Dinosaur, post 2

And now for the big question:



Dinosaur or Cleopatra?

I was talking to my mother last Friday after taking a shower and the conversation went a little like this:

Rachel: This head towel thing makes me feel like a Dinosaur.

Gwen: You look more like Cleopatra.

Rachel: Cleopatra? She didn't go around with towels on her head, did she?

Gwen: I don't know... someone back then did I'm sure.

So which is it? You be the judge.

Cleopatra

I also agree with T-Rex. I don't buy into the whole theory that gender neutrality in language will lead to more gender equality (Chinese patriarchal society and female infanticide debunks this pretty well I think), but I enjoy using they as a third person singular just as a matter of convenience.
