@averagejoe1 saidWe've already switched over to spouse in our legal stuff here, saves a lot of kerfuffle because ordinary people don't marry much these days - and if they do, the kids come to the wedding. Husband and wife concepts (and for that matter, master and slave ones) are pretty irrelevant in the 21st century, don't you think? Very few females get to stay out of the workforce nowadays, and most of the couples I know share responsibilities.

And you people will say not one negative statement about this attack on our 10,000 year old language. i.e, they want to to remove husband and wife and use spouse.

@kewpie saidYou suggest then, that I might introduce my wife as my spouse, and not as my wife? 'How do you do, George. May I introduce my spouse, Mary?'

@averagejoe1 saidNext step would be to rewrite the bible and remove those words as well. Then they will eventually remove man and woman. Next all words like he, and she ... Lol. The New LGB Bible, in about 10 yrs will be hilarious. Finally they will make all other bible versions illegal and possessing one will be a criminal act. ... Lol ... good stuff.

One is a man, the other is woman.
One is he and the other is she.
Your pretend marriages with two hes or two shes is nonsense.

1. Your language isn’t 10.000 years old.
2. There are many forms of living together as a family that don’t include being married.
3. I don’t give a damn.
4. Personally, if people want to be called husband and wife, fine by me!
This whole drive to get people to use certain language is completely nuts.
Even though I understand their sentiments (something different than agreeing with them), they’re just creating more friction and shooting past their goals.
I still believe you to be a petty moron though. So don’t worry.

@averagejoe1 saidNo stupid you can introduce your sister in anyway you like.
You suggest then, that I might introduce my wife as my spouse, and not as my wife? 'How do you do, George. May I introduce my spouse, Mary?'
But it saves a lot of effort if legal can use one word that covers every scenario. No one is banning words except you Republican phobes Joe.

You people are everywhere. Clogging the roads, making me stand in huge lines because you can never decide what you want until you're up to the counter. Shopping is a nightmare because if you change your mind, you never put stuff back where it belongs. Everything with you people is "me, me, me".

@moonbus saidYeah, I hate it that some links/articles are from FOX, but your media does not carry such stuff, and I have a duty to keep you apprised. I am quite confident that you did not know of this latest WOKE power grab till I showed it to you. Cool, huh?

You're welcome.
