I'm wishing all my Jewish friends a happy Hanukkah. And because it never gets old, no matter what your religion is,
The Hanukkah Song.
Meanwhile, I have a question for you. When speaking of, say, a hat or scarf that could easily be worn by either male or female, do you call it a unisex hat or scarf, or is it a gender neutral hat or scarf? Or would you call it something else entirely?
I ask because I've always said unisex, but I was recently reading a forums post where the issue was being
discussed argued. Several people felt that the term "unisex" was disrespectful & insulting. In fact, the conversation had become so heated & insulting, I chose not to take part in it. But it got me thinking. Am I really that old & out of touch with things? How is calling
this hat, for example, a "unisex hat" disrespectful & insulting? I don't understand. Keeping in mind I'm talking about things, apparel items for the most part, not people, what is so wrong with the word "unisex"?
If you have opinions on this, please share in the comments. I'd really like to know. But please, be respectful & use your inside voice. Don't yell at me, teach me.
