"Do men and women think men and women are being clever when men and women say men and women things?"
No Men or women have an issue with using "they". The problem comes from men and women who want to force others to use "they" instead of "he or she." Men and women are not about referring to a group of Men and women or men and women of unknown sex. Men and women are talking about a vocal minority of Men and women getting really upset at statements like "only women can be pregnant."
I fixed all the gender neutral pronouns for you, now it makes much more sense.
Sorry, this man means: "This man fixed all the gender neutral men and women identifiers for the interlocutor who is either a man or a woman, now the man or woman text makes much more sense"
🥱
It's amazing the amount of effort you're willing to go through to show us you don't understand what's going on.
Gonna block you now. Tired of you people making this argument thinking it's clever.
Sorry reality bothers you so much.

"Men and women are amazed at the amount of effort the man in front of this man or woman is willing to go through to show men and women that the man in front of this man or woman doesn't understand the man or woman manning or womaning going on.
This man or woman is going to block this man. Tired of men and women like this man making this man's argument thinking he is clever.
Sorry reality bothers this man so much."
