I just released my first Chrome extension! It’s called Jailbreak the Patriarchy, and if you’re running Chrome, you can head over here to install it.
What does it do?
Jailbreak the Patriarchy genderswaps the world for you. When it’s installed, everything you read in Chrome (except for gmail, so far) loads with pronouns and a reasonably thorough set of other gendered words swapped. For example: “he loved his mother very much” would read as “she loved her father very much”, “the patriarchy also hurts men” would read as “the matriarchy also hurts women”, that sort of thing.
This makes reading stuff on the internet a pretty fascinating and eye-opening experience, I must say. What would the world be like if we reversed the way we speak about women and men? Well, now you can find out!
What if you need to read something on the web exactly as it was written?
Running this extension will not trap you outside the asylum. When you install Jailbreak the Patriarchy, you’ll see that there’s a new button in the top right corner of your browser. It looks like this:
When you click that button, it basically toggles the patriarchy. If Jailbreak the Patriarchy is active when you click, it pauses the extension and reloads your current tab back into reality. If the extension is already paused when you click the button, it unpauses the extension and reloads your current tab back into genderswapped-land.
Just to be clear, only your current tab will reload automatically, but the pause/unpause is browser-wide and persists until you toggle the button again. It’s easy to tell when the extension is paused, because the button in the browser will get a big red OFF tag, like so:
I found it helpful to pause the extension while writing this post, for instance, and intend to unpause it as soon as I’m done. No big deal, with that toggle button right in the browser at all times.
Why create such a thing?
I was having dinner with the incomparable Jess Hammer a couple weeks ago, when the topic of ebooks came around. I made an offhand comment about how someone really ought to make an app that toggles male/female characters’ genders in ebooks, and promptly started thinking about what I was really looking for along those lines.
I’m not much an ebook reader myself, so a Chrome extension feels much more useful to me. But it absolutely genderswaps html-formatted Project Gutenberg books, if that’s what tickles your fancy.
Running Jailbreak the Patriarchy for the past few days has already changed my perspective on the world in a way that I find interesting, enjoyable, and valuable. I’m very curious to hear how other folks feel about the experience! So please give it a try, and let me know whether and how it affects your perspective!
Are there any bugs?
There is a known bug with the English language itself that I’m dealing with imperfectly at the moment. See, sometimes “her” should translate to “him”, and sometimes it should translate to “his”. There are a lot of tricky edge cases here.
I have a set of rules that recognize the most common cases where “her” always or usually should translate to “him”, and then a rule that translates all remaining instances of “her” to “his” instead. It’s a decent system, but not yet thorough enough. (Better than it was when I started, though. Extra thanks to Molly Tomlinson and Xtina Schelin for helping me get this as close to accurate as it is already!) This is very much a work-in-progress.
What this ultimately means is that sometimes you’re going to see “his” where you really ought to see “him” instead, or vice-versa. You can help fix that! You don’t need to know Javascript to help – just knowing English is more than good enough! If you come up with any simple rules on when “her” ought to go to “him” but currently doesn’t, let me know, and I’ll update the extension to take care of those cases as well.
Beyond that, so far I know that Jailbreak the Patriarchy doesn’t affect gmail (which is very important to me), but I haven’t tested it on any other email sites. It works on twitter, greader, and facebook, but I haven’t tested it on dynamic content sites beyond that. Please let me know if you find any problems, and I’ll figure out how to deal with them and push an update through.
Other Notes
Although Jailbreak the Patriarchy does swap gendered terms beyond pronouns, I’ve undoubtedly missed some that I’d be happy to add in as we notice them.
That said, I’ve decided so far not to genderswap some categories of gendered terms, like certain popular slurs. I reserve the right to change my mind and am open to hearing feedback on this decision.
I’ve also decided not to genderswap people’s names, despite having some great theories on how to make that work if I wanted to. I have three reasons for this decision: I wanted to release this so we could play with it ASAP and figured I could always add that feature in later if I so choose; I think that although name-swapping would be great for an app that only affected works of fiction, changing people’s names all over the web would blur reality to the point of inconvenience; and last, I’m really just charmed by the way it makes the entire world feel a bit more genderqueer to me.
