I'm new to the term "virtue signaling." Does it apply only] to those who hold a liberal point of view? OR, are anti vaccers/maskers, also sending " signals?" I'm confused. An example of it would be people changing a word like congressman to, congressperson. Or spokesman to spokesperson. They changed it for no reason, because the man part in congressman as we all know comes from the word human.
And as we all know human means both genders of course.
So therefore it would be virtue signaling if they use that word, especially if a male congressman calls himself a congressperson.
However i guess that changing the word makes sense, cuz it sounds more normal that way. But if a man calls another man a spokesperson, then he's virtue signalling.
Of course they could have used congresshuman when the position was first conceived but why bother when the human doing the job was most likely a man? I mean, they’d probably be giving women the vote next.
