Students lose marks for using 'he': Universities penalise undergraduates for 'offensive' gender phrases in essays and exams

Sounds a bit nuts, but once their grades actually get affected by this bullshit ideology I wonder if that will be enough to push a lot of students to protest? The feminists and anti-capitalists are crossing a dangerous line now they're actually trying to affect peoples' futures who don't conform.

Good fucking lord, fight back against these totalitarian sociopaths in any way you can, please. This shit is spreading like a fucking virus.

Want us to use "humankind" instead of "mankind" because of "man".

"human" has "man" in it too.

feminism.

This is the rising totalitarian mindset. They are creating their own unique language and morality, and imposing it on everyone they are able to.

Collectively, students are entitled to a refund. This is bad English.

Saw this too. Obscene. And a warning that everything we have seen happening in American Universities is coming to UK shores fast. Unless we are prepared, we are headed for the same fate.

So when the academic bubble bursts, these nutcake profs aren't going to have jobs and will wind up on the government dole.

The article does not support the heading's claim "Students lose marks for using 'he' ".
It says they are told not to use he or she for cases which could be either.

E.g, a med student should not write "The nurse fills out the form, the doctor checks it. He is responsible if he lets through any mistake she makes". That is wrong because the genders of the doc and nurse are unknown, so the student will be marked down.
