It's how words work.
- friend_and_foe 3y agoOh it's how words work huh? Well while we are discussing how words work, I'd like to point out that you get to pick your nouns, not your pronouns. Males are designated "he", " him", a male adult human is a "man" etc. The grammatical rules of the english language don't have any allowance for self selecting pronouns, that's what proper nouns are for. Since we are talking about how words work.
