Joe Biden - "Time to put Trump in the bullseye."
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.

[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.

It's more the whole PC Bro and SJW culture. For instance, do you believe any building at a university, or university names themselves, should be changed if those people were racist or somehow involved in the slave trade in their life?

Being a man, as well as very liberal, I have to agree with you that this kind of nonsense is idiotic. That being said, please put your big girl panties on, because your manhood is not being attacked. If this is a liberal 'War on Men', then you probably also think that the separation of church and state is a War on Christmas. Feminists feel that it is necessary to change the terminology that they feel subtlety, yet unequally reinforces gender preferences. They fail to realize that the term, man, can refer not only to gender, but is also shorthand for mankind, and thereby can connote even an individual. I don't particularly care to say personhole cover, instead of manhole cover, but hey, if they hate manholes, let them say asshole covers if it turns them on.

The rest of your diatribe... you gotta admit might be construed as a bit sexist, huh? Men built this world, yet your own mother didn't produce anything valuable? I wouldn't stick with that argument. It is sorta self-defeating.

Its utter insanity that any rational person could defend this craziness.....pinheads will come to the defense of any insane idea their progressive handlers come up with...
solutions to issues that aren't problems in the first place......

Pinheads are incapable of using their own common sense to evaluate the inane ideas that are put before them.....

If a con says water is wet, pinhead liberals will spend hours using insane logic to prove they are wrong....then claim its the right wingers fault that we can find no common ground to enact law and solve the nations problems.....

The language police used to be a sci-fi invention that most people laughed at as futuristic nonsense and now, lo and behold, here it is.....brought to you by the pinhead Democrats of today......:palm:

Not my call.

That kind of decision should be left to the local community.
