Firstly, all respect to those of nonbinary gender identity. Represent by selecting C (or applicable poll response) and commenting to weigh in.

Also; I do not deride SJWs. I'm more than qualified as one myself. It just makes sense for us all to ask one another to maintain healthy standards of political correctness, AND of simple interpersonal respect.

It's the mark of the true SJW, though, to hold oneself to consistent standards, and to admit it when one lapses. It erodes our good name when we over-enforce, or when we simply deny our mistakes.

This question is about first-world nuisances. Hope most of us regard it as a necessary nuisance when someone counter-intuitively corrects you on someone else's pronoun preferences (i. e. when you're told not to call that hottie in form-fitting jeans "her"). Stay on watch for those personal pronoun preferences.

And it makes sense to say "they" if you know an individual specifically prefers you to. And it's okay to say "they" if you lack knowledge of an individual's gender identity, or especially if you don't know her/his/their actual gender. (Note my example of the articulate solution. It's rarely asking too much to write or to say "he, she, or they.")

Whereas the trend of PRONOUN OVERWATCH is an unnecessary nuisance. If you know someone likes to be called "her/she" and someone else likes to be called "he/him," then why say "them/they?"

When I noted that this bothers me, it felt like healthy emotional self-honesty. It soon got me wondering if maybe being bothered is more of a guy thing, so I decided I might as well poll. I considered polling women only, but realized there's no reason not to keep it open to all.

Hey men on here, I wanted to get your thoughts on something - would you own a gun for protection if you had a family with a wife and kids?

I know this is a pretty controversial and sensitive topic, but I'm really curious to hear a range of perspectives. On one hand, I can see the argument for wanting that extra layer of security and the ability to defend your loved ones if something terrible were to happen. But on the other hand, the risks of having a deadly weapon in the house, especially with kids around, also seem really concerning.

What do you all think about this dilemma? Would you feel safer and more protected by having a gun in your home to guard against potential threats? Or do you think the dangers and drawbacks of gun ownership outweigh any potential benefits, especially when you've got a family to think about?

I'm sure there are valid points on both sides of this debate, so I'd really appreciate hearing your honest thoughts and experiences. How would you weigh the pros and cons if you were in that situation? Do you think there are better ways to secure your home and protect your loved ones besides owning a firearm?

For me, I’m thinking I might get one to hold for protection for my future family or even myself, probably before I have a family, because knowing the world we live in nowadays and the current state we’re in, people are crazy and try anything, so we try to be safe, aware, and cautious with our surroundings, especially in our homes. I’m not sure yet.

Bonus question: if you were to own a gun… what kind of gun would you get?

Let me know what you think! I know this is a super complex and personal issue, so I'm really curious to get some insights from the GirlsAskGuys community. Appreciate you sharing your perspectives!
