Imagine a world where we completely reversed the way we talk about men and women. Sound a little strange? Well, yesterday Jezebel clued us into a new gender swapping extension for Chrome called Jailbreak the Patriarchy. Created by Danielle Sucher, the tool does exactly what it sounds like it should — swaps 'woman' for 'man', 'he' for 'she', 'his' for 'hers', etc on any webpage to which it is applied (it won't, however, regender names — Sucher writes that "changing people's names all over the web would blur reality to the point of inconvenience," and also counts herself "charmed by the way it makes the entire world feel a bit more genderqueer").
