Word Up: Liberal Linguistic Lunacy

Word up: research, including numerous brain scans, shows that words can change our brain. Generally, conservatives are happier than liberals, and it’s likely that convoluted liberal linguistics and the mental contortions political correctness entails contribute to liberal delusions.

Under Nancy Pelosi’s misguided direction, the House proposed word changes to gender-specific roles. Mother and father are simply “parents,” and aunt and uncle are “parent siblings.” Seamen are “seafarers,” while niece and nephew are a “sibling’s child.” No wonder liberals are so confused and riddled with angst.

It’s hard to be more warped then Pelosi, but Biden’s budget proposal absurdly replaces “Mother” with “Birthing Person.” Thankfully, they didn’t try to rename “manhole” in their infrastructure proposal. Can you imagine falling in and getting stuck in a ….never mind?

Overall, more established female-gendered terms have a much more positive connotation than male labels. They induce compassionate communication that can change our brain structure.

Let’s start with mother and mom. When someone accomplishes a goal, maybe wins a sporting event or graduates, “they” usually acknowledge good ol’ mom. Proudly clutching their medal or certificate, they might exclaim, “I love you, mom.” Poor dad is often overlooked, though he probably worked his fingers to the bone to enable the victory.

On a grander scale there’s Mother Nature, because it’s not “birthing” nature that provides us sustenance. Mother Nature also connotes power, for what it giveth it can easily taketh away. Mother Earth herself sparkles through the dark void of space, tilting in a most peculiar way while orbiting our Sun

Mom, Ma, Mama are “nursery words” determined by nature to be easiest to pronounce (farthest front consonants with farthest back vowels). Worldwide, with some variation, this is how humans refer to their “birthing persons”.

The War on Biology (and Real Science) continues unabated.

Liberals— always creating new variations on insanity.

Abuse of language is part and parcel to abuse of power.

The left has a problem with the male/female binary, that nature has reached through millions of reproductive cycles. Sexual reproduction is well established and not going away.

words can change our brain.

In a rational society, a word is a symbol of an objective concept

...but Biden’s budget proposal absurdly replaces “Mother” with “Birthing Person.”

SHHHhhh!

Not so loud!

Catholics will make up another phrase that is not found in the Bible:

Birthing Person of GOD
