They need to know what families being on the menu feels like.

They invaded Los Angeles this summer, left the oil. Invading Chicago right now.

Please put down the monkey's paw.

You're a very strange person with a very excellent cat.

I would never reduce you to just one thing you believe. I'm sure there's so much more to you than that.

It's not inherently bad. There are plenty of objects ive been very fond of over the years. None of them were cops, but, you know, stuffed animals, buildings, a pot that I bought in a shopping trip with someone I loved but had a really complicated relationship with and cooked a lot of meals with over the years. All properly 'it's, though i admit some of the stuffed animals did get gendered; I was a small child.

A cop is not a person. It can't be (safely) talked with, can't communicate honestly, does not have human compassion, does not self reflect, does not have capacity for critical thought in any way that matters. In both practical and philosophical terms–cops are missing some important parts of 'person'.

Some of the people who kill me in the water wars in a few years might be people(but who the fuck knows at this point). And I bet I'll want to kill them (for their water). The tankies who try to murder me if we pull off a revolution will probably be people (if its still soon enough that they don't have the cops do it). Cops are not people–if they were, they wouldn't be cops.

She is beautiful and perfect and correct. I have no idea how you can think a parasitic wasp is cuter than her.

Cops aren't people. I will not talk about a cop in such a way as to leave a reader with the impression it's a person–you can do that inclusive of gender in many languages. English is not one of them.

Unless you mean English. Then yes–absolutely weapon of the enemy, but I don't speak anything else well enough to get by.

That must be it. English doesnt really have simple ways to equate the cuteness of kitties and parasitic wasps such that kitties aren't obviously better.

It's a cop. Cops aren't people. Thus 'it'.

We do not typically gender objects in English.

In Spanish or French I would use the feminine singular form of whatever the fuck I was calling it. I am not speaking Spanish or French. I am speaking English. So I use 'it'.

Edit: I'm informed there is a specific term for female pig, 'sow'–which would also be correct but that has some misogynist connotations, and the correct pronoun remains 'it'.
