i think i talked about this before but i had an interesting conversation with my ex about gender neutral words. It was about how they thought that the use of "BROTHERS!" in some old marxist leninist propaganda was inherently patriarchal but I always saw it as transcending gender and being more of a human thing. I think maybe my opinion has changed on this particular issue. I don't know though.

@Mahaer_Mahmud yeah but the fact that "man" is the gender neutral term is inherently patriarchal in itself, we should try to use gender neutral alternatives as much as we can imo
