I can't even begin to parse what you're saying here. Mom is not the opposite of dad, they are just paired ideas. This isn't semantics, this is plain simple reality. We sometimes think of them as binaries but they aren't actually so. The opposite of a Mom is a not-Mom, a concept which can include Dad but can also include a woman who hasn't had children. "This is only true if the use of feminine and masculine descriptions when discussing tech is inherently sexist" I wasn't arguing about anything being inherently sexist, I was arguing that it was contextually sexist. If you don't understand that words have connotations, people's reactions to sexism will always seem mysterious and arbitrary to you. "Take your logic a little bit further and you might as well label gendered pronouns as sexist since they imply the sex of the subject" You obviously don't understand my logic and are arguing about something completely different. |
