Is Fiancé even gendered?

In French, I think it is. Which, since it's a loan word, means in English too. I couldn't tell you which is which without a search. But I'm pretty sure Betrothed is the same niche and gender neutral.

This shit's all about control, my mans.

It's doesn't actually matter what the word is, what matters is that they need a special word and it needs to be forced into use.

Romance languages are gendered

Is Fiancé even gendered?

Yes, in both English and French:

fiancé: the future spouse is male
fiancée: the future spouse is female

They're pronounced the same. It doesn't really matter if the extra 'e' gets included when written in English. Someone who does care about the presence/absence of the second 'e' is either French, an English teacher, or picking nits for no good reason.

ah, the french, a people so demented that they insist on spelling their language wrong. Probably out of spite towards the English.

Divine
Child

You are expecting a brain from a progressive leftist. Not gonna happen.

As bad as Nazis and Communists were, at least most of them were not obvious morons.

That being said...

Normally, I’d say ”yes” and add that they’re just screwing with us. But lately, I’ve begun to have my doubts as to whether they realize it at all, so…

I suspect that they actually know what they are doing. You see, words that @Yinko had listed are traditional words. So they won't do - leftists want to make up their own terms, to take control of the language.

The greatest thing Napoleon ever did for the french people was end the insanity. If this goes on a similar figure will arise in america.

Except he didn't, the insanity gradually died down once they guillotined Robespierre, what Napoleon did was give the people semblance of stability and illusion of grandeur.

Wait, do they literally showcase Onion articles praising North Korea as domestic propaganda or something?

Or, is that a fake screenshot made for comedic purposes?