Ports and spin-offs created by other coders:
• Nicholas FitzRoy-Dale ported Jailbreak to work for Safari!
• sinxpi ported Jailbreak to a Greasemonkey script for Firefox!
• Marianna Kreidler released a gender-neutral version of Jailbreak!

Especially interesting when reading articles about the Joe Materno scandal.
GABJOH – Oh, I completely forgot about that! I have it set to catch patern- because I wanted grab paternal, paternity, &c. Righto, tweaked that and pushed out an update with the change. Thanks for pointing it out!
This is epic. What a great idea, and an interesting way to look at the (online) world. Thanks for sharing!
Have you seen this? http://regender.com/index.html It’s from around 2005 or 2006 and I think is running from a bigger word list. The proper names swapping is especially nice!
This is really cool, but I wonder if there could ever be an option for gender-neutral pronouns…? :)
This is great! I linked to this page from metafilter.
Another bug: I noticed just now that the word “mister” doesn’t get swapped. I know you’d have to work in some way of preventing phrases like “perfume mister” (ie. spray bottle) from getting mangled.
Jennifer – Thank you!
Liz – I hadn’t seen it, but that’s awesome! I really do like the idea of name-swapping some something like regender, where you have to put in a link deliberately to do the genderswapping.
Ray – Thanks! I think my code could pretty easily be modified to create something that swaps to gender-neutral language instead, sure. I’ll get it onto GitHub in a bit and then you can mod it that way if you like.
Tarheelcoxn – Oh wow, Metafilter, thanks! And yep, you’re absolutely right on ‘perfume mister’ &c being the reason for my not swapping ‘mister’. Similarly, I don’t swap ‘fellow’ because ‘my fellow citizens’ would come out all wrong. Right now I’m following the KISS principle on some of this stuff – might deal with adding it in more carefully later if I think of a really efficient way to do it, though.
One more from the metafilter thread: “guy” gets swapped but “guys” does not.
Or… I lied? Testing: GUY! GUYS!
Aaaah, here’s what’s going on with that – guys should get swapped just fine, but at the moment ALL CAPS STUFF does not. Pretty trivial to add in, I just didn’t earlier.
I LOVE this! It’s so easy to use, and definitely creates some interesting reading. I gender swapped book blurbs on my blog:
http://bit.ly/sXiu2Y
Hello Lolita!
Danielle Sucher makes me wish I had a brain. Damn! Just Splendid, that’s all. Just splendid.
Awww, I kinda liked the Materno thing. But I guess it was technically a bug…
And running across things like this:
While I agree that rape is used casually in a way that does not mean the actual crime, here’s the issue. There are some males who cannot feel safe in environments where that word is used. Among females, it’s almost always a joking word – but females don’t have to seriously worry about whether they might be a rape victim, for the most part. That is not true for males, many of whom have either personally been sexually molested or know friends who have. It can be a very real fear for them, and even using that word in a joking sense can make them feel insecure and unsafe.
And even the little comments that use gendered pronouns… This Chrome extension has led to multiple mind breakings. In a good way. Thanks for it!
Any mileage in a gender neutral version? His, Her -> their.
Oh man, this is AMAZING on lyrics websites.
I Kissed a Boy and I Liked It

I don’t even use Chrome but I am slightly compelled to download it now just to use this plugin!
One thing – what about titles such as “King” or “Emperor”?
I really like this gadget, by the way – I’ve been reading short stories with it.
I really like this gadget – I’ve been reading short stories with it on.
One thing – would it be possible to swap terms such as “King” and “Emperor”?
Prince/princess is the only thing I’ve seen it miss so far. This is pretty great.
I love the idea of this – love to see it for Firefox, too.
You are awesome. I can’t wait to try this.
This is awesome! Google now always searches for “fatherboard” instead of “motherboard”. Cant find anything now :D
I love this extension; I’ve been wanting something along these lines for years. I do have one suggestion: on a lot of casual sites that I read, “guys” is used to mean “people.” Obviously there’s something to be said about the implication of that! But, the extension translates “guys” to “girls.” Would it be more context-appropriate for it to translate as “women,” given that it’s usually used in the context of adults? (Or perhaps just “people,” since that’s how it seems to be used.)
Just something I’m throwing out for thought. Thanks for making this; it’s very eye-opening.
