if you're unsure about someone's gender or are referring to a group
They got a point about not using boyfriend/girlfriend. "Partners" is much easier to refer to the group of people I have sex with every Saturday at the local dungeon.
Uhhh sweaty it’s partnex! The plural for of partners is degrading to either partner who may feel othered, and saying partner excludes your second partnex. These rules are very simple, I don’t understand why you can’t seem to follow them. BE 👏 BETTER 👏
Ya, my dad worked for them and so did most of the people I grew up around. They all join thinking they will be able to accomplish something only to find out how bureaucracy fucks everything.
He worked for in economics for farming co-ops trying to get small farmers into batches so they could purchase electricity and fuel at the discounted bulk rate that big commercial farms get.
To be fair, UN is the only thing in a lot of countries that is stopping people from going batshit crazy and start killing each other. They also provide food and medicine in war torn countries.
The first attempt was half-assed and not pursued with much enthusiasm. By the second attempt, smallpox had already been pretty much eradicated in the Americas, Europe, most of Asia and Oceania without the UN. It was only in third world shitholes that smallpox was still a thing, so they eliminated it in those countries. So they basically tried to eradicate it when it was already on its way out.
Even if you look at the places where the UN did intervene, they haven't actually accomplished much. I've been waiting for them to fix Cyprus and Lebanon for 50 years now.
Thank God there's a bunch of foreigners in Paris to teach me how the English language works. I don't actually know if they're in Paris, I clicked their link to https://unwomen.org/en and got a 404 error, presumably because they don't have anyone who knows how to speak English.
This is not the first time the UN has tried this. The "New World Information and Communication Order" was proposed in the 1970s-80s. Third world dictators were getting their feelings hurt by bad press, so they wanted the UN to censor the media and only allow positive stories about them. You can guess how far that went.
Yea at least over here we can make nonsense gender neutral words by changing our language to include an x randomly. They need to get busy dismantling the patriarchy by reworking their entire conversational infrastructure by getting rid of masculine and feminine words.
Changing "businessman" to "representative" is dumb
I've seen this in subtitles for k-dramas. I'm not sure where it crept in from, but given where the English-speaking audience for them is, I'm guessing it's SE Asia. I don't think it's even meant to be political, it's just some way of trying to map English words onto vocabulary used in Asia.
Calling someone a rep is shorthand for "salesperson". Otherwise it's "employee" or potentially "corporate" depending on their level of autonomy in being an unhelpful external party. I very rarely come across "businessman" beyond press articles where it's used to conjure an archetype. So more "representative" is just a shitty replacement that causes collisions with established meanings rather than "businessman" being a term worth saving
It's so nice to see your organization take a break from their endless Jеw-hatred to focus on a really important problem. Thank you. - Prof. Dr. Gad Saad (He/Him)
Masculine nouns and pronouns are the correct thing to use when referring to mixed genders or someone of unknown gender in virtually every Indo-European language. I’m not aware of any where that isn’t the case.
