This is kind of extreme. Lady Antebellum

They changed their band's name due to "Antebellum" having a slavery association.

Uh, I’m offended by the use of the term “Lady”
Jun 12, 2020, 7:42 AM

and the implications of both a binary gender structure AND a predetermined hierarchy of the worth of qualities found in the females of the human race, if “female” were a thing.

I mean... the word refers to an era? I don’t understand the issue. I’m clearly not at this level of woke.

Does it? I guess they wouldn't like that time period, but I didn't really think it was a term anyone would ever really think about. Should the Dixie Chicks change their name too? Seems like Dixie would be a more recognized word.

Who knows. I have altered my default position...

On these type things to “neutral” .... in the past I use to think the focus on names, symbols, historical context was kind of overblown or even silly.
Apparently these things carry a lot of meaning to others and don’t have significant meaning or impact to me. So in consideration of others, I have evolved to OK that’s cool. I’ll have another cup of coffee or beer and move on.

A-word

[ in reply to to “Lady A” no less ] |

thats the acceptable use and you can't refer to the band or the era when you said A-word. Consider your context when using it.