Hey, while using this, i got “Family Guy” translated to “Family Boy” Just thought I’d share.
Love it! I keep doing a double take.
I noticed it doesn’t change “chick” – which could be confusing when talking about baby chickens, haha, but I see it more often used to describe women.
It would be great if you put this up on github, I’d like to take a crack at a gender neutral version and also making a Firefox extension with it. Please let me know if you do. Also – thanks for making this!!
Thank you all so much, you’re awesome! And especially thanks for all the catches and suggestions! I’m throwing together the next update now, and I’m adding in those royalty titles and a few other things you’ve caught and I’ve thought of.
XGE – Is google actually having trouble searching for motherboard for you? I’ve found that google will properly search for motherboard (or whatever) when I type it in, but will then display results as seen through the app. Is that what you’re seeing, or are you actually not getting the right search results?
Kimberly – That’s a good point. I don’t want to translate “guys” to “people”, because it is a gendered word, even though we tend to frame the world in a male=default sort of way. But on further thought, “gals” would probably be a better replacement than “girls”. That change will roll through as soon as you get the next autoupdate.
Max – “Family Boy”, ha! That sounds like something that ended up swapped twice, somehow. “Guy”->”Girl”, then “Girl”->”Boy”.
Anna – I didn’t do “chick” for basically the same reason I didn’t do “fellow”, but you’re right, it’s a bit jarring when it comes up! I don’t actually tend to see women referred to as chicks that often nowadays, though. Now I want to read research on trends in slang term usage!
Lukas – Oh, awesome! I definitely will, but it might be a couple days before I do. I have a few tighter deadline projects I have to finish up first. Since you’re actively interested in working on it, I’d be happy to ping you directly once it’s up.
Great idea. It doesn’t do “actress” though.
Having a lot of fun …
https://plus.google.com/u/0/116605073418042674970/posts/U6m2pEFedTH
Awesome extension, btw, I am having a great time with it, however I found something that I can’t decide is a bug or not or irrelevant.
So, the short command in *nix to view manual pages is `man`, but your extension makes the web references into `woman` (this comment will be funny).
* The usage of the command is so pervasive and without context that I don’t know if it is fixable.
* I kind of like using my newly aliased `woman` command.
This is GREAT. It’s so simple… and then brings up so many complicated implications.
A question: You said you chose not to genderswap things like slurs. Did you also specifically mean to swap only gender, not sex? (For instance, you don’t swap penis~vagina, testosterone~estrogen) I can imagine that one reason to avoid this would be that choosing the right word is controversial (should vagina or clitoris be the sex-swapped equivalent of penis?) but I think it would also be interesting to see. Maybe in future updates the user can choose whether or not to swap such terms?
Sam – Oh, good catch! I’ll put actor/actress into the next update. Thanks!
Andi – That’s awesome!
Pol – Okay, I sort of love that. (And don’t really see a way around it, except perhaps for going through a natural language parser.)
Andrew – Yes, I intentionally chose to swap only gender and not sex. I really didn’t want Jailbreak to be cis-centric.
@POL: One of the most used manpage readers in Emacs is actually named “womanâ€.
Thank you! Love it to bits But on this site: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2061106/The-Iron-Lady-Meryl-Streep-reveres-Margaret-Thatcher.html?ito=feeds-newsxml “actress” is not converted to a male equivalent.
Brilliant. Makes reading the web very interesting, especially this story of a woman who was convincted of raping teenage boys: http://www.news.com.au/national/woman-gets-no-jail-for-sex-abuse/story-e6frfkvr-1226171268758
Twould be great if the code was online, I’d love to contribute. Github would rock.
Some corrections: It doesn’t swap “Mum” the British & Hiberno English equivalent of “Mom”. (The swap should be “Mum” → “Dad”). Likewise it swaps “Dad” to “Mom”, which is uncommonly used here. But I don’t know if there’s a ‘pleases-everyone’ solution to this.
It also doesn’t work on the of the page.
Whoa, I just copy-pasted my original comment into a text-box while the plugin was running and it swapped the text in transit. I don’t know if that was intentional, but it’s trippy.
