*wow* Some people....
OK, I was just quickly going through my flist, and came across this in the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

I couldn't bring myself to read all the comments, because come on. Being offended because people always make Atlantis a "her"? Get over it. If you just choose to see Atlantis as something they "dominate" then you're obviously not watching the same show I am. I mean they *love* their city. Rodney practically worships it.
Also, if you're offended over attributing genders to objects, never learn another language, because English is one of the only languages out there that doesn't do that to *every* object. Now I'm totally flashing back to French class when I'd struggle to remember whether a table is masculine or feminine.

Re: Would it make more sense if ze were a genderqueer flying city?
Exactly. And you're right, I'm sure John has referred to the city as a girl at least once in the show. It's just... that's what people do. And when it comes to offensive behaviour, anthropomorphizing is so low down on the list, that it seems pointless to address it.
