What's with the gender stuff? Especially the tendency of some posters to use ``ey'', ``them'', et cetera. Am I missing some fad that you guys are getting yourselves into in your real life OR some other online forum/community?
I am aware of the LGBT movement and whatnot, so that's that? Some of us here are part of this movement? Is it because of your ``openmindedness'', or are you a lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender?
Or perhaps it's some semantics enthusiast who longs for a gender-neutral spoken language?
If you want my sincere opinion, I think this whole thing is dumb. As dumb as getting a hissy fit on the use of the word ``nigger''. (or ``jew'')
Honestly I want to believe that /prog/ is populated by smart beings who don't have such stupid intellectual preconceptions. But you are lucky if such are your intellectual preconceptions: It's easy for others to point them out to you, and it's easy for you to understand them. What about me? I have no popular misconceptions. All my misconceptions are dark corners in an otherwise lit room. Nobody will point them out. Will I find out by myself?