I heard about your extension on the Marketplace Tech Report and loved it so much I quickly shared it on Facebook to let my friends know about. Unfortunately the preview on Facebook showed some of your site’s (JavaScript?) coding rather than a summary of your post. I shared the post using the Share on Facebook function in Opera Mini 6.1.
I just wanted to make sure it happened. Thanks for creating such a fun extension. I’ll install it on Chromum once I can get my laptop on a WiFi signal in the morning.
Awesome! I love this.
It makes reading my usual comics sites particularly interesting. Spider-Woman just became a hugely more important figure in comics, and Spider-Man now has pheromones that he uses to manipulate women as a super power.
I love this to bits. It’s especially cool when applied to articles specifically about gender relations. Brb, exploring the new internets. :)
thank you so much for this! one of my gender studies students passed it on to me and i plan to incorporate it in a class i’m teaching next semester on online feminism (/masculism?) :)
For everyone who asked, I finally got it up on GitHub here.
DANIELLE – You’re right. Google actually shows results for ‘motherboard’, despite Chrome saying ‘fatherboard’.
I don’t use Chrome, but am now considering it solely so I can use this extension. Fantastic idea, absolutely fantastic. Now if only you could create an extension for my eyes, so everything I see in real life would be swapped as well!
Seconding those asking for a Firefox version! Firefox extensions run on Chrome, and Chrome being pretty much ripped off from Firefox (or, if you prefer more netural language: “based on”), I’m hoping it wouldn’t be difficult. ?? Please, please, please! I NEED this extension! Thanks for writing it.
Wow, I have to say I’m loving this app! Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful thing! There are some huge gender biases that I’ve noticed now, and it’s all thanks to you! Some are silly, and some are enraging.
I’ve shared this page with my friends, ans a few have suggested a sex-neutral option, and I think this would be the next step forward. I would love to see the world as an unbiased place, even if artificially!
Hey, you do have a bug here. It doesn’t change words in all caps, so “HIS” will stay “HIS” where “his” would not. That should be a really easy fix though. This app is fantastic though, I’m getting a huge kick out of it. Good work.
Another vote here in favor of a Firefox version… and also in favor of a gender-neutral version; problem with that is, using the word “their” to signify one individual is grammatically incorrect. Would love to see an alternative using neither “their” nor “her/his”, etc. Have seriously considered using “it” and “its”… rather dehumanizing, though…
Hey, I’m a new blogger at FMH and simple LOVE role reversal stuff. (read Marketplace from late September, a post I did on role reversal). If you ever come across something especially poignant, please share it with me! I’ve considered writing a series of role reversal thought pieces, and would love to mine the excerpts you find most striking! Please let me know of things that jump out at you and keep sending them my way. I’ll either post them or write them into posts (on FMH), with your approval before anything goes up. Many thanks!!
I’ve noticed a few things:
“Grandpa” and “grandma” aren’t switched.
“Chick” doesn’t switch to a male pronoun. Though this is understandable, since “chick” can refer to “baby chicken”.
I just installed it and am using this comment to see if it works for words like manpower and manual. Here goes!
This is clever. Are you freely publishing the source code? (Not that a Google Chrome extension’s source code is closed, anyway.) I’m asking because I’d be interested in helping you port this to other browsers, as well as sending you patches to help develop a gender neutral version. I’d rather contribute to your work than start from scratch. (Feel free to email me back, too; I may not get a chance to come back around to this post in a while, since I’m currently busy.)
Ah, I just found the answer to my question about the source code for this. :) Thanks.
Maymay – Thanks! Other folks have actually ported Jailbreak to Safari and Firefox already, though I haven’t tested either of those myself. (I linked to them in a follow-up post, but you’ve reminded me that I should add the links to this post, too.)
Thanks for this extension! Us stupid trannies don’t get misgendered enough by everyone else. We totally need our supposedly liberal allies doing it to us too.
Chris –
I’ve been thinking about your comment all day. I am truly sorry to have put you through that experience!
You raise a complicated set of issues, though. In general, I try to use whatever pronouns people tell me they prefer, and respect everyone’s own gender identity. The extension turns everything topsy turvy, and I like the idea of cis people going through the experience of being misgendered and seeing what it’s like for once. But I don’t want to add to the weight of anyone who has to deal with that sort of thing all the time and is damn well sick of it!
