Words for Leaders

Anybody that calls anybody else a snowflake, no matter how silly the thing was the other person said ( while a lot of times there is a genuinly good point in there, but yea there are also persons that make an issue of absolutely everything) is done in my book. It shows more about the character of the person that calls someone that, and often those personalities are rather ugly..

same with the you must be fun at parties, often the original comment is actually interesting and has a good point, but yea, sometimes quite boring or a bit too anal/nitpicking. But why the need to trash somebody just because you found their remark boring. That is soo childish, sadly often it is adults making these remarks...

Does "inclusive language" really make that much of a difference? I agree that it makes people feel more welcome and able to participate, but as a general rule small changes lead to small effects.

If the Dotard in Chief can't do it by himself his allies in Congress, the media, and the Kremlin should be able to get it done.

Well a woman can become chairperson as well, don't you think? What's the problem with making language less sexist? And most of the time it is abbreviated as chair anyway.

because chairman wasnt sexist. The term man means person as in both genders and not specificially male.

It was an unecessary change that create more sexism than it ever solved. The same applies to sportsman.

It would be life everyone demanding we change woman because it has the word man in it.

"Ghengis Khan was the ruler of the empire that destroyed the Ottomans." Um, what? Genghis Khan died in 1227, and the Ottoman Empire (not really an empire at that point, but the Ottoman polity) was founded in 1299. Perhaps you're thinking of the Timurid invasion of Anatolia and the defeat of the Ottomans at Ankara in 1402? Timur claimed descent from Genghis Khan, but his empire was a new one, and his defeat of the Ottomans was a setback for them, but didn't stop them from capturing Constantinople just half a century later and going on to form one of the world's largest empires, so they certainly weren't destroyed by Timur. The Ottoman Empire didn't fall until 1922. Incidentally, the Ottoman rulers used many titles including Caliph (Khalifa), Sultan, Padishah, Hakan (Khagan, or Khan of Khans) and Caesar.

You do realize the Ottoman Empire was around until ww1, where it was defeated by the allied powers. I didn’t realize the genghis khan ruled every allied nation in ww1.

but i didn't need to know that

Why is it any more ridiculous than calling someone "chairman"? In both cases, "chair" represents the position being held, "man" just specifies that it's a person doing it, which really can be kind of assumed.
