"You can please some of the people all of the time, or all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time."

Somehow, that quote seems remarkably appropriate right now.

I still say the programmers should remove all gender-specific words from the ebots and replace them with "it's".

That way, you don't have one gender crying discrimination, because both genders are being discriminated.

And then we can all bitch about the asexual ebots and not being able to tell what the gender of a person here is (not that it's obvious who's male and who's female anywhay).

:tt2:
