a sigh of relief
April 10th, 2008
You know how I was all pissed off yesterday? Well, Thesaurus.com fixed it! From their blog:
We take your concerns about language and society seriously (this is, after all, our business) and after reading feedback on the entries for female and lady, we carefully reviewed our editorial decisions. In light of how our customers use Thesaurus.com on a daily basis, we chose to remove “weaker sex†as a informal/slang synonym from our site.
Now, to complain about the differences between their synonyms for man and woman.Â
My work is never done. 
I just added to their blog comments that “seduction” is a synonym for “rape” - indeed, the work is never done, but the further we investigate and the more we bring to their attention the better!
