It is happening in Brazil. First it started as a retarded internet fad that we all made jokes about, but somehow it reached the academy and suddenly it was considered a super serious thesis in post-modern linguistics. Most people on real life consider it bullshit, but a small minority that occupies media, NGOs, corporations and all their propaganda are pushing this shit and are doing everything they can to put this retarded language in government and schools.

I can very easily think of a sentence in portuguese where practically every single word is gendered in relation to a subject. I would think just that fact would make any attempt to adopt this american BS a stupid idea but some people are truly morons.
