Reply #27: It's a total shame

That some people not only like to use sexist language, but insist on getting defensive about it. :(

They are so absolutely perfect that how dare you ask for even basic courtesy if it might interfere with their choice of vocabulary!

There is a basic contradiction here. They seem to imply that language has no real power, so you're getting upset over nothing. But then they're insisting on using specific language because it has powerful meanings. So of course, the final message is "SFTU and leave my prejudices alone."
