Don't Use Gendered Language (revisited)
Summary
Armstrong and Getty discuss a "parent fail" involving a missed school picture day before analyzing a 2019 DSA convention clip. They mock the attendees' intense focus on sensory accommodations, pronouns, and "points of privilege," characterizing the behavior as performative and absurd. The hosts joke about the irony of the group's rigid rules and suggest trolling future gatherings by mimicking their extreme sensitivities.