But of course, no one has to install this and mix up their view of the web at all. It’s just a private tool for helping people break out of some habitual thought patterns. Using it doesn’t fool me into thinking my transmasculine friends are secretly really female, for instance, or confuse me into using the wrong pronouns for them. So, if you’re not running it yourself, I’m having some trouble understanding where the problem is.
I’m going to keep thinking about this one. I just wanted to make sure it didn’t get stuck in the moderation queue for too long in the meantime, at least.
Here’s a gender neutral version!
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mmdlclbfhplmbjfefngjbicmelpbbdnh
Marianna – Awesome! Thank you for making that happen! I’ll link to it from my posts and the github readme for Jailbreak in just a bit.
Hey! Just found out about this, it’s really neat. Suggestion for a tweak – right now “during her” [eg "during her tenure at..."] is changing to “during him.” There might be a couple cases where that’s correct, but I can’t think of any, so I’d suggest changing it to “during his” by default.
Another one – a sentence started with “In her speech about…” which changed to “in him speech.” I know that “in him” is correct in a lot of cases, and maybe this is too complicated a rule to build, but I think it would work to say that if “In her” are the first words in a sentence, and “her” isn’t followed by a comma, it should default to “his.” That way it would avoid messing up something like “In her, they found the person they had been looking for.”
Ok, I’m done geeking out now, thanks for making a cool thing.
Ok, now that my comment is published, it shows up that “in her speech about” changes to “in his.” Here is the actual exact quote that had a problem:
“In her 2012 TED Talk,…”
please, can somebody make this an add-on for firefox?!?
Someone did port it to Firefox! http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/125685
Because, of course, there’s not enough misgendering in the world as it is, so someone had to invent a Chrome extension to do it automatically.
I just got this app and I LOVE IT. It’s blowing my mind in the best way.
You did ask for tips on the her/his/him problem. I just came across an instance: “let her die” became “let his die”. To skip the whole grammatical discussion and examples, I think a rule could be applied to ‘let’.
If ‘let’ is followed by a pronoun and a verb, adverb, or preposition, the pronoun is not possessive.
(verb) “They let her go,” to “They let him go.”
(adverb) “They let her silently retreat,” to “They let him silently retreat.”
(preposition) “They let her in,” to “They let him in.”
If ‘let’ is followed by a pronoun and a noun or adjective, it is possessive.
(noun) “They let her brother go,” to “They let his sister go.”
(adj) “They let her younger brother go,” to “They let his younger sister go.”
Bravo! An insightful, yet deeply amusing piece of code.
Good work!
For even more fun, the substitutions should be randomized so you can’t tell if a pronoun is swapped or not!
Awesome! I’m blowing minds left and right with this one!
Two things I noticed here(don’t know if these are bugs or features): http://www.doctornerdlove.com/2013/01/dr-nerdlove-off-market/#idc-container
“Goddess” stayed the same.
“Nerdboys” also stayed the same.
(I’m using the Greasemonkey script)
In any case, thank you very much for this! This is making my online discussions about feminism a LOT easier.
This is great, but I think it would be even better if you swapped the terms “birth control” with Viagra and vice versa.
I want a Chrome extension that changes the word “Jailbreaking” into the proper “Hacking”. Jailbreaking is an ipad/iphone specific term, where the restrictions placed by Apple are removed, thus breaking it out of Apple’s “jail”.
If you make changes to parts of software or the internet, then it’s called Hacking.
Great app. But apparently it does not change “bros.” You might want to make it change it to “gals.”
For extra LOLs, maybe add in “masculism”>”feminism” so that The Spearhead becomes some kind of irony black hole and destroys the Internet as we know it?
Hmm apparently that actually works, never mind, ignore me.
The extension is no longer a CRX and I cannot download it.
I have been trying for a while now.
I would very much like to download this, but I can’t as it is not a CRX.
Joe – Looks like they changes some requirements! I’m testing a new release locally now and will push it over the weekend.
I uploaded a new release earlier this week. Mind trying again and letting me know if it works for you now? Thanks!
Can you have it change “menopause” to “manopause” ??
Just a note – I don’t think the app swaps the words “mum”/”mom” and “dad” – worth changing or checking!
