Once women are not excluded, I don't think any of us will give a damn what pronouns are used. That wasn't the point.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've been surprised at the number of people who were really angry that I tried to convey gender neutrality by using a gendered pronoun.
If we do no mean that God is male when we use masculine pronouns and imagery, then why should there be any objections to using female imagery and pronouns as well?
Why does everyone cling to the masculine imagery and pronouns even though they are a mere linguistic device that has never meant that God is male?
Pronouns really don't matter in a song - 'I' or 'he' or 'she' or even subscribing a lyric to an inanimate object.
Women don't have to be defined by others. We have the power to define ourselves: by telling our own stories, in our own words, with our own voices.
We live in a patriarchal culture. It's okay for women to be objectified but not for men.
So women are at the beginning of building a language, and not all women are conscious of it.
I don't see gender as the most significant fact of human existence.
Women can really be who they are. I'm about to say the F word, feminist. Often that word has such a negative connotation.
The Constitution did not mention women when it was first written, and it still doesn't.
