>when they use "she" instead of "he" as

>>9381356
I'm with you there and also feel the same way. I'm Swedish and would even prefer "hen" over "her" as the standard pronoun. It just sounds contrived af.

It sounds silly because 'they' is already commonly used as a neuter singuar pronoun.

good chart

Yeah you're just sexist

>>9381356
>Yeah i feel the same way, i actually think artificially modyfying language is counterproductive or useless at best

>>9381943
Who are you quoting?

>>9381372
This. There are better ways to avoid "problematic gendering" or whatever you want to call it.

>>9381356
why not just smash ZOG and bring back traditional, Roman style patriarchy. I'm getting really tired of this whole leftist cult of victimhood and weakness. It's aesthetically unpleasing and that's more than enough reason for me.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS MEME
why does every sperglord on here ask
>le whom are you quoting
every time you see someone using meme arrows?
He is obviously ""quoting"" his actions pr character, as to mock or ridicule him

I don't think I'm the sperglord here...

>>9381948
LMAO you guys.
I wasn't quoting/mocking anyone, the ">" was a typo. I sincerely think that modyfying language is counterproductive.

>>9382011
btw I'm screenshotting this brilliant exchange for the future generations.

>>9382010
Fuck i'm sorry it's just I see it everywhere
It's like people don't realize that meme arrows aren't exclusively for "quoting"

90% of thinkers whose thoughts are worth anything are and probably always have been men. That might change in the future, but for now that's what it is. I think that's why using 'she' feels weird. Women make up half the world population, but a much smaller portion of the worthwhile thinkers.

>>9381964
Even worse is the conservative cult of victimhood. Even when your side is winning you people can't ditch the persecution complex. Sad!

>>9381372
So is 'he'

Burned my ass when I was reading Bloom and he pulled this shit

>>9382138
she*

>>9382128
Did I touch a nerve?

>>9382138

Bloom was notorious for fucking his female students, so it isn't unusual he would think of generic readers as female.

>>9382546
damn he must have been a true uber beyond morality cuz when i fuck a student i feel guilty and paranoid for the rest of the semester

>>9381356
Because it is. The author honestly wants me to believe that "she" can use a number of different modeling techniques when programming in D. Unbelievable. Next thing you know they'll have a black on the cover.

>>9381991
It's because you are misusing the quoting function, which is intended for quoting the words of another.

>>9382126
They is more useful in telling the reader that the subject being discussed is either sexless or that the sex of the subject is unknown

I'd say that women can use 'she' as a generic pronoun while men should use 'he.'

When men do it it makes them look weak and submissive.
