Princeton HR department: Don’t use word ‘man’
The College Fix ^ | August 18, 2o16 | Jeremy Beaman

The Princeton University HR department has largely wiped the word “man” from its vocabulary.

The relatively new (policy)[Guidelines for Using Gender Inclusive Languag] in effect at the Ivy League institution spells out the directive in a four-page memo that aims to make the department more gender inclusive.

Instead of using “man,” employees are told to use words such as human beings, individuals or people.

Unless you are talking about the HR department.

In that case the proper word is "nitwits". This can be modified to "useless nitwit" when speaking of the HR Director.

Hr@princeton.education.

This is the Princeton Human Resources Department mailbox. I wonder how many times I can use “man” in a communication to these idiots.

American Universities, not all, but many of them, are THE INCUBATORS of the political correctness, anti-westernerism, anti-Judaeo-Christian morality and cultural equivalence which is DESTROYING America and the West.

So the, “Prince” part of Princeton will be changed to some gender inclusive term like Highness-ton or Royal-ton?

Someone should send them an email complaining about the inherent sexism in the name Princton, then demand they change it, then sign the note Kanisha Schawrtz-Obinga. That'll keep em guessing.

I guess no one pointed out to the HR wizard that ‘human beings’ contains the word, man?

If P.U. has this center, is it in contrast to an enemy they are absolutely unable to name?

Ever notice how “academics” are a bunch of sicko bastards. College is like getting a lobotomy.

There is so much anti-male bias on TV these days, that nothing would surprise me. I just saw a video ad where a woman says, not once but twice, “What do I love about my life? My mom, my kids and my job.” What, she doesn’t love her dad or her husband? No room for that?

And that GE ad with the woman mechanic trying to teach a dimwitted young male. Saw that today for the first time. Why is that necessary?

Too many to list but those were seen in the last few minutes.

And the Ad Council ads...well, most of them are brainwashing 101.

Eventually, male equates to bad in the liberal culture.

This could be the last chance for America.

WT~ do these people do all day? Debate which bathroom to use? I’m offended by these mentally ill people. They should file a lawsuit against them for extreme public stupidity and being a gross annoyance.

Guess they won’t have any further use for certain word combinations like “common sense” any longer either.
