Body Love Word Blank
I made this for the South Dakota National Organization for Women's Love Your Body Day Celebration. Enjoy, all!
The Universal "He" Just Isn't
Picture this: An overworked, vastly underpaid college
instructor unwinds by using Facebook to do what it does best: feature pictures
of cute animals. Up go pictures of her cats, of frolicking puppies, of pink,
besnouted piggy wiggies (squeeeeee!). All is happiness and wet noses in her
life… until. Until. Until someone calls an animal “he” without knowing its sex.
Contrary to people’s beliefs, approximately half of sexually dimorphic animalkind* isn’t male. Crazy but true. If all the animals called “he” were actually male, much of animalkind, including humans, would die out because there simply aren't enough females to reproduce the species.
“Oh, Elle, you wacky but lovable feminazi,” you say, “don’t you know ‘he’ is a gender-neutral pronoun? We learned in the fourth grade that ‘he’ is just as acceptable a gender placeholder as ‘man’ and ‘mankind’ are for ‘human.’ It has no bearing on gender or sex, you eccentric cutie pie.”
Yeah, except… it does have bearing on gender and sex. Stud…
