The news here just informed us that women are losing more jobs right now than men. Like this is in some way to do with their gender, rather than the types of jobs they have. I have not heard about a single female doctor being laid off. Male cosmetician? Yeah. That's how it goes.

If these are the things people are worried about right now, y'all may want to spend some time licking doorknobs, or walk into a hospital without a facemask, and see what real problems look like
@xvarnah is right. Gender inequality may still be real but its perpetuated by people who dont understand where the inequalities are actually occurring. Gendered language is the least of everyones problems
To quote a friend of mine with regards to the kinds of people who would be offended by gendered language and seek to censor such apparently offensive language, "You can parody them all you want, but you'll always find that your parodies will pale in comparison to what they promote or condone."

"Learn to speak Spanish. Now learn to speak Italian. Now subtract the Spanish from the Italian. You are left with French."
