The same statement is true for my native language, French, where I'll never use the "écriture inclusive" bullshit except to mock it. Luckily the Académie is with me on this one.

And that master thing is really stupid, like every population has been enslaved at some point, the word comes from the romans, and it's not like anyone is promoting slavery by saying their master branch dominate their slave branches in git. We also still enslave animals and we can say "human friend" instead of "master" to indicate your relationship with your dog, you're still not asking him for tax advices.
And should we stop saying Maitresse for kids' teachers as well to avoid remiding everyone of slavery...
Waitaminute, is "powder keg" still an allowable metaphorical term? Powder keg was a central tool of colonialism and racism in the 19th century. Cancel it?
