@lowqualityfacts Isn't 'were able to take a bus to work' a better joke? (Can't read his mind, but he may well hate the idea of public/collective transport - not least because it can be empowering, not demeaning) #languagematters

@boldnewme.bsky.social nailed it;‬ #LanguageMatters "Men impregnate women", "semen fertilize eggs" are disgusting secretions.

Great post by Nnamdi Obi on X focusing on the language used by the West when talking about the Global South:
