Gender Selection Issue #9
Comments
@rultor release, tag is |
I made this mostly in jest since you're from San Francisco. But applause nonetheless for treating it as a serious issue. 👍 Closed. |
we take these things seriously... in San Francisco :) |
Well you missed out on the bonus LGBTQRSTUV points! You'd be surprised at the number of people who will complain that they are genderfluid and identify themselves as both female and male depending on their mood or the day. Gender politics aside - I like this repo. Clever idea and it looks to be coming together nicely. |
@kyokou thanks for using it :) maybe we should replace this entire dropdown box with something more neutral... any ideas? |
Cats or Dogs: |
@kyokou I like the selection, but what is the question? "Your favorite pet"? |
"Cats or Dogs?" Favorite pet would mean people who like hamsters, snakes, birds, ferrets, gerbils, frogs, lizards, and a variety of other animals would feel left out. Their favorite pet isn't on the list! "Cats or Dogs?" is merely asking an opinion between two arbitrary choices. ( E: Or you can accept the fact that someone, somewhere will be offended by your choices and just pick an example ;) ) |
@kyokou well, I'm trying to keep this "form" as realistic as possible. It should look like a form for subscription. Would be strange to have such a question on a website subscription page: cats or dogs? :) It should be something more realistic.. |
Fair point. How about a niche that also lets you showcase other input types? I like icecream. What day is the best day to have icecream? What is your favorite flavor of Neapolitan ice cream? How many servings of icecream do you have per week, on average? Do you consider yourself an icecream enthusiast/addict? [checkbox] Can we contact you with special offers on icecream? |
Disgusting |
Change the default selection of gender to "Won't Tell". It's sexist to have "male" be the default and expected option.
Bonus feminist points if you put Female above Male as the 2nd Option.
Bonus LGBTQRSTUV points if you include "Neither", "Both", and "Other" options.
