This cycle’s “new pronouns” bit really missed any reference to the debut of “Ms.” as the new woke honorific last cycle

OR the 70s “rejecting your slave name” black nationalist renaming (like reference baptism or so many coming-of-age cycles around *renaming*)

Or the ‘80s-90s wives keeping/hyphenating their names thing

All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again
