Angry Grasshopper:
Har har har.
snowballinhell7001:
It’s not funny. If we have Spivak, this is a logical next step.
Hix:
Excalabur:
besides, the thought of female actors getting hit with a paternity suit is amusing.
Kevan:
snowballinhell7001:
Hix: The -ed at the end of the “paternity-suited” implies that the Actor with this gossip story is the recipient of the suit.

Clucky:
Once I get two named roles, I’ll make sure I get both a female and a male part just to spite you and your so called genders.
Josh:

The Doctor:
Rule 2.1 says all actors are male anyway;
“Any Actor may add a new film and role to his Filmography”
So the nomic is already gender biased.
Edometheus:
Spivak makes me cringe on the inside. It’s creation was a sin against the English language. Regardless of the fact that the masculine form of pronouns is the default form for persons of unknown gender, there already existed a ways to write gender neutral: one, one’s, a person, a person’s, they, theirs, etc… Anyway, my gender is blue.
snowballinhell7001:
Doctor: If it makes you feel better, I’d have that gender-bias removed as well…
Edometheus:
IRONY ALERT: “It’s creation was a sin against the English Language” should read “Its creation was sin against the English language”. Lack of edit button annoys me.

Angry Grasshopper:
Never!
