A caveat of bending over backwards to be as inclusive as possible is that sometimes you end up including people who are just plain nuts. You end up enshrining the personal problems of a handful of people into company policy.
- thrwy_ywrht 5y ago> people who are just plain nuts Are you suggesting that it's "plain nuts" to be against private ownership of land?
- Stupulous 5y agoAs someone who somewhat supports public land ownership (of the Georgism variety), I think you'd have to be plain nuts to use that belief to justify discouraging others to use the word 'landlord'. Especially considering I hear the word more from people who oppose land ownership than from anyone else. I'm more inclined to believe that this is about gender.
- toomanyrichies 5y agoExactly. One won't eliminate the concept by eliminating the word to describe the concept.
- la6472 5y agoAnd the new concept is property owner can be of any gender so change the word that points out to one particular gender. When did change become so difficult in this society? Ha!!
