we all started using the word WOMANKIND to describe humans INSTEAD of MANKIND?
and
we started using words like HER and SHE to describe PEOPLE, and HE and HIM to describe BOATS and CARS? and we only use the word MAN to describe adult males, but mainly use the word BOY?
and
we start saying things like, "SISTERHOOD OF WOMAN", and stop saying "BROTHERHOOD OF MAN"?
and
we REPLACE the word MAN with WOMAN each and every time it is used if the U.S. Constitution, unless it is specifically referring to males.
and
we start blessing the Mother, Daughter, and Holy Sprit?
Would ya'll mind any?

wow that was actually a good point you just made, well i suppose it would at first because we are used to the way it is now but with change would come the ability to adapt. but far as a lot of what you say has already been dealt with as what is and what is not politically correct.

eeee..aaaaa what who where ! Eqaulity between genders is over rated, Men and women deserve equal rights but they are very different, always will be. That raises another question. Is God he or she?
Once you can answer that, I will start answering rest of your question.

Yes, because it's completely undeserving. When I see women making more accomplishments than men, then yes, it's warranted.
Will this ever happen? No. Why? Because women will not design, build, or invent like men do. Never have, never will. Get used to it.

I wouldn't mind. Though I've always thought the terms should all be gender nuetral.

Pretty lame, sister. You haven't even passed asking the male gender for permission. Give it up.
Do what you think is right for your life, but don't be messing with politics and permission for the rest of the country/world. I am a feminist and you don't get my vote.

I would mind unless of course, women can invent interstellar travel, robot slaves, and a bunch of other inventions to surpass men's.
Get working; men have made a lot of things, you're going to have to make even more if you want us to use your language. Make just as much, and we can use gender-neutral language.

Other than using gender neutral terms, we could set up a national schedule, just to be fair:
MWF-male terms
TTS-female terms
