Seems like you are the one that is offended because they aren't using the terms you prefer.

However, I just find it's confusing that fe/males were both referred to as 'actors': it's just silly, and that's why they got rid of that pronto. Stop imagining conflict where there's none.

You called the term "Actors" "Insanity" - Why is this insanity? It made me think you must care. Glad to hear you really don't care about any of this, I guess I misunderstood your post. Thanks.

I'm not 'up-in-arms' about the 'actor' thing haha, I just thought that it was silly and confusing, and I guess the Academy agrees since they done away w that after a short trial run. I'm totally cool w 'partner' or whatever, but my question was why anyone would be offended w the traditional terms in the first place...and presumably that's why this terminology was introduced as a replacement? I suppose this change makes sense for same-sex couples, but I'm not sure about others. Ofc, as others have explained, if one is not married, then there aren't many other choices, or it may be a better alternative to bf/gf. Who knows, I'm just curious is all.

I don't understand why our current society is so "okay" with Karen's running around trying to boss everybody over what to do. Way back in the day, rude people were shunned. Now they're everywhere. Shawn |

As a segue, you know what I find funny about Yankeeland? That the word 'liberal' carries an almost derogatory meaning lol.

tht's because the 24-hour news and talk show cycle have made everyone forget that it has a meaning that has nothing to do with politics.

So lame and so awkward and just plain weird (but, again, they can do whatever they want).

I've been with my girlfriend for 18 years. Not married. 99% of the time I will refer to her as my girlfriend. On the rare occasion I feel the need to emphasize the seriousness of our relationship I just say she's my wife. No ones has ever asked to see proof.

I also hear partner a lot now and find it a bit odd. When I hear the word partner my thought goes to a business partner or some type of business arrangement. Boyfriend/girlfriend denotes romantic relationship. Partner denotes business relationship.

I've rarely heard it outside of an LGBTQ context, never really care to know why when I did because what someone calls their partner is of no consequence to me. |

Same-sex repping here - 37 years together with 4 (straight) kids. Before gay marriage was legal in all 50 states, we always used “partner in crime” to introduce each other
We’ve had gay and straight friends introduce their other half as their “lover”. THAT makes me cringe way more than partner.
