Wow, doublespeak to a higher power. I had no idea gender meant subordination of women. I'll have to become more gender aware and do my share of subordination. The article you reference has a valid point to make, but to associate discrimination against women as somehow a "gender issue", and not a social issue, or worse, to say the two are the same, bespeaks an authorship of limited vocabulary. Perhaps that is the point, to make something appear to be something it ain't. Perhaps you remember: "I don't know what you mean by 'glory,'" Alice said. Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. "Of course you don't – till I tell you. I meant 'there's a nice knock-down argument for you!'" "But 'glory' doesn't mean 'a nice knock-down argument,'" Alice objected. "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in a rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master – that's all." wg
