For me it’s saying, “we can’t joke about anything anymore”. Sirens go off immediately 🚨

      Blame the military. In the 1980s to 2000s, probably up through 2010ish that’s all that was ever heard “that’s not a woman, that’s a Female Soldier”. It literally got drilled into a lot of heads.

              The point is/was that soldiers are not male or female when in uniform … they are just soldiers.

              Dont throw “fascist” around so much, it makes you sound like a NPC bot and the word literally loses its bite.

              The older generations use the word female literally (as in by textbook definition) to describe a subjects gender. As examples; “The dog is female, there was a female police officer there, we could have had the first female president”. The younger generation wants to get offended by the usage of a clinical term. All in all its pretty fucking dumb … they should direct that energy into getting offended by billionaires tampering in politics.

                  It is hyperbole. The conservative “fascist” movement will be in your area soon. Its trying to spread everywhere. Racism is a very appealing to stupid people and it is being used by corporations as a rallying cry to spread rampant capitalism.
