PER SON

Not any linguist here but I know since 1966, when Bergman's film "Persona" was premiered in Buenos Aires, that it comes from "Mask".

Instead of learning a thing or two, I won’t be surprised if her reply was “thanks for Mansplaining language to me”

Facts are amazing. Amirite?

Ha ha. Well done. She deserves some aloe with that burn.

I bet she didn't learn a damn thing. At best she won't repost these feelings on the internet but she will probably still tell her feminist friends.

But there's so much more sexist examples:
HIS STORY
DICK TIONARY
PENIS SULA and the worst offender of all:
COCK PIT

Definitely qualifies as not all heroes wear capes

Good luck trying to sue whoever or what ever.

bitch, stay in your lane

The best part this clickbait article omits.

Anyone else wondering what a "Feminist Chewbacca" looks like?

LittleJohnnyNations · 2018-02-15T22:40:55+00:00

A linguist that starts a sentence with OMG....

gruffogre · 2018-02-18T12:00:13+00:00

I have an aunt who is exactly like the woman who gets schooled in the link. Her favourite.... History. His Story.

The_Real_DerekFoster · 2018-02-15T22:34:44+00:00

The tone of the response is as infuriating as the reason for the response. Ex:

OMG no ur jus hella dumb let me tel you why...

Spoopsnloops · 2018-02-16T07:08:37+00:00

Not sure if this has been brought up, but the "wo," "fe," "hu," and "per," are suffixes, meaning that they take precedent, and come before, the actual male related words.

So yeah, those words are sexist, but sexist in that they favor women before the men, like is typical in society.

Actually the person who ‘schooled’ the feminist then got schooled himself by a seemingly more educated person afterwards if you followed the original post. (This was on /r/bestof yesterday I believe.
