Sacramento Ca tried this shit 30 years ago, the Mayor Anne Rudin got laughed out of office.

I for one am proud to be living in a country that is leaving behind the horrible spectre of discriminatory language.
May we all live for the glorious day when a first year recipient of high school education learns proper lettering techniques. That day when a combatant against the spread of fire rescues a kitten that has fallen down a terrestrial orifice leading to the subterranean water systems. That day when an aquatic lifeform trapper and purveyor heads down to city hall to voice an opinion before the receiver of public concerns.
A bright future awaits mankind humanity sentient bipeds.

Nice job exposing the absurdity of the issue. :laugh:
Seriously, do wo
men...um fe
male....hmm, girls really feel like being equated to men is somehow bad, is it really important to be homogenized, rather than to be noted for their differences?
