonrat in this news item.
Typical, u.s. taxpayer paid, demonrat rep. , deliberately lying.

Well, you can spell “jackass” with her name…and that plus about $7 will get you a cup off burned coffee from Starfux.

These people are deranged.

It’s from Latin “hand”.

Is she afraid of “person” which has “son” in it? What an idiot!

Movie made on a bet. Some business guy bet some other guy that he could make a movie for 16,000 bucks. Compared to other bad movies made for tens to hundreds of millions, it is a smashing success.
IMHO

That’s like saying any word that has ‘black’ in it is racist. How low on the IQ pole do you have to go?

I’m sure the general public realize that she is from the California of the Midwest and is not mentally stable.
