How can we get such a drab response from a member of the
linguistically oppressed majority?

	"i dont have any strong feelings on the matter..."

Sadly, this is just another of the personifold personifestations
of the control our sexist language exerts on us.  A truly
lapersontable phenopersonon: a normally argupersontative
woperson whipped into submission.

Alas/Alad!  This is indeed a sad compersontary on our depersonted
society and on the fundapersontal cultural fragpersontation
caused by gendervolent megalopersoniacs who have persondated our
nopersonclature over thousands of years.

There is only one solution: an personcott of such inhupersone words.

Inevitably, some will charge we are persongling the Royal Person's English.
"Ah," they will depersond, "where is the euphony, the ropersonce?"
What a pile of personure!
Do they think words are invented for ornapersontation?
