New glossary updates 'outdated' terms like 'stay-at-home mom,' 'biological clock' and 'barren'
Yeah, that would be George 1984 Orwell, George7 Words You Can't Say on TV/Radio Carlin and Gallagher who is still Mad As H3ll
Also, has anyone else seen the commercial (I think I see it when I'm watching stuff on Pluto) from the VA? They're calling it "military s3xual trauma" -- so it sounds a bit like some poor GI Joe accidentally walked in on Duke and Lady Jane knocking boots in the supply closet -- rather than someone in uniform was raped while serving their country.
On the one hand, I can understand where the VA is coming from with this. Men can be forced as well, so the thought process might be this'll help them to report it and seek help.
But still, special snowflakes much some times?

What, seriously? How is 'reproductive struggles' descriptive? Sounds like a couple wrestling over whether or not they should have a baby. 'Geriatric Pregnancy' is funny since otherwise, these women wouldn't be close to being geriatric, but it does give the indication that maybe the eggs are closing in on their use-by date. As having been an occasional stay-at-home mom, 'full-time childcarer' sounds like someone hired in, not the mom. It's insulting. These better-than-thou sorts should keep their fanfic to themselves.

Not on this list, but in use now. You and I, as carriers of the XX Chromosome, are now "a person with a uterus"...

Just wait. Given the current talking points I've heard, we'll become 'bodies with a uterus'.
