| Topic | Do you think the term "Mansplaining" is sexist |
| Pogo_Marimo 04/09/17 4:06:00 PM #33: | Or, if you're really so deadset on maintaining the terminology, might I recommend another battle you can fight too? The term "negro" has been hijacked by racists to denigrate black people when, in reality, it's a very useful anthropological term (And root for other scientific teeminology--Like the taxon ethnic group "negroid"!) used by scientists for decades before its misuse became widespread. Or maybe, sometimes, possibly, words can be offensive regardless of their original intent, but that doesn't prevent us from communicating the same concept in different words that aren't offensive. --- // BEAUTY IS NOT LOVE - LOVE IS NOT MUSIC - MUSIC IS THE BEST - WISDOM IS THE DOMAIN OF THE WIZ--WHICH IS EXTINCT // http://www.last.fm/user/Pogo92 ...
