You raise a good point. Both her and hers would be correct, depending on the word order of the sentence. You could "that is his house, that is her house", or you could say "that house is his, that house is hers". Both work

A comment here was attributed to me but I do not remember writing it. It used American English, which is not the dialect of English that I speak and used a colloquialism that I would not use. It is possible that I wrote it in response to an almost identical comment by someone else that has since been deleted, in an attempt to point out their hypocrisy. Anyway it is gone now.

Dominator / dominatrix uses the same "logic" as the aviator/aviatrix, so it doesn't really bring anything new. Just Dom / Domme might work, but as Yesitall says it might choke some ultrapc people and some feel it's not appropriate for children as well.

It's a Nordic thing - men practiced war magic, like enchanting swords and berserking and whatnot, and women practiced hearth and weaving magic. A warlock was a man who practiced women's magic. It was considered a pejorative term for a man who couldn't fight, or didn't act manly.

Pretty sure that's not true. Warlock comes from an Old English word for oath-breaker. It was only later used in Scotland as the male equivalent of a witch - someone who made a deal with the Devil. (and thus broke their baptismal oaths)

You might have be thinking of the Old Norse word varð-lokkur (caller of spirits), but the Oxford English Dictionary doesn't accept that etymology, and I've never seen it used as a pejorative.

For all the people complaining that they want alternative spellings accepted (or perhaps that should be excepted): If I add 1+1 & say the answer is 3, is that acceptable? After all, 3 is almost 2, right? Sheesh! If you're not sure how to spell something, open another tab & type the word you're using into the search box. Nine times out of ten you'll get the correct spelling to pop up w/o even needing to find an online dictionary.

The problem with that logic is that math facts don't change but spellings do. Also math facts are the same in any language. Language is fluid, there are different translations, spellings change over time, etc. I agree that some of the requests are "out there" but asking for acceptance of things such as labour for labor or proper names in different languages is not unreasonable. Who can say only one way is correct in those instances, regardless of what Google says?

The existence of gendered words does not in itself constitute gender inequality, but it is not hard to see how it is possible for the fact that there are these sorts of words to make unconscious sexism easier. @divant, there are good reasons to believe this sort of thing that don't involve transgender or gender-neutral people. Imagine if every time you were referred to and quite a large proportion of the time you were described the speaker implicitly stated how tall you were. You would be entirely justified in thinking it should not be the case. And you wouldn't agree with someone saying "I don't want to deny my tallness (or shortness or medium-height, depending on your height). It doesn't mean we're not height-equal. Gimme a break!" and then making some comment about the rarity of height-neutral people. I think Elan has a strong point, although how this might come about is beyond me unless we stop speaking English.

1. In the United States and most Western countries, we actually have achieved gender equality. If anything women are substantially more privileged than men at this point. But legally and in terms of opportunity we are already and have been at full gender equality.

2. Even if we weren't, gendered words would have nothing to do with that.

3. The fact that people are confused in to thinking that it might have something to do with it is part of why so many out there are still angry about male privilege and the patriarchy when their rage is unnecessary, misguided, and ultimately counter-productive.

If you want to know the sorts of things that actually contribute toward real gender inequality you can talk to me sometime about the six years I spent living in Saudi Arabia, a country full of women who are treated as property but casually thrown under the bus by Western "feminists" all the time in the name of cultural sensitivity.

I heard on the radio last month that one percent of investment bankers are women, and that even less than one percent of investment decisions (or was it dollars) made by investment bankers are investments in female owned companies. If you’re a female seeking investments in your business, a female investment banker ... or perhaps a member of other groups like women in tech, or women in Missouri, .... you may not be ready to concede equality yet, even if you’re not claiming oppression akin to that Saudi Arabian women endure.

equality of opportunity does not translate into equality of outcomes. Fewer women WANT to be investment bankers. We should EXPECT to see a tiny percentage of female investment bankers. If we start seeing a 50/50 parity, that would mean something in the system was broken and unequal. In the same way that Harvard now discriminates against Asian applicants because they get too many of them, and many many many industries and institutions now discriminate, openly and unashamedly, against "white" men. Which is awful. But commonplace. And they're trying to force women in to certain jobs and positions that most of them don't even want. Being a CEO or politician doesn't mean you are privileged. It probably means you are a psychopath. Those are the sorts of people who excel at those jobs. And more men suffer from psychopathy than women. Also men have more pressure to succeed and be financially independent because they are seen as valueless to potential mates if they do not.

