Washinton Examiner: Just before 6:00 Monday night, Occupy D.C. protesters at McPherson Square gathered for their nightly general assembly… The protesters have agreed upon 16 guidelines. Guideline number 10 reads, “Don’t assume gender. When possible, go with gender-neutral pronouns.” To keep the noise level down, protesters use hand signals instead of vocal commands to demonstrate opinion. “Twinkle fingers,” performed by wiggling fingers at ear level, shows approval. Protesters agreed that the de-escalation committee would seek non-violent methods to protest. They requested that the committee be diverse and specifically discouraged too much participation by white heterosexual males. During the final session reserved for comments, discussions became somewhat heated when a man stood and said through the “human mic,” “We are all God’s children. We should not label each other.” Another man responded, “Issues of inequality should be at the center of discussions.” A woman added, “Don’t mention God. It makes me feel like I have to hide my agnostic beliefs.”
By 7:00 p.m. the meeting was adjourned, and protesters slowly dispersed. (LOL) (Emphasis & laughter mine)
Took these dipsh1ts an hour to wrap it up? What’s so complicated? For 99% of us (see what I just did?), if you have a c0ck and b@lls, you’re male. Vag and flume? You’re female. If you’re Chas Bono, you’re off Dancing With The Stars, because you’re horrible at dancing with stars. Boom, labeling done, meeting adjourned. Go. Home.
