  Someone is off their meds.

  Your degree is in HIS-story HIS being the prefix you’re choosing to use.

  Imagine thinking that this is a valid argument - that “choosing” to use the world History makes me sexist, because history has His in it, so I must accept all the sexist stereotypes that have occured in HIS-tory. Or maybe I’m sexist because I won’t call it Herstory?

  The word history originates from the Ancient Greek historia, meaning “inquiry,” “knowledge acquired by investigation,” or “account of one’s inquiries”.

  So you see, the word history has nothing to do with gender, just because it has the letters H-I-S in it. It isn’t derived from anything to do with gender or sex, and trying to attach those meanings to it thousands of years after the fact isn’t just poor scholarship, it’s the sign of a really STUPID person.

  I’ve got an idea, let’s change the subject, and argue about whether antiHIStamines are Lesbian, and if men should be allowed to take them.

      Young man? Closing on an attempted compliment, well done. Wrong about everything else, though, and since calling out my age probably wasn’t a compliment, my age, too.

      Don’t be looking out for any party invitations from me. I like my parties to be fun.

  Do you have problems with the word “this”? How about a big one like “histogram”? Ooo how about the band Phish? Just because h, i, and s are in a row doesn’t mean it’s white male centric. That’s literally just meme shitposting material and dumb as fuck.
