Scripps College, a private all-women’s college in Southern California, is giving students ten pronoun options to choose from in their student portal accounts — including “hu, hum, hus, himself,” “Just My Name Please,” and “None”
It’s not clear what the hell students who choose “None” are supposed to be called, especially since “Name Only” is another option. Are they (oops! I said “they!”) asking to not be spoken to at all? Because that sounds like a microaggression.
The other eight options are “E/Ey, Em, Eir/Eirs, Eirself/Emse,” “Per, Per, Per/Pers, Perself,” “Zi, Hir/Hirs Hirself,” “Ze, Zir, Zir/Zirs, Zirself,” “They, Them, Their/Theirs, Themse” (used as a singular pronoun) and — yes — the archaic “He, Him, His, Himself” or “Her, She, Hers, Herself.”
This list of pronouns, as well as a pronunciation guide for those insensitive bigots who don’t already know them by heart, was provided to the College Fix.
The students’ selections are given to professors. It’s not clear what kind of hell a professor might have to endure for accidentally using the wrong one — but it could be serious, especially considering that at least one student considers the options to be necessary protection from “institutionalized violence.” Yes — “violence”:
“One’s gender identity should not be something that causes them anxiety in their everyday lives,” junior Rachel Neuberg told The Student Life, the official college newspaper for the affiliated Claremont and Pomona Colleges.
“I hope that Scripps will continue to create a safe and comfortable place for its students, and that other colleges will take note so we can all work together to stop institutionalized violence,” she continued.
There is, however, an obvious problem with this system: What about the gender-fluid students who may change genders and pronouns throughout the year, or even perhaps throughout the day? I can’t imagine how traumatic (dangerous?) being pressured to choose just one might be.

Do you need any more proof that people like this have way too much free time?
They are the busy-bodies of SJW that C.S. Lewis recognized.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
Let us get rid of all pronouns. Reminds me of School House Rock Pronoun song, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koZFca8AkT0 “Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla”
how very xenophobic. What about other languages?!
Also are teachers THAT INCOMPETENT that proper language (English skills) are beyond their ability?
so we can all work together to stop institutionalized violence,
so its VIOLENCE to refer to anotHER.. as either he or she???
this is truly truly SAD stuff!
Is flousie a pronoun?
An all-Womyn’s College. Holy she-it.
ie we could isolate them from the rest of society....they’d simply cease to exist in short order...
That way the feminazis can keep the male chromosome out of the equation while pretending DoubleX is twice as good as 1X. Addressing individuals on a chromosomal level means those who want to pretend they are the opposite gender than nature intended are shit out of luck.

Great suggestion. I feel like I’m living on Planet X.
Yeah-and that ‘female’ radical is sooooooo female looking !!!! It would be offensive to a Muslim!!
Just the thought of them telling the Chinese to change it brings a laugh!!!
What a sheltered life I have had. 61 years old and no one has warned me about the violence caused by pronouns?
Scripps must be overpopulated with man hating dykes. These people are morons. The sad thing is they think they are the enlightened ones.
I was thinking more along the lines of "bimbo", "beetch", "whats-her-face", "dudette", "skank" or "skeezy ho".
I’ll go with sticks and stones.
