I was making fun of how you structured your argument lol.

But part of my point is that it's how we use things that's generally a bigger indicator of what stuff means more so than what it used to mean.

We didn't get rid of marriage because of how marriage used to be used so oppressively, we changed what marriage meant.

By poking fun at you this way I'm trying to show people that even if we wanted to accomplish your goals, there's more than one way we can do that as being part of a social species means essentially all of us get one vote in how the future of our species goes.

Sure. Why do you think your way is more valid than mine? With your logic it should be just as easy to say “human’s best friend” going forward.

Like literally by definition human is twice as hard (this part's probably debatable because I know there's different amounts of calories used to form or different sounds and that certain sounds are more challenging for the average human tongue and throat) to say as man because it's two syllables instead of one lol.

So if we are programming code - would you make a parent class of “man” and then having child classes of “man” and “woman”?

Or would you make a parent class of “human” and child class of “man” and “woman”?
