Ten or twenty years ago, this would have been a normal common reaction; and the propaganda would have been abnormal.
The media discovered in the 1960s that they could normalize anything. I was there. It started with the early squawk-outs of the modern woman's movement. They decided to force everyone not to use Mrs. and Miss but instead to use Ms. That was the beginning of everything we see today. When it started, I thought "There is no way people will be stupid enoough to use Ms." I was wrong. The media started to hammer us on a daily basis, over and over and over. They kept it up for months, and sure enough, people started to use the term Ms. The media won, sanity lost. And it's been that way ever since with one thing after another. The media overlords decide to make a word forbidden, or to create a new nonsense word, and they push it until it is accepted. They have done the same thing with degrading social morals. Push, push, push, until they get what they want. It's like a drug for them.
I wasn't even aware there was controversy over Ms. On the surface it doesn't seem like a big deal. If you don't know the status of a woman just use Ms. As I grew up in a time when such honorifics seemed quaint and archaic, I didn't give it much thought.
So I did a search aaaaaaand....
“Mx.” was added to Merriam-Webster Unabridged in 2016 (though it appeared in print as early as the late ’70s.) The honorific functions as a gender-neutral alternative to titles like “Mr.” and “Ms.” And—similar to “Ms.”—it doesn’t indicate marital status.
Oh for fuck's sake...
Absolute propaganda machine and so effective. It's scary
Ineteresting info.
I have only recently started to clue in to how much of human conciousness is controlled by media. Their control is astonishingly powerful.
It's not the 'media'. The media are simply a tool of...those, driving social change. They've known about these techniques long before the 60s. The 60s just happened to be when they decided the cultural revolution took place. The pill was key in this.
Edward Bernays First head of CBS published the book PROPAGANDA in 1928. Its ALL about this. Here's a quote from the KIKE who's Uncle was Freud.
"Propaganda is controlling how the public SEES a business, group or idea. Understanding propaganda will help you better understand democracy and human nature. And you'll learn to USE propaganda to spread your ideas and build a professional reputation to attract more business." 1928.
