For one, I have never heard the term "child raiser" in my life so I assume its even more confusing for those with english as a second language. It also just sounds so emotionless, like children are cattle. I'm really struggling to see what is gained by not using parent. For all intents and purposes, people use the term parent for those raising a child.

- IlliOnato 3y agoI am not taking sides in this discussion, but as a non-native English speaker I can assure you that the term was not confusing to me :-)
- flkenosad 3y agoYeah it's just internet people trying to coin terms then gaslighting those who don't adopt.
- skywhopper 3y agoNo one is gaslighting anyone, except maybe the folks who pretend language never changes. No one complained about the use of "parent". The folks who started the argument complained about "child raiser". The problem here are the "internet people" who pick pointless fights about the motives behind anyone who does anything differently than they would have done.
- Semaphor 3y agoAgreed. I don’t mind the term, but it also sounds emotionless to me, like corporate speech. Something I’d expect in a press release. I’m not a native speaker.
