The ‘Anti-wokers’ Don’t Know What a Pronoun Is: Episode 247 – Lavern Spicer edition
The humble pronoun has become a popular weapon in the culture war, with the ‘anti-woke’ warriors refusing to use they/them pronouns and objecting strongly to anyone expressing a preference between he/him and she/her.
It also looks like they don’t actually know what a pronoun is.
Reclaim Party leader Martin Daubney took exception to Kamala Harris sharing her preferred pronouns before a meeting, resulting in this head-scratcher.
Lauren Boebert displayed her usual razor-sharp wit with this announcement.
And failed Republican congressional candidate Lavern Spicer was understandaby panned for this nugget.
Sadly, she didn’t learn her lesson, because this happened.
Tweeters pointed out her error. Several times.

Personally *I* think if *you* use a pronoun, *you* should be locked up. If *I* was in charge, *I* would definitely ban *you* and everyone else from using pronouns, simply because it would be hilarious to see *you* trying to construct a sentence without them. Do *you* agree?

Seriously? You're never ever going to say "him", "her", "someone", "this", "those", "each", "myself", "everyone", "who", "which" or "that" again? Are you SURE?
You mean "preferred pronouns", you desperate MAGA hack. Try this tweet yet again. Third time's the charm. https://t.co/bKrrokrbgi

Ms Spicer may not have won her election, but she could get a consolation prize.
OK, so we’re thinking of setting up a Total Seasons Award Night for ‘Dumbest Tweets of the Year’. We’ll call it ‘The Rudys’.
Here’s the first nomination, and boy will this be hard to beat. https://t.co/NbcwPeUfOR
