There's a gender divide over the use of the term 'Latinx,' @paoramos says, that's typically objected to by “older Latino men.” “The only objective of the term is to be more inclusive,” she says. “What is it about this term that evokes such a diverse image…is so irritating?”

Interesting. I thought this would be more of a generational divide than a gender divide.

It's that people don't like being labeled by a word concocted in a faculty lounge. Inclusive is good but trying too hard isn't. People like being referred to by actual real terms that they know and are comfortable with. If it's something new/slang it needs to arise organically.
