What Are Your Pronouns?

I like hardware stores, they are to men what jewelry stores are to woman, with some exceptions of course.   I like taking language right to the edge, so close that one could be labelled, but that would never ruin my day.  I have been told that it is mean.  So what?  Words are not sticks, they are words, they have meaning.  What are your pronouns?                                                                                                                          

Take the word misogynist.  It is a relatively new word, created in 1974 supposedly, by some woman wanting woman’s issues to be distinct from racial interests.  And why not?  There are so many causes, so many injustices, the level of inequity rises each day to new heights, so create a word.   

Apparently, misogynist has its roots in the Greek language.  Greeks were the original white guys that wore tunics with no underwear, that role now belongs to the Taliban as keg parties have been outlawed on college campuses due to the WuFlu and the new DehliFlu variant.    The syllable “miso” means to hate, it is not a Japanese soup.  The “gynist” means woman, not the doctors’ practice. Anyway, you have the word Woman Haters, which does not sound as serious as misogynist; now that sounds serious, worse than a stick. 

Personally, I grew up watching the finest educational films of all time.  One of the greatest was The Three Stooges in a short called Woman Haters.  The entire short was one continuous rhyme, done in the cadence of slap-stick humor.  As kids we laughed, heck, as an adult I laugh.  And when one hears or reads the word misogynist, you should laugh as well, for there is no epidemic of misogynists, except possibly in Afghanistan.   

Words have meanings, the more syllables in a word, the darker the meaning.  Take the 1970’s word “islamophobia”.   That 6-syllable word packs some punch.  Again, the dudes with no underwear are credited with the phobia part, the fear of something, possibly wearing underwear.  And then there is the word Islam, brought nicely together with phobia using the Hispanic word-coupler – “o”.  There is power in that created word.  I have a new word – deepstateophobia.   What could be more serious than the fear of one’s own government?

It is far more serious fearing one’s own government each day, than worrying about what you may be called; the former is a stick, the latter is simply a word. However, in today’s world, a certain segment of society demand labels, it gives them power.  Labels are like uniforms, without the waste of cloth and dyes.  If you receive the wrong label, regardless of your actions, you can be in serious trouble.  

Do you want proof?  Perhaps hundreds of Americans who were invited into the Capital building, our building, were labelled insurrectionists – the word, and they still rot in jail – the stick.

Which brings me back to the hardware store.  I was talking to an employee, who knew me well, when a new Tesla drove up and parked.  Out steps this young man, proper and confident, proud that he was saving the environment.  As he walked past me, I nodded and asked how he liked his “coal-powered” vehicle.  

He stopped, turned, and said, “It is not coal powered, it is battery powered!”   “Oh,” I said, “I have a question, you do realize that it takes me 5 minutes to fill my gas tank and I am ready for another 550-miles, but what do you do for 10-hours as your battery is re-charging from some coal-powered plant on the grid so that you can drive another 300-miles?”  

He said that was not an issue any longer because he had installed a high-speed battery charger which completed the task in less than one-hour.  “In fact,” he said, “I am saving energy!”   

“How is that?” I replied.  “Well,” he continued, “I am only using 10% of the power to charge the battery.”   I looked at him and said, “Do you really believe that?  Power is based on time?”  He nodded his head and said, “Yes I do, I get the job done in 1-hour, so I am saving 90% of the energy.”

There are times when you want to yell “Idiot with money!”, but what good would that do?  I simply said, “You need to get your parents tax money back from that government school education provided by those union employees, because quite frankly, they have failed you terribly.”

As I turned to talk with the store employees, and laugh, he said “So what are your Pronouns?”

I ‘re-imagine’ that in today’s world, the gauntlet had been thrown down, figuratively, I had been slapped across the face, I had been challenged to a duel!   

I turned and looked at him and stated “I have two pronouns…  F__Y__ and E__S___.”  He looked at me and said “What?”  Again, I stated as all employees within earshot turned away laughing, “I have two pronouns… F__Y__ and E__S___ .”  

He looked at me stating, “You can’t talk to me like that!”  I responded, “I am not talking to you, you asked what my pronouns were, and I told you.  I have two pronouns and they are F__Y__ and E__S___.”    

He stammered, “But those are not PRONOUNS!”  I looked at him and stated, “I have learned from the progressive marxist liberal democrats that the meaning of words can be changed to fit any narrative necessary, so I changed the definition of what pronouns can be.  I have two pronouns… F__Y__ and E__S___ Got it?”

What could he say, what could he do?  He simply turned and left the store without saying goodbye or purchasing any items.  

And the moral of the story?  Stand your ground, as they re-define words, call them out.  As they accuse you of untrue deeds and desires, do not even answer the accusation, simply state that “the premise of your statement is absolutely garbage and does not justify any answer.”  And then go on the verbal attack.  Have a smile and know that you are on the right side of history.

Words are not sticks.  Words have meanings.
