It means that you have understood the power of language,understood that grammatical categories shape ideas and actions, that linguistic change and cultural change are related. It means that you want to use language to divide people and thus control them. It means that you are prepared to accept discrimination, misunderstanding and distrust  as a means of keeping potential enemies from forming natural, healthy alliances. It means, in the end, that you are at war with your own sex, your own religion, your own tribe, possibly yourself, in a struggle to be king of the hill. And to sit on top of a mountain of crabs.
