Rewiring The American Mind
The government of Wisconsin sees certain words as offensive. So do I. But their list and mine are not the same. Theirs includes some notorious ones like, “mother” and “husband.” In a proposed Wisconsin statute, Governor Tony Evers wants to replace the word “mother” with “inseminated person” and “father” with “spouse.” “If I called my mother an inseminated person, she'd probably slap me for good reason,” said State Senator Andre Jacque. He went on to say that it was the best example of “woke virtue signaling” that he has seen. The idea is to make the word “mother” more “inclusive.” But for a word to have meaning, other meanings are, by necessity, excluded.
