Britain’s woke University of Bristol has banned a raft of supposedly offensive terms, including “gendered” words like “manpower” and “mankind” and age-related nicknames like “millennial” and “baby boomer”.
The offending “gendered” words, to be replaced with bland, politically correct alternatives like “workforce” and “humankind” — the Justin Trudeau-approved “peoplekind” appears to have been a bridge too far — are being cautioned against because the university believes they can cause offence and contribute to stigmas, according to GB News.
There is also concern with so-called “ableist” language, with the term “able-bodied” to be substituted for “non-disabled”, for example.
The University of Nottingham, like Bristol a member of the Russel Group of allegedly “world-class” institutions, goes even further recommending against referring to a “blind spot” or the timeless expression “the request fell on deaf ears”.
