Cardiff Metropolitan University is at the forefront of political correctness sensitivity. The University Bans Lecturers from Using any Sexist or Insensitive Words. The list of banned words is wider than you might think. Here are some examples: mankind, homosexual, housewife, manmade, and sportsmanship.

And please, try to avoid words like “mother” and “father” unless you can say “mother and father” together. Yes, the article states that.

A housewife is to be called a “consumer”?

Makes absolutely no sense.

Cardiff Metropolitan University, formerly University of Wales Institute, Cardiff, is a university situated in Cardiff, Wales.

It has been sweeping the entire globe, so we must be nearing the end times, though I have no prediction as to that exact date. 8>)

So if I said to a leftist on the campus...

“I think i’m the best MAN FOR THE JOB to #### your WAITRESS MOTHER and I’m bringing a FIREMAN with a CHRISTIAN NAME with me, because he has a lot of MANPOWER and isn’t HOMOSEXUAL....

Would that be wrong...

What happens when some snowflake worries that “Chief Assistant” is disrespectful to Native Americans?

It is an insult.

Housewife is a job she is a producer of something of value. When you call her a consumer you are saying she produces nothing of value, that she is a leech.

Housewife is “Consumer”? Men aren’t?

Back when I did restaurant work (late 70’s early 80’s) our manager addressed the server staff as “Waitri”.

Mankind is Humankind? Did these mental midgets not understand that “Man” is in both words? Man - WoMan, Male - FeMale.. HuMan - race of Man.

This politically correct crap has to end.

What if a woman falls in love with a house and wants to marry it? Are we going to deny marriage equality for people who were born with a building centered sexual orientation? Certainly she would then be a "housewife", and calling her a mere "consumer" of the house would be insulting to her spouse.

These people are so regressive they got to keep up, their political correctness is mired in the bigotries of last week!

I’ll say it is a biased, bigoted statement for assuming housewives don’t DO any type of production, demeaning their production and raising of children or unpaid labor feminists often decry.

For anyone puzzled by “homosexual” it stems from folks who think homosexual is translated as “sexual man” because they don’t know their etymology.
