      im not aware of cows having preferred pronouns, like they havent told us to call them any different

      also as we dont know the gender of the cow, we wouldn’t call it ‘him’ or ‘her’ and because its not a person ‘it’ just makes sense to use as a default

      this isnt that deep

      Yes. It.

      It’s a fucking cow, but maybe you’re too used to your mom and can’t tell the fucking difference.

      I swear you PETA motherfuckers are so bafflingly stupid.

        In Portuguese (or Latin languages) if the animal is female, its a she.

        Even inanimate objects (“You are a fuc### inanimate object!”) have gender. Not all.
        Why or how, I don’t know.

        But a I know all chairs are female for example.

        “Esta cadeira é desconfortável.” - right.
        “Este cadeiro é desconfortável.” - wrong

        “This chair is uncomfortable.”

        “O” at the end of a word is male and “a” is female.

        And “this” on the female version has an “a” at the end “Esta cadeira”,
        but male has the “e” “Este cadeiro.”

          In Finnish you’d usually just call everything “it” (se), though you can say “them” (hän) if you want to be formal.

            So Portuguese and German chairs can procreate.

            Our dictator(Salazar) was hurt due to falling of a chair.
            Has any German chair achieve something against fascism?
            Do them even care?
