Um... what? Dead link, but what I would like is a definition of subjunctive deterrence. "Deterrence that makes us feel good"?
"Counterfactual" would be better. "Subjunctive" is a grammatical term.
So is "gender", but it's entered common usage (at least among a community that includes this one) enough that it serves a non-grammatical purpose here.
