Why do I wish I was still in college?
Because of this –
DC: The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has issued an online guide which instructs students to use an exotic set of pronouns to refer to students and professors who refuse to admit they are either males or females.
The guide offers a complex slew of pronouns including “zie,” “zim,” “faerself,” “verself,” “terself” and “xemself.”
“Some people call these ‘female/feminine’ and ‘male/masculine’ pronouns, but many avoid these labels because, for example, not everyone who uses he feels like a “male’ or ‘masculine.’”
The FAQ does not explain the number of people comprising the “many” who “avoid these labels.”
In any case, the instruction manual says in bold: “Never, ever refer to a person as ‘it’ or ‘he-she’ (unless they specifically ask you to.) These are offensive slurs used against trans and gender non-conforming individuals.”
!snip!
And there it is, the reason I wish I was still in college, because I would insist that people refer to me as STUPID F***ING SNOWFLAKE SELF-IMPORTANT FA@@OT.
That’s right. According to the guideline a pronoun can be an offensive slur, BUT it depends on whether they specifically ask you to or not.
So, I would insist I be called STUPID F***ING SNOWFLAKE SELF-IMPORTANT FA@@OT. And if anyone refuses to call me that I will sue them right out of the school.
As a white guy, I am really offended if people don’t call me a lazy nigger.
What?
According to no less a racist than George Wallace, that should be “nigra.”
In college everyone thought I was your typical stick-up-the-ass WASP.
It’s an honor I still wear proudly.
The natural progression from Common Core (the program developed to intentionally corrupt, confuse and cripple a child´s brain so that they cannot excel in the modern world) to further obfuscate reality and common sense with the twisted pretzel logic of some so-called Liberal Utopia where up is down, left is right and there are now 25 different sexes! Every year this country gets more and more FUBAR with their efforts to weaken America any way possible!
The latest issue of “Analog” has a short story by special little snowflake Sarah Frost that uses zie, zim and zir. The title is “Deep Waters Call Out What is Deeper Still.” Pretty tells you all you need to know, doesn’t it?
God, I miss Robert Heinlein and John W. Campbell.
In my world the most general classifications of humans are, Man / Woman / Fruitcake.
Anything outside of that still falls under Man / Woman / Fruitcake.
Yeah, and I’M the asshole.
I like to combine ‘Ze’ and ‘It’; Zit.
Just between us Stupid Fucking Snowflake Self-Important Faggots… We will most likely reproduce at a higher rate than these Shrinkdick Pussymouthed Jellyfish so if we were just to do something about the open border we’ll have this situation dicked in 15-20 years.
A painful two decades but survivable.
FWIW, I still call the head of a committee a chairman, regardless of the individual’s sex.
I want to be called Mongo the Clydesdale.
Call me moHAMed the paedophile
He, she, it, hit and shit.
In college I was a redneck. Is that cultural misappropriation from the Native Americans? You know, the “red” part?
So hard being PC today.
Also waiting for the PC crowd outrage of the pic showing Trump eating KFC. How is that not just as racist as the Taco Bowl?
Tee Hee.
They still bleed … no matter what they call themselves … or each other …
izlamo delenda est …
Are people supposed to remember which of the many nonsensical, made up pronouns a particular freak prefers or will zhey wear name tags?
College is more than job training. It s your chance to explore, make friends, and grow as a person. Unfortunately, college is also more expensive than it s ever been, so you have to balance your exploration with some hard-nosed practicality. Here are some things we wish we knew while we were still in college. People have their eyes on top schools not just because the diploma bears that name, but because of the connections they make while they are there. Every person I talked to listed this as the number one thing they wish they knew when they were in college, or at least took better advantage of.
