Should we change the word "human" to "huperson"?

[AleDeEurope]

Since it contains the word "man" in it, it's sexist, so should we change "man" for "person" so that it includes every 76+ genders? Huperson, woperson, personkind...

People are already changing words like "snowman" into "snowperson".

Yes, we need to be inclusive

No, language isn't sexist

It's just a fucking word...

Leaving "man" in them shows male superiority and I support that

[front2back]

The way English works (or was supposed to at least), "man" is supposed to be a generic term for a person. "Mankind" is supposed to mean all people.

Things got weird when we eventually started calling males "men" so now the word has two things it's referring too.
In general though, human doesn't need to be changed because it's referring to people in general.

[AleDeEurope]

But it's the 21st century though, now people think of males when hearing the word "man".

[steveguitar]

It's hard to chNge something that is so ingrained in society. Besides a lot of our words come from the old Greek languages. I totally understand the reasons, and I agree that we should look into it, I'm fairly certain it will never happen.

You can make a snowoman

[vishna]

Why do you have to be so condescending and bitter about something that can cut people to the core?

[AleDeEurope]

Who's talking about cutting? Don't cut yourself, Vishna :/

[AleDeEurope]

I don't know why you're so bitter. What's the matter? I'm here to help :)

[vishna]

No, haha, I'm content in bed nibbling salted caramel chews, bitter? No. I'm not the one making condescending posts about gender identity on GaG for no reason. You're not a child, anyone with a brain knows what you're doing.

[AleDeEurope]

You sound quite bitter to me, can't seem to take a joke lol

[hollywood94]

Good Lord. Tell me you are joking.
Gotta love the modern world...

[AleDeEurope]

Modern? We're in the same patriarchy as 2000 years ago.

[hollywood94]

Yes but only recently have people begun having issues wih everything under the sun. The last few years everyone has become so incredibly oversensitive to so many things. Before long someone will find somethig sexist about oxygen, too. Its just getting ridiculous. You can't say ANYTHING anymore wihout "insulting" someone.

[archiz]

lmfao dude
the heck do you come up with those questions?

[AleDeEurope]

I just can't stand the patriarchy >:(

[archiz]

oh preach person! preach!

[meatballs21]

Person has "son" in it which is male too, you cis oppressor.

So trigger giev safe space naow kthx

[AleDeEurope]

Oh fuck... how could've I not noticed? :/

[Intraluminal]

It's humafestly wrong to use the M word. Language that uses the M word gives us all an African-American eye. Think of humahumaity! It's time we stopped Caucasian-washing this problem.

[AleDeEurope]

Amen!

[Intraluminal]

We need to conquer ageism as well. It's an outrchronologicallychallenged!

[PT1911]

Sounds like someone needs a helicopter ride

[AleDeEurope]

LMFAO

[Blobb]

Yessssss Lmao
make all the words retarded!

Or Hukitten, so it doesn't trigger people who are anti human. We should also paint country flags rainbow colors and make breakfast cereal unicorn shaped.

[TheLuckyPizzaDog]

Dude, unicorn shaped cereal would be amazing. Just saying.

[Blobb]

@TheLuckyPizzaDog only if whenever you eat it the cereal box starts singing "Pink Fluffy Unicorns Dancing On Rainbows"!

[Waffles731]

Other, thats way to fucking long, also our technical title is homo sapiens

[RedThread]

Then you'd have to change the word woman too because man is in that as well.

[AleDeEurope]

Yeah, like I said in my question, it'd be woperson.

[RedThread]

My bad I rarely read descriptions lol

[pinolly]

Totally.
And carrots shouldn't be used for a noses either. It's very phallic and triggering for most people.

[TheLuckyPizzaDog]

The sooner someone instigates ww3 and we all nuke each other to particles the better.

[Stevan7]

I recently heard that there are billion genders, so I'm quite offended for having to choose one of 76.

[ChocoLada]

Male superiority? LoL, hahaha, right :P
But still, I don't think we should change the words :)

[ChocoLada]

Ok, I know what kind of superiority you have ;)

[doodlecake]

I agree with the option 'it's just a fucking word'.
Also the whole 76 genders bull crap, there aren't 76 genders, there are 2. And then there are delusional people.

[Blitzkrieger]

Do want to make a snowfuck? Do you want to make a snowcunt? Maybe a snowdick?

I can make words too like that.

[Dred1614returns]

This has me so triggered right now.
It's sad that there are probably people that believe this.

[kingarthas]

people are realy changing word snowman to snowperson? bloody hell

[gareebsag]

Do you wanna build a snowy? Kinda sound good. Haha

[AleDeEurope]

I like that :)

[dudeman]

you realize this is why trump won right?

[AleDeEurope]

He's in favor of changing the language though...

[juliaanita]

I am thinking huwoman.
or hugirl, huboy,:)

[AleDeEurope]

I like the huwoman, women deserve to be recognized, it's about time.

[juliaanita]

hurrah for you:)

hard to say though in a sentence:)

[ElissaDido]

We should also change woman to woperson 😂

[AleDeEurope]

Yeah, I put that on the question :)

[Doffydood]

Did you just assume my species, shitlord?

[BellaChic]

I legit lmao when I saw this.

[Rissyanne]

No that's just stupid

[rose004b]

B. - I'm so sick of this retarded BS.

[Sasha_Kotelenets]

Is this a joke?

[AleDeEurope]

Do you think this is a joke?

[archiz]

how could you :/
that s a very serious matter!

[Sasha_Kotelenets]

"man" is just a word, nowadays people will find anything to complain about.

[mikemx55]

Fucking americunts... always triggered lol

[Emmdk]

It's just a word...

[AleDeEurope]

A sexist one...

[Emmdk]

I disagree.

[AleDeEurope]

You suffer internalized misogyny.

[Emmdk]

Wow that's a crazy statement. I'm not. I just don't believe the word human is sexist. Take a chill pill.

[legalboxers]

[AleDeEurope]

Are you also outraged that so many words have the word "man" in it?

[legalboxers]

snowman
mailman
heman
wo-MAN

Etymology
Main article: Man (word)

The English term "man" is derived from a Proto-Indo-European root *man- (see Sanskrit/Avestan manu-, Slavic mǫž "man, male").[1] More directly, the word derives from Old English mann. The Old English form had a default meaning of "adult male" (which was the exclusive meaning of wer), though it could also signify a person of unspecified gender. The closely related Old English pronoun man was used just as it is in Modern German to designate "one" (e. g., in the saying man muss mit den Wölfen heulen).[2] The Old English form is derived from Proto-Germanic *mannz, "human being, person", which is also the etymon of German Mann "man, husband" and man "one" (pronoun), Old Norse maðr, and Gothic manna. According to Tacitus, the mythological progenitor of the Germanic tribes was called Mannus. *Manus in Indo-European mythology was the first man, see Mannus, Manu (Hinduism).
