    Your degree is in HIS-story. HIS being the prefix you’re choosing to use. It’s blatantly sexist by ignoring the plight women have suffered throughout time. Classic white savior tactic. Obfuscate the truth to push a racist narrative. You really think things would be better if the south won? Why would you even imply something like that?

      Someone is off their meds.

      Your degree is in HIS-story HIS being the prefix you’re choosing to use.

      Imagine thinking that this is a valid argument - that “choosing” to use the world History makes me sexist, because history has His in it, so I must accept all the sexist stereotypes that have occured in HIS-tory. Or maybe I’m sexist because I won’t call it Herstory?

      The word history originates from the Ancient Greek historia, meaning “inquiry,” “knowledge acquired by investigation,” or “account of one’s inquiries”.

      So you see, the word history has nothing to do with gender, just because it has the letters H-I-S in it. It isn’t derived from anything to do with gender or sex, and trying to attach those meanings to it thousands of years after the fact isn’t just poor scholarship, it’s the sign of a really STUPID person.

      I’ve got an idea, let’s change the subject, and argue about whether antiHIStamines are Lesbian, and if men should be allowed to take them.

      Oh, yeah, I just can’t let that last one go. How does acknowledging that the Union Army was 90% white, a simple historical fact, imply that I wanted the South to win? That was obviously some attempt at an insult, but it didn’t work.

      You’re telling me what you think I need to work on, so I’ll suggest that you really need to learn about Critical Thinking Skills. Because you don’t have any, and I doubt that you’ve ever been heard the term.
