When it comes to things like, say, gender neutral pronouns, the narrative is "It'll be good for everyone just trust us" and that argument holds as much objective weight as any other. The only evidence used in these cases is historical evidence, because it would be unethical to screw around with people just to test a hypothesis. Sometimes historical evidence is all you have to work with, because it's impossible to test a hypothesis at all in society outside of letting it happen organically without making it happen and hoping it doesn't screw everything up. But the people who push for gender neutral pronouns don't pretend like they are giving a scientific argument for it. --- http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg <cite>Anteaterking posted [p:895717332] in Jordan Pet...
