All part of the idiotic liberal War on Men even though it's men who become the engineers and businessmen and scientists that create wealth and give us this amazing technologically advanced world we live in. Women become english teachers and social workers.


PRINCETON Erases The Word ‘MAN’ From Its Vocabulary…

[8/18/16] The Princeton University HR department has largely wiped the word “man” from its vocabulary.

The relatively new policy in effect at the Ivy League institution spells out the directive in a four-page memo that aims to make the department more gender inclusive.

Instead of using “man,” employees are told to use words such as human beings, individuals or people.

Other guidelines? Instead of “man and wife” use spouses or partners. Switch out “man made” with artificial, handmade or manufactured. Don’t use the verb “to man,” as in to work something, instead use to operate or to staff. Throw out workmanlike and replace it with skillful.

The memo goes on to list a variety of occupations that typically include the word “man” in them and offers replacements: business person instead of businessman, firefighter instead of fireman, ancestors instead of forefathers, and so on.

I could list the many women that contributed to the world of science and yet you will just turn glossy eye and ignore it...

Also I really see no issue with what Princeton want to do and truthfully it is their right to enforce these guidelines...
 
aren't the majority of new doctorates being issued to women? JW

NO - you could not list MANY, though you could list a few. Why is it no woman has won a Nobel in physics in 50 years?

LOL...It links a site called Govtslaves....then that site links to something called "The College Fix"....and that site says "read the whole guide here" and links to "Site not found" http://writingcenter.unc.edu/handouts/gender-sensitive-language/

Duped again....but you're so dupable that duping you isnt hard to do :lol:

And further drilling the links: the credit for this vocabulary goes to UNC Chapel Hill, not Princeton.

This article posted by the very naive OP is a lie.

The board notes that "attack the messenger" is all you have.

It may be bullshit, but it's not hard to believe it might be true given the ridiculous shit being peddled by "academics" these days. I just read this yesterday

Charlotte schools: Don't refer to kids as boys, girls

Fake story??. You lie again. Lots of websites are talking about this.

princeton bans word man - Google Search

Lots of websites are running a fake story. Well, damn...I guess that means its real.
once you accept that the news is fake, there's no turning back.

Here is the link they provided to the guide: http://writingcenter.unc.edu/handouts/gender-sensitive-language/

You tell me if there is something there or not. If its not there is it real or fake?
 
If you are a man, insist they call you a man. If they do not, sue them.

It's what sexually confused Lefties do.

Be that as it may, this fucked up oversensitive society we have fostered is about as useless as mud. They have no clue what life is about or if there is a God or what happens when they die. So instead, they (and Ivy league administrations no less) spend an interminable number of hours thinking how much they hurt because of word usage or because much of society does not agree with their favorite things to do. I really cannot stand to listen to all these sue happy cry babies bitch about how tough their lives are.

Grow up America before God destroys us all because of narcissism and stupidity alone.
 
Over here they are trying to eliminate both 'he' and 'she' so they've invented a pronoun to replace both. So far the only ones I've heard using it are male feminists. I used it once as a joke. I refuse to accept it and I won't.

Does that look like they banned the word man? This is about job announcements and shit which is not a ban of using the word on campus.

Thanks for the link btw...Its VERY different than what the article said it was
