“This is important in changing hearts and minds.” The louder it screams "IMPORTANT !" on the outside of the envelope, the less valuable the contents are.
Same thing here.

Here's the problem....My 9 year old grandson didn't know what an indian was. He was raised with the PC, "Native American", in the school.
Well, he does now and I gave my 5 year old grandson a little indian boy statue.
Like my son in law said: "We didn't play cowboys and native americans".

I find the new term to be incredibly offensive. Who can I sue?

“Words matter,” said Liz Watson, a National Women’s Law Center senior adviser. “This is important in changing hearts and minds.”
She’s totally correct. Words DO MATTER they are the means of translating mental concepts into communicable concepts to another person.
Imagine if the language you speak had no words for Love, Freedom, Honor, etc. It would be difficult to communicate those concepts to another person who spoke that same language.
This is a insidious path they are trodding upon!

Now the question comes up is what are they going to do with the word “homo” which is Latin for ‘man’?

I thought handwriting was just the physical object of something written by hand (or sometimes foot :-) while penmanship was the quality of that handwriting? The words are not interchangeable. If they had any imagination, they would think of new words like maybe ‘penwritingship’. It’s not like there’s a law against it.

To quote my wife, “We are surrounded by idiots!”
Like Mathematics and Arithmetic, Penmanship and Handwriting are two entirely different things.
To: rickmichaels
Are the idiots going to presume also to change the name of woman and women to wo’s and wee’s?!

"There’s no good reason for keeping our legal terms anachronistic and with words that do not respect our current contemporary times,” Kohl-Welles, the 475-page bill’s sponsor, told ReutersNo good reason - I guess the effort being a ridiculous waste of time and money doesn't count.

It is just a really good thing that the word ASSHOLE is gender neutral.

Oh, and for what it is worth, having experienced WA, and enjoyed most of what wasn’t politics related, I chose to never (well never is a long time)go near the place if I could help it.

Doesn’t the term “handwriting” discriminate against people without hands?

I’m guessing they won’t touch “manslaughter” because if they make it too generic people might think it includes fetuses.

Eastern Washington state is quite conservative. The west coast of the state is a la-la land filled with the enlighten elite.
