What Were Robespierre’s Pronouns?

The French Revolution was led by sociopaths who politicized language, much like today’s Jacobins.

Geesh - I found the article - not behind a  pay wall.

synopsis - a discussion about the social implications of gender based 'new speak' in contrast with the French Revolution.

I thought that this had already had its run-  come to find out its is still a 'thing'.
maybe i'm a dinosaur but isn't compelling 'right think' and 'right speak' straight out of Orwell's book 1984?
i can treat individuals as an individual (then i can make up my own mind on how to address people, places and things) - but forcing and coercing speech still seems wrong to me.

A U of Michigan student brilliantly blew this up when he selected his gender pronoun as "His Majesty".

Yes, Kbop, it's a bunch of politically correct bullshit.  At work we have a guy that's going through the transgender thing, going from man to woman.  I just call him by his last name, no pronouns.  And I've been told that I'm a dinosaur.  Every year we're mandated at work to complete a bunch of on-line courses teaching us how to think politically correct thoughts, and how to address all this bullshit...  Well this year I won't be completing those courses, I filed my retirement paperwork yesterday  :fuckYeah:

Just make sure you go by, drop trou and shine a great moon at the person who came up with that policy.

Congrats brother!
Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

    Thanks everyone, I didn't mean to derail the thread.  The PC bullshit has gotten to be too much, and I'm sure there's a lot of Americans who feel the same way.  It's interesting to note the blowback that Trump has gotten in regards to Baltimore.  From my brief visits to the city, I agree with him.  Trump is calling it like it is, and he's calling out Cummings.  Cummings is typical of the Democrats who call racism at the drop of a hat, but honestly, what has Cummings accomplished for his constituents?  The same applies to AOC, they remind me of my chickens who squawk and raise heck over minor things.
