This shit started when people were told they had to call men and women "chairs." I remember it well. No more "Mr. Chairman" at meetings, and God forbid you even think of using "Mrs. Chairwoman." You're dead meat if you do that. No, you've got to call them "chairs." They are human beings, but you must call them "chairs." After that, any degree of stupidity or insanity was possible.
According to some we're not even people but legal fiction
