Quote:Regarding the word "mankind." As far as I know, we have been using "humankind" for a long time, at least in the US. So why fight about the past?
No one's fighting about the past. This is what is represented at present:
Mankind: 91.5 results on google
Humankind: 15.2 million results on Google.
Mankind: 660 results on Bring4th.org
Humankind: 260 results on Bring4th.org
I'm not even saying this is a big deal, it's a strange battle to pick. But the point is that I think it's less helpful to pretend these biases aren't inherent in the system. If you think it was "problem in the past", then you should be willing to look at the ongoing problem.

The thing is that here, you are speaking of a hypothetical where someone attacks your gender/race (since when was race brought into this?). A few posts above yours, there are some completely incendiary claims towards women, including that women are too lazy to create anything of value, and that women indoctrinate/manipulate men into providing for them, and also that women rape men by wearing makeup and altering their appearance. How am I supposed to respond to that is the real question, because it's a real scenario that we are all currently dealing with in this thread.
I think it's fascinating that a man can say these things about a woman, but a woman comes in and says the word "detuned" and suddenly she's the aggressor causing division.
Is it really that hard to see how our society is inherently biased in one direction?
It's interesting you bring up animal abuse here, Diana, because I believe that our system of enslaving females of other species to produce food for us by exploiting their reproductive cycles is also a symptom of the extreme bias in our system, or in the very least silently helps perpetuate it. Talk about parasitic and cancerous ideologies that activate the vibrations of separation!
