In reply to the discussion: Yes, the continued use of "coronation" and "queen" is sexist. [View all]northernsouthern
(1,511 posts)I do not like the idea of calling her royalty as that is ad hominem and below us. That being said coronation is not sexist at all.
cor·o·na·tion
ˌkôrəˈnāSH(ə n,ˌkärəˈnāSH(ə n/
noun
the ceremony of crowning a sovereign or a sovereign's consort.
There are kings and queens all over, the term is asexual. Hillary is a woman, so she would thusly be a Queen. I love the Queen of England, well like, she visited the set of Good Neighbors. If they had called her a king then it would go a whole different route, or implied she was a drag queen. But Queens are fecking powerful, it was a queen that stopped the Pirates of Penzance and turned them in to noble gentle men.
As for GW, I actually thing I did hear of it being a coronation of his too. There are many people that were calling the Bush and Clinton houses royalty, which is sadly a bit true, they are in a way cheating the term limits. You are off by a mile on this one, or rather the article.
