NPOV dispute

[edit]

The use of the third person neutral singular "it" instead of he, she, or they seems very unneutral to me. I suspect some of this should be rephrased and some deleted.

In the absence of a commonly accepted gender-neutral pronoun, "it" is not an entirely unreasonable approximation, nor is it unheard of to use "it" about a submissive partner in a relationship, although I agree that it doesn't fit with precedent on wikipedia (e.g. the guidelines about not writing about fictional works in an in-universe style).
Anyway, as far as I can tell, someone has rewritten it to plural "they", so I'm removing the tag.

Dehumanization and submission are two distinct things; "it" indicated dehumanization. --70.110.154.175 11:48, 17 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
