Quote:EU moves to outlaw phrases such as 'man-made', 'manpower' and 'mankind' in favour of 'nonsense' gender-neutral terms under new PC guidelines for translators
minusculechairshot  What are you going to do? I see a bridge in London Built in the 1800's and ask you if that was Man-Made, you going to arrest me or say "No, it was built by 1800 Gender Neutral Males that May or May Not of had Relationships with Women or May Have Been a Male Physically but Wanted To Be A Woman! minusculepuke
Quote:The European Union has moved to suppress everyday phrases such as 'manpower' and 'mankind' and replace them with gender-neutral terms.


Staff in Strasbourg have been told to reduce references to 'women or men' in a new rule book called Gender Neutral Language In The European Parliament.


The new guidelines are aimed at EU translators tasked with converting documents between the different languages spoken and written by the 28 member states.


The online document suggests words such as 'chairman' be replaced by 'chairperson', and 'policeman' or 'policewoman' by substituted for 'police officer'.

Quote:It also recommends the word 'stewardess' by avoided in preference of 'flight attendant', and 'principal' by used instead of 'headmaster' or 'headmistress'.

'Humanity' should replace 'mankind' and 'man-made' should be substituted for 'synthentic' or 'artificial', it adds.
Makes me want to pull my hair out smalltappinghead thinking that people actually set around and Worry About This SHIT! 
They also say that they've been looking into this since the 1980's.  minusculewtf REALLY!!??

Quote:'In order to treat all genders equally, efforts have been employed since the 1980s to propose a gender-neutral/gender-fair/non-sexist use of language, so that no gender is privileged, and prejudices against any gender are not perpetuated.'

'The use in many languages of the word 'man' in a wide range of idiomatic expressions which refer to both men and women, such as manpower, layman, man-made, statesmen, committee of wise men, should be discouraged.
