in thread How many man-hours would you estimate you have invested in learning Perl?
it seemed clear to me that the original joke was against feminists
- Do all feminists make that mistake about gender-specific terminology?
Obviously not.
- Have some non-feminists -- civil government and corporate Public Relations bods with no particular feminist sympathies or antagonism - ever been guilty of trying to 'gender-wash' their public communications for the (mostly undue) fear of antagonising 50% of the voting public.
I'm sure a well-crafted search could turn up numerous examples.
- Have some people, purporting to be 'feminist', so completely misunderstood the issues around gender specificity in everyday language that they do the movement a disservice by rendering the real issue 'faintly ludicrous' by their misapplications.
You bet your sweet bippy.
Three possible targets; one can't be, the other two could.
The rest of your post is so ambiguous that I cannot decide which posts you are targeting as trollism; and which you are 'supporting'; but either way, over-simplified, and ill-thought through 'conclusions' are what started this mess in the first place.
With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
