Small quibble: at least according to her twitter account linked from the sidebar of the linked post, the author of the linked post ("Eevee a.k.a. Evelyn Woods") goes by "she/her"
- _HMCB_ 5y agoI should have looked at the username. My bad.
- mixmastamyk 5y agoMaybe she goes by "sir" also, like Peppermint Patty.
- IAmEveryone 5y agoEven after reading the Wikipedia article to find out who "Peppermint Patty" is, I don't quite understand the reference but get the impression that it may be slightly disrespectful?
- bryanrasmussen 5y agoPeppermint Patty is a character in the Peanuts comic strip, there are probably only 4 characters in the strip that if you say someone is like that character it would be taken as disrespectful. I don't think Peppermint Patty is disrespectful personally.
- DocTomoe 5y agoThose are sad times when the new generation doesn't intimately know about the Peanuts anymore. Peppermint Patty´s best frient, Marcie, tends to eccentrically call her "sir", which may be due to Marcie´s bad eyesight and Patty´s slightly tomboyish behaviours. Patty at first is hugely annoyed by that, but eventually starts to accept - or better, less obviously discourages - that behaviour.
- e-dt 5y agoBut Peppermint Patty famously didn't go by "sir".
- mixmastamyk 5y agoNope, just watched the Thanksgiving special.
