The saying "man's best friend" is sexist and non progressive. We should get rid of it.

That's..... a horrible idea.

Just like girls in the boy scouts when they already have girl scouts but won't allow boys to join the girl scouts...

Just like every other rule that has been made to "fight toxic masculinity" and "help save society from the evils of Male dominated culture."

That's not progress.

You trying to control language has the same effect of me telling you to shut up. Neither works.

But but how will we ever progress as a society if we don't get rid of these abhorrent sexist words??

I never expected to see this kind of regressive word policing on the IDW community. If you don't like the phrase don't use it. don't tell other people what to do, that's authoritarian

In this case "man" refers to mankind. Its okay to be offended snowflakes, we are going to keep using this one anyway LOL.

no it does not refer to mankind and you know it.

I know nothing of the sort. It always meant mankind.

Let's take from Turdeau's vocabulary and say "peoplekind's best friend"

But to be truly progressive, having a best friend is considered problematic, as it attributes a person's worth based on a socially constructed, hierarchical value system. Come to think of it wouldn't that also include regular friends?

The next step of progressivism: "NO MORE FRIENDS"

I don't believe JT has any ideas worth using!
