OOC: Howabout, instead, we just teach everyone that discrimination is wrong and that people can be different from you, without it making them any worse or better? You know, the sane way?
And before you rant much on gender being an issue, I'd like to point out that I'm transgender, in the actual RL, and am very very well aware of the issues. Trying to delete all mentions of she/he from text books is not the way to deal with bullying and discrimination. (I would support a-gendered toilets, though, as long as people with penises could be made to pee sitting down.)
Additionally, what the hell does "Gender studies as a liberal arts subject" mean? As in, what is "liberal arts"? And if it's actually art, what do gender studies have to do with it? And what is even meant by "gender studies"?
Asking OOCly, because ICly, with Araraukar basically using Finnish as a language, the she/he problem doesn't exist (no gendered pronouns), anti-bullying and anti-discrimination measures are taught to kids from kindergarten onwards, and thus much of this wouldn't make sense.
