I'm also intrigued by Cofty's refusal to use Ms: are there others that find this unacceptable?

Free Speech - Jordan Peterson Debate Live 9:30 EST Saturday
by cofty inprofessor jordan peterson of the university of toronto will be streaming a live debate on his youtube channel on the topic of free speech and "bill c-16".. if you haven't heard (where have you been?
) peterson has been making waves by opposing the demands of pc "social justice warriors" at the u of t to use their chosen gender neutral pronouns.
in his judgement proposed "bill-c16" will make his non-compliance illegal - an egregious threat to free speech.. professor peterson is an intelligent and thoughtful academic who has found himself at the focus of attacks from the neo-marxists that are dominating the conversation at elite universities.

It's bizarre fixation they have.
The cure, like many things, will probably be hanging out with someone that they think is the monstrous threat to civilisation because of an alternative pronoun only to discover they are just as dull as them. But with a different pronoun.

As it appears no one on this thread has actually ever met someone who has asked to be addressed by another pronoun than he or she it seems the chances of criminalisation are zero.
unless Mx Cofty is really hanging out with the "poseurs" but wants to keep it a secret....

Cofty , I've asked you this before but you've never answered: have you met anyone in real life that has asked you to use a different pronoun from the one you expect?
(intrigued you've never used Ms, have you known the first name and marital status of every woman you've ever been in contact with?)

edited to add: in my work I never use Mrs in correspondence unless asked to.

Do you remember when some women asked to be called Ms? The sky fell down then too.

Election Post-Mortem
by Simon ini'm sure many people, republicans included, are shocked at the results of the 2016 presidential election.
really, wtf!.
the polls were wrong and although it's tempting to blame voter suppression and fbi interference, that would just avoid looking at the real issues for the loss.

The only positives I can think of right now is at least some of the PC nonsense might be trashed
Such as? And how?

I'd tell her that while her decision makes you sad, it is her choice and that your door will always be open to her if she ever has a change of heart.

I provided two examples from this thread of calls for greater restrictions on freedom of religion.
Which occured after your initial comment. Which still leaves the question why you made your initial post when no one had suggested that free speech should be quashed?
