Also wonder what the anti-woke word for child bride is given that WV is one of the few states that aggressively permits that shit. Junior woman of married status? Provisional adult? 🤔
?? WV is shitty for a lot of reasons, including this bill (seriously, there are more important things to deal with than being upset someone called it "chestfeeding" instead of "breastfeeding").
But marriage in WV is 18+, 16+ if the person and their parents both sign paperwork to approve, and their spouse is no more than 4 years older than them. I wouldn't call that aggressively permitting child brides, not compared to say California which technically has no hard minimum age of marriage unless they've changed the law in the last few years.
Literally all the terms have to do with pregnancy, breastfeeding, or menstruation. Like "birth-giver" is banned and the replacement word is "woman."
Also it's very odd seeing official government documents refer to words as woke, as if it has a standard agreed upon definition. The bill goes on to specify that the banned terms are sexist and exclusionary (lmao republicans worried about being sexist in a state that completely bans abortion). I can't stop thinking about how that one DeSantis admin person had to define wokeness to a federal judge and the best they could come up with is "a belief that society is unfair and that it should change."
Wtf they literally just destroyed their flagship university, one of the few things they still had going for them. Do they want more brain drain? Because it’s already been happening for a while. Pretty soon there won’t be any people left.
"Huh I wonder why hate speech got banned in California! It clearly couldn't have been because we set a precedent of banning words just because they annoy us."
