"Here is my radical suggestion: Have the toast song as part of our
history,
but don't sing it anymore. That way no one is bothered by changes,
gender
referrals, or grammar mistakes."
There's a novel idea. We have plenty of other non-official songs that
say "men" a whole lot, too. We don't sing those, and they don't hurt
anybody.
Also, I don't see why we cannot just get Brothers to write an entirely
new song that reflects the times, instead of changing what we have.
