8. Princeton wipes “man” from official lexicon

Princeton University has scrubbed the word “man” from its official human resources guidelines. No longer is it proper to say, “Please get a clerk to man the front desk.” Instead, the instructions are to say, “Please get a clerk to staff the front desk.”

“Gender-inclusive language is writing and speaking about people in a manner that does not use gender-based words,” the HR guidelines states. “Gender binary is the traditional view on human gender, which does not take into consideration individuals who identify as otherwise, including and not limited to transgender, genderqueer, gender non-conforming, and/or intersex.”

The guideline reinforces these definitions with multiple examples of replacing sex-based pronouns (like him, his, she, her) with the plural “their.” When in doubt, “eliminate the pronoun altogether,” it commands. And now that every school has diversity offices, the lines drawn are even more concerning with special attention given to addressing transgender students with a completely new set of gender-neutral pronouns — “ze, zie and hir, ey, em, eir and emself.”

The ridiculous notion that anyone would be subjected to learning a made-up language just to make another person feel accepted has no place in an institution of higher learning. Changing the rules for everybody to satisfy the few is not a win-win situation. It’s an assault on liberty and personal freedom.

    Alumni of these institutions need to deliver the message by withholding donations. I would guess that some of the absurdities provoked by Title IX can be clarified by “guidance letters” from the Admin undoing the “guidance” offered by Obama’s admin. But the most effective message will come from Parents electing not to send kids to these schools and alumni electing not to support them while they remain bastions of fascist leftism.
