Quote from Neil Postman,


"Make no mistake about it:
the labeling of someone’s language as ‘sexist’
involves a political judgment and implies
the desirability of a particular sociological doctrine.
One may be in favor of that doctrine (as I believe I am)
but it is quite another matter to force writers
by edicts and censorship into accepting it."
