Members Mark L Posted August 16, 2017 Members Share Posted August 16, 2017 As we all know there's a move toward gender-neutrality. There will be no more boys, girls, men or women. Everyone will be described as a 'person of neutral gender', or some other such term will be applied Therefore, I'm assuming that non-gender-neutral song titles will have to be changed to comply with this progression in human-kind So what have you got? I'll start with the Thin Lizzy classic - The Young Persons of Neutral Gender are Back in Town. Might be a bit of a mouthful to sing, though... By the way, we'll be discussing this at The Asylum, too. By all means pop along: http://amusicforum.createaforum.com/the-asylum/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doors; I'm a Back door gender nuetral entity. Paul's Dad didn't like the 'Yeah, yeah, yeah' refrain, did he? He thought it was 'too American'. He said he preferred 'Yes, yes, yes' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nat whilk II Posted August 16, 2017 Members Share Posted August 16, 2017 If gender stereotypes hinder or hurt someone, I'll all for avoiding the stereotypes. But the notion that the very idea of gender IS a stereotype at all times....not even the bulk of gender scholars and sociologists take that route to my knowledge. It's a quandry, 'tho, because gender is fundamentally a social construct, but some factions of the leading edge seem to think you should invent or mix and match or simply choose your own gender as another form of self-expression. And there's the paradox that, to be gender-neutral, you have to position yourself right in that tiny ambiguous space between the socially-accepted standard genders. So your gender-neutral position is totally defined by the gender lines. It's a neat trick, but it's no way to find yourself, as you're really defining yourself in reaction to practically everyone else. I don't think there's any other issue going where the conversation is more confusing, contradictory, uninformed, conflated, and touchy. Maybe a lot more science and a few more generations and massively better education will be needed to really sort this one out. I suspect this current fascination with the topic will burn itself out before long, as all the conversations lead to quagmires and hopelessly confused politics. I have no solution, that's for sure. nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nat whilk II Posted August 17, 2017 Members Share Posted August 17, 2017 so...does all THAT ^ mean you aren't going to share a song? I'm betting you must be a 'hoot' at parties...:-) Yeah, I know, I can be too serious. It's just that I'm around millenials quite a bit, and man, I can tell you, they would totally freeze at the idea of having a round of jokes at the expense of some side of the gender debate. So since they are the future and I'm not...it's my go-to response to think of how they feel about things as opposed to how my generation feels about things. I'll be funny later nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
