Winsper Inc.'s Christmas card, at Winsper Wonderland, allows the sender to dress the snowperson as a male or female, depending on the sex of the recipient.

In a world of food servers, flight attendants, fire fighters, mail carriers and cow hands, is desexing a snow creature the last straw?

Yes, surely the end is near....



REPENT SINNERS!!!









--

Dammit, those started out as Calvin and Hobbes strips -- the one with Susie Derkins making a snow woman (and Calvin's mom forbidding the making of anatomicl snowmen); and the one with snowman prophets announcing the coming doom of spring, as they melt. Alas.
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

Quote from: ArticleOn the other hand, when it comes to Frosty, he is definitely a dude, says Chambers.

"He has a top hat."

Many languages have always put gender into words even when it is not needed. Perhaps for the future English will drop gender pronouns if for nothing else, for e-mail and text messages.
