The only inclusive word is Birthing person or a person who prefers a pronoun or she/her.
You are not feminist/ally unless you shut up and give space to include intersectional people (Minorities, Oppressed Castes)
- R
Be objective when you are moderating. You have to be above all this mudslinging the biased junta engages in.
Guest @ 3 has presumed that use of term girl is condescending - which to any rational person is preposterous to say the least. Just because she is a girl, doesn't mean that she is not an officer? What kind of a prejudiced mind do you need to have to think that both can't go along and / or are mutually exclusive?
Would you have referred to her male counterpart as a 'boy' I wonder? - You can only wonder because that is not the case. Young officers are referred to as boys / girls all over the world. As unprofessional as it may be, it has no connection with the 'patriarchal RW mindset' that you seem to despise and felt free to chime in. You have been as unprofessional to come to a conclusion without any rationale or reasonable probability.
Calm down, you don't have to over react all the time and / or make an issue out of thin air.
I don't understand what's wrong with girl/boy.
"Scorches"
Is it just me, or does this post subtly reek of the mindset shared by a certain section of the electorate that voted Modi to power in 2019 based on the Balakot posturing?
Also, how is even remotely relevant to this forum?
How can you call someone girl or even woman. You can't assume a persons gender unless they have mentioned it publically using pronouns. Not everyone is cisgender. There are non binary people.
Using 'girl' means you are infantalizing and trivializing thier existence, your toxic masculinity is seen in the post brave 'girl'. Many are telling that OP should have used women or birthing people - which is also sexist. The ideal term is a brave 'person' .
Womxn is always more inclusive than women. Women/Woman is not intersectional and contains man/men.
Girl, Woman are all used to toxic patriarchal sanghis to show off thier pride.
Don't assume anything,
There are men who lactate and become pregnant. Any kind of gendered language should be prevented. Feminism, Gender Studies and Intersectional theories should be made mandatory.
Nationalism and Hindu, Indian pride are also toxic; additionally for the OP.
I guess they must also be furious that Sneha Dubey is a JNU alum!
My comment from last night is tagged "trollish" & "awaiting moderation"
but other comments which are MORE trollish / "passionately" written are published
Pathetic.
Just censor the objectionable part and allow the rest of it to be posted.
It isn't particularly brave to read out a pre-prepared speech.
