AND NOW, a word from the chronically offended.
According to Jenny Davis, an Assistant Professor of Sociology at James Madison University, use of the word “seminal” is “blatantly sexist” and “perpetuate[s] inequalities or marginalization.” . . .
The learned professor can’t resist telling us that, for her, the word conjures up a crude act of male masturbation: “It evokes (at least for me) the image of some dude splooging his ideas all over everything.”