"Success" can be a burden. Is all you want out of life to make money? Or do you want to be happy, content, and have all your basic needs met? If you want to see a really good indication of privilege you ought to look at these 3 metrics:

1. suicide success rate

2. homelessness rate

3. how many right swipes you get on Tinder

not salary. not representation in Congress. The former represents pressure to be self-sufficient, increased stress, and often isolation and depression. The latter represents like I said psychopathy or narcissism.

But the 3 metrics I gave above are perfect for painting a whole picture of just how privileged an individual is in a society in terms of how well their basic needs are being met. And, incidentally, taken together these 3 metrics would show that gays and especially transgender people are at the bottom of the privilege list. Some minorities or disabled also suffer in one or two areas. But women in the US are on top of all 3 lists.

If you want to port my metrics to Saudi Arabia, women there are much more likely to commit suicide than men, they are also much more likely to be homeless, and if one of them gets on Tinder they are as likely to be murdered by their own family as they are to find a date.

This is so cringe. Seriously? Right swipes on Tinder? Nothing makes you sound like an incel quite like saying women have achieved equality because men might express sexual attraction on a dating app. And using “suicide completion” is cherry picking; Western men are statistically more likely to use final means in an attempt than women for societal and cultural reasons that are likely very nuanced. It’s also laughable to say “success” isn’t a good indicator of equality… yeah, I’d think most women would want options and influence more than being swipable on Tinder. Anyway, your reasoning is all based on just your general hunches of the world, which are based only on how YOU feel about your own life experiences. The UN ranks the US 46th on the Gender Inequality Index… you know, based on empirical data and not general hunches, so even your argument that the US has equality seems pretty easy to disprove.

I think Kal is right on the money with his comments here. You can't judge equality by outcome based statistics. It doesn't reveal discrimination because you can't separate out the desire for those roles by each gender.

I hadn't played this game since Aug of 2016 so I thought it was time to read through the comments looking for the person that went there because there is always at least one. You know you have no real problems and have reached true equality when THIS is your fight. If only the modern feminist knew what inequality really was we wouldn't have to hear about butchering words that have been around for centuries to appease a small group of social justice warriors.

Gender equality, what does that even mean? Gender based words are a way to be specific about what you are talking about. The more we "cancel" words that offend people, the more confusing it will be to have a conversation as we won't be able to use specific details to be clear.

I agree, this is strange to me; female comedians are comedians who are female. A comedienne is a (French) actress, however of course in English actresses are no longer actresses, they are actors. So a comedienne is a (French) actor who is female.

Some of these are outdated, such as comedienne. All people who perform stand-up comedy are called comedians now - gender is irrelevant. Same goes for waiter, hero and actor. You don't have actor/actress on this quiz, but perhaps you could remove some of these as a sign of the times?

I've seen actresses called actors frequently now, but I thought waiter/waitress was simply being abandoned in favor of server, and steward/stewardess dropped for flight attendant. Police man/woman -> police officer. Fireman/woman -> fire fighter. Though I've got no problem with gendered job titles, the differences in human gender should be celebrated not ignored, even while full legal equality should be guaranteed.

Lovely quiz, delightfully anachronistic, I must say. Every time I hear the word "headmistress," I am reminded of a funny bit from Roald Dahl's "Matilda." A little boy responds to the nasty lady who runs the school, saying, "Dash it all, Headmistress!" Meanwhile, "fishwife!" So many times after the conclusion of a parent-teacher conference with a particularly nasty mother, I'd see her out, smiling on the outside; on the way back to my desk, I'd be thinking along the lines of, "Farewell, fishwife!"
