today in sexist dictionaries

So, I was reading through the dictionary sexistionary and discovered that "man" is listed before "woman."

Man is listed before woman.

MAN. IS. LISTED. BEFORE. WOMAN.

WTF. DIARRHEA TEARS your transparent sexism, misogynist alphabet! Words have meanings, and your alphabet affects people. This is why I started boycotting dictionaries before I even learned how to write.

I. JUST. CAN'T. EVEN.

    Hey, lexicographers: Intent isn't magic!
    Intent. Isn't. MAGIC.

    [Content note: difficulty in pronunciation, question]

    AROTE, Judith. Can you please tell me how to pronounce sexistionary? I'm having difficulty pronouncing it.

      Are you serious? Use a fucking dictionary (while also boycotting it). It's not my job to look up the pronunciation of made up words for you. This comment basically makes you the worst human being that has ever commented here.
