    Sometimes I wonder if all the people (six by now, and two on my other reply in this thread) who are downvoting my two fairly respectful (at least trying to be respectful to the OP) counter-arguments are, deep inside, machistas/misogynists, downvoting me because I dared to remind people that there are feminine Goddesses and I dared to mention some of Their names… Your people’s current lack of counter-counter-arguments doesn’t convince me otherwise.

      Dude, sometimes people talk in, like, a casual way and don’t attach two extra paragraphs to explain that they were using the word “god” in a gender neutral way even though it has a masculine form.

      You then writing a diatribe about it doesn’t convince anybody. And in the end it actually hurts our case because it brings to mind and reinforces that awful stereotype of the bitter, over reactive SJW.

        Oh, and since this seems to be the space you’re working in:

        I did use Dude in a gendered way there because I assume from your preachiness that you’re Male. Women tend to be less preachy/overexplainer in my experience. If I happen to be wrong, apologies, I’ll edit it if/once you clarify.
