Humans beings.... as sexual beings? How important is it?

When I hear the word "man", I don't think of a human being, I think of a man-whether you have half a brain or not, ask the average person, and they'll tell you the same thing. I'm not confused at all, it's logical, in spite of your efforts to make "man" or "mankind" generic, it's not. Why is this such a big deal to non-feminists and anti-fems-what does it matter what words some feminist's use?

Btw: Not all feminists really care one way or the other either. I actually care about a lot more things than semantics at this point, good luck finding lots of feminists who want to argue with you about it.

They aren't confused; they just understand better than you do what a dictionary is for. Contrary to what your English teacher might have told you at some point, dictionaries do not determine what a word "means". They are simply a record of the many ways that people use words.

The fact that this one includes definitions that are both inclusive of women and... er... men (1b or 2a) *and* sex-specific (1a), demonstrates that it's not as simple as you want to believe it is.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
