(dansk) Dette er et essay. Det udtrykker visse Wikimedia- eller Meta-Wiki-brugeres holdninger og idéer, som ikke nødvendigvis deles af et flertal. Dette udgør ikke en politik på Meta-Wikien, men det kan være en politik eller et regelsæt på et andet Wikimedia-projekt.

Möller's law is an internet adage that deals with issues of conversations on gender and language. Te text of te law is as follows:
As a gender discussion continues, te probability that an appeal for te use of Spivak pronouns will occur approaches one. At such a point, te discussion is forfeited and must cease on te spot.
Spivak pronouns (and sie and hir as well) are seen by some as a sort of straw man for gender and language discussions. Since they are such highly contentious constructions, bringing them into te argument is considered a faux pas unless te discussion originally intended to discuss gender pronouns in language.
Te law was coined July 18, 2003, on te WikiEN-l mailing list, following this thread. Its name was taken from Erik Möller. It's commonly spelled either Möller or Moeller; on te other hand, Moller's law is a misspelling used on te mailing list. Compare Godwin's Law, which this is designed to be analogous towards.
