Title: Giving hurricanes female names is a sign of the patriarchy.
Post by: Daddy on October 28, 2012, 06:13:56 PM
Giving hurricane female names implies that women are some bad, destructive force to be feared.  We must stop this misogyny.

also giving them male names would imply that men are powerful and this is also wrong because it makes women feel weak.
