- Male' and 'female' should be replaced in crackdown on 'harmful terminology'
-Scientists say 'sperm-producing' and 'egg-producing' or should be used instead
Some members of the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) Language Project, founded by scientists in the US and Canada, wrote that 'much of western science is rooted in colonialism, white supremacy and patriarchy' which 'continue to permeate our scientific culture'.
To 'address this history', 'harmful' scientific terms should be identified and revised to 'foster inclusion', they argued. It comes amid a broader push for language to be changed to be less offensive, with doctors last summer claiming the term 'morbidly obese' should be ditched.
Writing in the journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution, researchers said efforts to 'champion inclusive language' in science is 'particularly important for redressing the ongoing marginalization of many groups'.
It was co-authored by scientists from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and universities in the US, including Michigan, California and New Jersey.
The EEB Language Project website lists the 'top 24 harmful terms' used in science that may be 'harmful or offensive', as well as 'replacement terms'.
As well as male and female, the words mother and father are criticised for perpetuating a 'a non-universal' view of 'the parenting and birthing process'.
'Parent', 'egg donor' and 'sperm donor' are suggested as replacement terms.

I am a WOMAN.
I married a man. That makes me his WIFE.
I went through 5 pregnancies and give birth 3 times. That makes me a MOTHER.
I REFUSE to alter my life, my identity, my glorious feminine strengths and gifts because some special snowflakes have their undies in a twist.
My answer to these people is GFY. Grow up.
Am I safe in assuming this Bullcrap organization consists of three or four tranny malcontents who hate their lives?

You have been promoted to the position of Chicken.
It’s pure insanity.
This is what a godless society looks like
So post menopausal former egg producers are no longer women? What are they?
These doctors seem to know a lot about “eggs”. But then again, they are a bunch of woke chicken-shits.
Somebody post their names and universities so sane people can be warned not to use their services.
These scientists also said birds should be called those things that fly and have feathers.
I’m not easily offended but if someone called me, a woman, an “egg producer” I would find that highly offensive.
Society, which changes the language naturally and without force or coercion so that people can more easily communicate.
AND...
Marxists, who change the language by force and coercion to gain power over those using such language.
Dear Woke Idiot Scientist,
I REFUSE TO BE DEHUMANIZED.
It is quite insulting isn’t it.
It is offensive.
Why? Because it dehumanizes you.
Lets replace another Harmful Phrase -”Scientist” with a more truthful phrase “Government Funded Parasite”
Male' and 'female' should be replaced in crackdown on 'harmful terminology'.
'Male' and 'female' are not harmful except to fragile Lefties...
Its very important we dont offend the .01264% of folks who get bothered by these terms.
Some homosexuals would disdainfully refer to you and your husband as “breeders”.
