I suppose just keep fighting it. Call it out when we see it over and over and over.

Curious.

That's interesting because after thinking about it, i do both...
When i hear it from the femme folks, it makes me feel sad and sorta hurts my feelers i guess. I want to reach out and find out how anyone could think this era of time could be a good thing. It boggles my mind.
But, i'll be completely honest here, when i hear it from masculine folk? I get VERY defensive....and i don't really know why i feel this way...I want to scream, levitate, spew green fluid from my nostrils and bite the head off of a bat.
Not sure why it spurs different feelings depending on who i hear it from. I'll have to think on that.
