We don't call "male-killing" sexism; we call it "glory." We don't call the one million men who were killed or maimed in one battle in World War I (the Battle of the Somme) a holocaust, we call it "serving the country." We don't call those who selected only men to die "murderers." We call them "voters."

“Calling something exotic emphasizes its distance from the reader. We don’t refer to things as exotic if we think of them as ordinary.

We call someone exotic if we aren’t especially interested in viewing them as people — just as objects representing their culture.”
