It got pretty heated.
Of course, I'm in the camp that words are words, and in themselves are harmless; it is the listener who decides (whether consciously or subconsciously) to take offense.
But, I'm not gonna try rehashing that argument here, so I'll let it drop.
Thanks for the info.
Let's not...oh well, just real quick: I used the word "female" pretty much as a noun just like "male" in my reply above. Aeryn found that was not okay, some agreed with her, some with me, discussions went from grammar to feminism and everyone was glad when the dust finally had settled

Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.
Do any viewers of Revolution not want both teenaged leads to die?

Same. I'll probably still tune in for episodes that significantly advance the plot, though. *NM*

I also hate her "moral compass" positions. And dude, let's not phrase the last sentence that way...

SM Stirling's Emberverse destroyed steam power too, but they still use the rail roads.
