Haha I bet they hated this one "man made - MANufactured" I can hear the tormented from here.

What about WoMAN. There is MAN in woman as well, what are you going to change that too?

Lets change English!

They could use a nice firebombing for poisoning our fucking future.

Preying on young, impressionable minds with their propaganda. What's really sad is that these are the people that actually make it into an ivy league university and yet many of them are still stupid enough to fall for this garbage. It makes you wonder what that means about the kids not smart or rich enough to go to these places but fortunately it seems to be generally the opposite and the average person isn't quite as indoctrinated ironically. Where were the parents of these students? Why didn't they teach them enough sense growing up so that by the time they went to college they were already mentally immune to this crap? We have a whole generation of kids that will become prominent members of society who's brains are like computers with no anti-virus, encryption or security plugged in to the network and just fucked up. The parents should have "installed" some protection in there because schooling damm well isn't.

PRINCEton suggests both patriarchy and royalty!! I'm triggered! I demand they change the name to something non offensive to my delicate sensibilities!

Like FuzzyBunnyton.

But now that I think about it the suffix -ton is also a unit of measurement in the oppressive IMPERIAL system! The whole name must be changed or I'll cry!

It's not like men take some sort of smug satisfaction from the fact that the English language uses the male pronoun often. It's just words. Feminist's get so worked up over every goddamn thing. They will never stop.

For those who can't be bothered to look up the etymology. The word man originally meant 'adult person' and was prefixed by 'wer' to denote a male and 'wif' to denote a female. Wifman gradually changed to become woman. Werman just lost the prefix altogether. Essentially removing the male identity and just rolling it into generic adult.

On a side note, girl was used for children of both genders and boy meant slave. See what they did there?

Insanity run amuck

First from the language, then from society.

RichardBelmont · 2016-08-18T15:23:37+00:00

Maybe they can make some money with a new edition.

Ikoszzz · 2016-08-18T22:15:55+00:00

As stupid as the OP sounds, it makes complete sense when you see things from the other side. To them the use of 'man' everywhere looks like [https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~evans/cs655/readings/purity.html](this).

2016-08-19T03:45:44+00:00

Why the fuck is this happening?

ss_camaro · 2016-08-18T17:36:02+00:00

The frogs have gone all clam.

victor_knight · 2016-08-19T10:39:25+00:00

Well, it's not like the paid employees at Princeton have ANYTHING BETTER THEY SHOULD BE WORKING ON!

On the MGTOW and Red Pill fronts, we are striving to eliminate the term, "man up" from our vocabulary...

hippydipster · 2016-08-18T19:07:22+00:00

I don't include this as a bad example of PC culture. Sometimes these words do matter since they are the words we inevitably think with. So when you talk about man or mankind as inclusive of the whole race, and you say something like "I'm taking a course studying the biology of man", you think, oh ok. But then try out something like "I'm reading a book about breast-feeding of man", or "I'm learning how menstruation works in mankind", it gets a little weird, which suggests that the first sentence with "biology of man" was actually subtly guiding your mind to picture a man, and thus, when you try using that phrase with something like breast-feeding, this is revealed, because suddenly it feels jarring.

I think gender-neutral language is generally a good switch to make.

If this is something that bothers you, then you really need to find a hobby and get out more.
