    Swedes add the word ‘hen’ to dictionary

    The Swedish Academy's official dictionary has added a gender-neutral pronoun to its arsenal of words.
    "Hen" is the new pronoun to be affixed when a gender is not known, or is in transition, or when the writer deems gender to be irrelevant.

        I'm all for gender equality and equal pay for equal work and all that stuff but Sweden is dangerously on course to politically correct itself off the map.

        For those of you in the "older" age category that might not be keeping up, a bunch of childish 14 year olds and EXTREMELY childish 20-30 year olds are on a tirade about "feminism" I put the word in quotes because it has nothing to do with woman's rights. It is nothing but a bunch of cry babies complaining that their womens history degrees don't earn as much as their engineering counterparts. They complain to game developers, magazine editors, and anyone else whenever an attractive woman is created, or displayed because its "unrealistic" despite the fact that it actually exists.

        They bombard and try to publicly humiliate anyone who has the audacity to look like an attractive person. They shame people for "fat shaming" aka pointing out obese people's immediate health concerns. They come up with insane new "genders" such as "demisexual" "pansexual" "squirrelkin" and then go on to insist that people "learn their pronouns." They claim to develop PTSD by people...clapping, disagreeing with their opinions, or proving their facts wrong. They publicly encourage the castration of "cis straight white privileged males."

        The list can go on and on but they have apparently gotten to the point of convincing the swedish language to adopt "gender neutral" terms. Sure if something can't be identified or "there isn't a purpose" i get it...but it's building to their ultimate goal....making you learn that this "pansexual genderfluid toaster with dual intake valves" wants to be referred to as "hen" and "hen's" friend who happens to be a "bigendered, asexual dogkin" likes to be referred to as dog/dogself/dog. Then if you get it wrong or call that "person" dude or girl or his or her they will say you raped them and then throw a fit when the police ask for more details.

        The majority of you snusoners....be glad you are old and have lived life.....I will most likely spend at least the next 80 years with these asshats.
