I think he's bang on with his bit about "housewife".

I'd also better throw in that I know this guy in real life. I was at his wedding a few months ago. He's one of those strange people who is simultaneously very cool indeed and also a complete dork. (And yes, I say these things to his face.)

He can also a) not hold his mead (home-brewed and very very strong), b) charm you senseless and c) pass out on the carpet in front of you, *all at the same time*.

I also have the huge advantage of reading this and hearing it all being said in a rather bass Aussie accent with a wry grin on his face.

	Heck, there's other wank back a few days. I, yes me, am the one who insisted that if you stay home, raise the kids and keep the house clean, you're a housewife. Apparently I am a horrible human being for calling things what they are, instead of whatever the person wants to be called. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	My goal in life is to become a housewife with servants. I shall sit in my lofty throne, heartily commanding them to draw the curtains, and lo they shall draw the curtains. Arr. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Gender-neutral pronouns don't really get on my nerves, at least not in other languages, 'cause they're already there. But when people start pulling gender-neutral pronouns out their asses to use as part of the English language, it makes me want to take a spork to various areas of soft tissue.

	But we HAVE one. "It" People just don't want to be called an it. That doesn't mean we don't have a neuter pronoun. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	eyes cross I didn't know that 'housewife' was an insulting term. o_O I must come from one fucked-up family. Every stay-at-home mom in my gene pool calls herself a housewife. Even the one stay-at-home dad calls himself a housewife. I had no idea it was an insult. (Reply to this)(Thread)
