I was once a Gibbon reader, and still look up references to his work. I found this one today.
It was probably in 9th or 10th Grade that I first read "Guidelines for Equal Treatment of the Sexes in McGraw-Hill Book Company Publications," an excerpt of which was included in my copy of "The Norton Reader, 5th Edition." It was here, I believe, that I first was introduced to:
Not "manmade," but instead "artificial, manufactured, constructed of human origin."
Not "fireman" or "mailman" or "chairman," but instead "fire fighter," "letter carrier," and "the person presiding at a meeting."
And so, I chose the one profession that could not be questioned or transliterated: INFANTRYMAN.
And guess what? People wearing stars suddenly decide that they can no longer serve with people that serve with integrity but have to lie about the fact that they are homos. Nevermind that they lied to join. Pay no attention to the scientific fact that the butthole is not a vagina.
It would seem that every foundation is starting to show its cracks, no pun intended, well, maybe some. I always thought the revolt would not happen in my lifetime. Not anymore. I assumed it would be passive. Now, not so much.
Discuss amongst yourselves.
