Change women's collective noun from a gaggle to a power of women!


Change women's collective noun from a gaggle to a power of women!
The Issue
Do you know what the collective noun for a group of women is?
A gaggle. Seriously. Like a gang of gurning giggling gurgling geese too busy gargling to gag over this.
I propose we enter a new term in the Oxford Dictionary - a Power of women.
And while we are at it, how about updating some of the other collective nouns still floating about?
Men don't even have their own collective noun. What if we gave them something to perk them up too? How about a Mighty of men?
More: an impatience of wives? How about a Patience of wives instead? An unhappiness of husbands? Come on, let's make it a Happiness of husband.
Words matter. We need to change how we talk about each other to create a society that is more supportive, kinder, more tolerant.
Let's be a Movement of Changers, now.
