"Amen" is a "gendered" word?
-
"Amen" and "Awomen" are both confused. "A" denotes singular but "men" and "women" are plural. It makes no sense putting "A" together with "men" or "women." Henceforth, let's just go with "Aperson".

Just when you thought that this forum couldn't get more "Ax-ey," you're proven wrong.

I noted a major problem.
"Woman" also contains the word "man". Iterating the above substitution process yields wowoman, wowowoman etc.
I believe the only rescue from this problem is to use some linguistic fixed point combinator, like μX.woX, that stands for the infinite expansion "wowowowowo..." of the above process.

What about the electoral womandate to remove gerrywomandering, or is that a womanufactured call for ewomancipation from a noncomforwomance that doesn't comwomand respect?

I'm tempted to write a browser plugin that replaces every occurence of "man", regardless of context, by "woman". Shouldn't be hard.

You will run afoul of transgender men, born as women, who attempt to describe themselves. Your plan is deeply immoral.

I mentioned what you said, and a friend of mine told me about a famous track runner name Tyson Gay (I think)
Anyway, some Christian website would automatically change the word “gay” on any news article on its website to “homosexual” so when this man was running and there was news about him, it would automaticllay come out as “Tyson Homosexual”. 555
