So, we can still refer to the guy who thought up this idea as an a$$hole

"California city set to ban gendered words like 'manhole' and 'manpower'".

Instead of “he” and “she,” the city will use “they” and “them.”
So "he" becomes "they" and "she" becomes "them".
If the old grammar rules still apply to those words, it means that males will always be subjective and females will always be objective.
Shouldn't that be the other way round?

I hope it was some guy who got it started on an "I bet you can't!" sort of thing.
Next up, banning the silent killer, di-hydrogen monoxide!
It's for The Children!

No, girls can be assholes. I wondered about this a bunch of years ago, when the word bitch got to be a compliment.

I thought, "No, she's just an asshole."

Maybe I was helping the Cause though. Even if you can't punch a female asshole in the mouth. Yet.

What I want to know is, will they just remove these words from the dictionary? If you can't use'em, why have'em in the dictionary?

With the direction leftists have this world headed, eventually, the only two words left in the dictionary will be f*#k and you. Combined as one entry.

Rather than a buy, I'd bet all this gender garbage was thought up by some sour, shriveled up feminist harpy.

That would be some credentialed sour, shriveled up feminist harpy, straight off the UC Berzerkeley campus.

Actually, the only thing surprising is that Berkeley hasn't already done this.
