His or Her. HERstory. Fuck off.
Certain people piss me off. This politically correct bullshit mars our language and slows down communication. In the name of ensuring that every fucking fringe group is satisfied today, we must either alter our speech or can't even say it at all.
Free speech my ass.
Among examples, I find myself constantly in need of saying 'him or her'. I can't use the prior art of 'eir' to shorten it, moo-style, and I sure as hell am not going to use the vulgar replacement 'their' for 'him or her', since it's impossible if I meant to use it like that or if I'm just some dumbass hooligan fuckwad with pathetically bad (american) education and don't know any better. Yes, I need to make my subjects and verbs agree, and 'him or her' is the only acceptable subject that will agree. Thus, I need to write three times as much. Fuck you, you PC bastards.
Especially because 'him' used to mean 'him or her', in the same way that 'man' is really short for 'mankind'; it's only through ancient political correctness - which disguised the efforts of fringe groups to bend common will to their own special interest, then as now - that we adopted the special moniker for half the human race, that of Woman. It was a title, to indicate that a woman had voluntarily debased herself by becoming shacked to some Neanderthal for 'life'. 'Man' was the shortened synonym for 'humankind'. Note the root or 'man' in there, too.
But no. Apparently that's not good enough. We've capitulated to some self-important assholes in ancient time, little overly-entitled narcissist pricks who needed their own term, and now we have to constantly nod to them even when we're using the formerly generally recognized official term for a group.
Do we say 'chickens and hens'? Do we say 'dogs and bitches'? No. But apparently we have to say the container and its subset in 'men and women'.
My fucking christ, do you people ever suck. You've made the English language less efficient - which I didn't think was possible - just to get your own recognition. I don't get recognition, so sit your self-important coddled-child ass back in your seat, and understand that you're just not more important than anyone else.
Don't get me started on the whole 'african American' thing. Humankind is already so stupid as to be killing this planet just by our own wasteful egocentrism, but here we have people represented by one vocal group who can't even decide which title is acceptable to them. Yes, I'd like to get money from the United Negro College Fund, myself, and I think that in order to get it, we need to re-assert the scientific Negro label again. It's the fucking word for that style of human, you numbskull. It's not a 'dirty word', no more than a female dog is a bitch.
Ugh. You people and your overinflated sense of self worth. You're just like the rest of us: no better, no worse, so get over yourself.
Please call me racist or sexist so I can call you a hypocritical arrogant fuck or one of the people who coddle them.
