You’re clearly passionate about this cause, and while I respect your dedication to equality I wish you’d find a different target to redirect your vigor towards.

Policing my language is not a way to win friends, it’s a way to force your view on me. I find this offensive. A sibling commenter mentioned that you’re going to cause others to dig in their heels, and I agree with them. Your zealotry in demanding that I change my speech is overbearing and likely damaging to your cause.
I also notice you’ve twice called other posters cowards, asserted that another should “educate themselves”, and said that you don’t have time for people who “aren’t interested in making the world a better place”, defined as such, of course, by you. Not only are you deciding for others how they should be thinking and speaking, you’re also aggressive about it. I’d encourage you to re-assess your authoritarian attitude.
There are better venues to creating a more equal society than to force others to speak in your preferred manner just because you don’t like certain words.
- lwhi 3y agoIf you were paying attention you'd notice I called the same poster a coward, for the same reason each time. I'm always astounded why people who are grievously offended—by being asked to be more considerate of people who have a harder time than them—are unable to justify their point of view. Maybe it's because there's little reason other than wanting to be seen as correct?
