Military Removing 'Man' From Job Titles, Citing Gender Equality

The U.S. Navy and Marine Corps are getting a progressive make-over. The word 'man' will be dropped from each job and rating description to make them inclusive and gender-neutral.

Long gone are the days of ordnanceman, corpsman, or naval aircrewman- the new rating could be called ordinance person, health assistant, and aircrew assistant.

"This is one more step in how our force has changed," Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus said in an interview Friday. "Our force has evolved, our force is different. And I believe it's stronger and better."

"It's time for us to let go of telling women, 'You're just included. We don't call you out by sex, but just know you're part of mankind,'" said Lory Manning, a senior fellow at the Service Women's Action Network. "When you hear that 'man' at the end, the image is a male image."

Even Camille Pagliia acknowledged in an article that it was and is men who built and protected this country. Men have the dangerous and hard jobs. Men carry the burdens that others feed off from. Men built the skyscrapers and died on the battlefields. Men farm the lands. Yet, the Satanic assault continues. I don't know how much longer we have as a nation.

The Gulf War of 1990-1991 was this nation’s last victory. The Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are true heroes, but both of those victories have been squandered.
