That is exactly what buttnugget is trying to say in his words, at least how I interpret them. I just thought you were not knowing male default.

Other than that, I think we can and should try getting languages more and more to genderless state, but I think forcing it is not the way. (German in my case).

What people often forget, is that languages are always in change and adapting; always have and always will be.

I do my part on adapting language around me by preferring genderless while I talk and write; you get used to it pretty fast. And when you hear children talking, you recognise that they are on it too. Just don’t blame others for still using default male, I agree on that, as this only generates unnecessary conflict and hardening of sites.

Society should always stay fluid, in my opinion, or else we get to a fascist society pretty fast.

Yeah i agree, language shouldn't be forced nor people should be insulted for it. I am happy you understand this unlike another user
