gender bias and language Lief Hendrickson chooses to discuss and which
portions he simply ignores. I would merely point out in response that
language is not subject to "coercive redefinition" by me or any individual.
We do not live in a world of Red Queens or Newspeak. But neither can
language be preserved in amber to serve particular social, political, or
psychosexual needs.
