The Privilege of Vocabulary (Part 2):
The Privilege Dictionary
It's easier to debate any concept when all the pertinent terms are defined in your gender's favor. Here's my growing list of phallocentric and hypermasculine propaganda words that would make George Orwell proud [1].
The List of Ridiculous Boy Words
- Poaching Aunt Ethel's wireless Internet = War Driving
- Prepubescent boys watching prostitution-based sex class propaganda on the web after entering 01/01/1900 as their date of birth = Mature Audiences Only
- The hypothesis that life originated elsewhere in the universe and was delivered to Earth through a processes akin to seeds and spores, and certainly not by the dispersal of non-viable gametes from males = Panspermia (S)
- Fellow - Your companion, comrade, associate, equal or peer. Also means man. There is only once gender for which these two definitions do not inherently conflict, and that is intentional.
Feel free to add your own! Post your suggestions in the comments, and I'll add them to the list.
(S) - Denotes yet another sperm-centric word that would be incredibly silly if 99% of our society didn't take it so seriously.
[1] That is, if he wasn't sexist. Orwell missed the great irony of 1984; that such a dystopian system already existed on Earth right under his nose, yet completely out of his perception because he so thoroughly bought into the tenets of Patriarchy.
