It doesn't help that most 3-D movies are action movies and are full of fast cuts.

The problem with 3-D movies and games is that you don't control what your eyes focus on, the director does.

I agree with much of this, but I'd add that even the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising wasn't particularly well-armed, and that a large-scale organized revolt is impossible without weapons.

The question is about who determines what words mean, and the prescriptivist view would posit that authorities do.

One of the commentators on Canuck or Opie (can't remember which) suggests it's time to abandon the term 'feminism' for reasons I can't be arsed parsing but there is a serious point there: if feminism is simply the proposition that women are people too then how can pregnant men be a feminist issue?

The descriptivists and the prescriptivists are in pretty much agreement as to whether women get pregnant.

Lousy Canuck: The demand to say “women” instead of “pregnant people” is offensive because it actually removes several sets of people from the scope of the question, and includes one major scope of people who shouldn’t be there. First, you lose anyone who isn’t a woman who has the functional reproduc...
