Everyone seems proud of themselves for realizing that both sex and gender do not divide into two nice halves. I guess I have just taken it as a given that is how the world is.
Nevertheless, Facebook is still predicated on the the worst false dichotomy of all time: someone is either my friend or they are not my friend.
Do we need an entire generation of friendism movement to raise awareness the world is full of colleagues, acquaintances, etc. I know this doesn't matter for a lot of people, but for those of us with nonconforming relationships, being forced to choose a binary option as friend or not friend is disheartening.
It is the reason I quit Facebook.
- jerf 13y agoHmmm... I think trying to link binary friend to binary gender weakens an argument that is perfectly capable of standing on its own. (It's pretty obvious there's a huge range of "friend"ships in the real world.)
