Tomayto, tomahto.

From the same coworker who brought us "Why don't all the poor people in Africa just go get jobs?", Funundrum now proudly presents:

"Huh. This paternity lawsuit website says that the word 'paternity' is sexist and should be replaced with the word 'parentage.' I kind of see their point. I mean, it doesn't always have to be about determining the father."

Funundrum: "Yes, dude, actually it does. Establishing paternity means determining the father of a child. So the word 'paternity' is correct 100% of the time. End of story."

Coworker: "But, I don't know, in certain cases you might have to establish the mother."

To graciously borrow from Mark Twain: let us draw the curtain of charity over the rest of the scene.
