Air Force To Consider Dropping ‘Man’ From ‘Airman’

The Air Force said it will conduct a review to determine whether the use of "airman" is appropriate given the military's push towards full gender equality. [...]

This confirms that a review of job titles, like the one initiated by Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, is soon coming. Mabus' review resulted in an order to the Marine Corps to purge the word "man" from job titles, with the exception that compound words can remain the same. In other words, "infantryman" is acceptable, but "reconnaissance man" is not. That order came as part of the broader initiative to open all combat roles to women. ...

Joe Biden “Airhead” to recognize his contributions

[ScottinVA]

Amazing the steps taken to suck up to a militant few. The progs would love nothing more than to eliminate the military altogether, but failing that, the radical feminization of it will do for now.

I am for socialism, disarmament and ultimately for abolishing the state itself as an instrument of violence and compulsion. I seek the social ownership of property, abolition of the propertied class and the sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.

That statement by one of the founders of the ACLU is now required practice in the federal government.

“Hi. I’m an ‘air’.”

Hm ....

Hi, I’m an air-head.

Uh ...

Hi, I’m an air-person.

Nah ...

Hi, I’m an air, uh, being.

Nah ...

Now this ... !

“Hi, I’m an Air Girl.”

Hot!

Or ...

“Hi, I’m an air babe.”

I bet she is.

There we go.

[Cowman]

You do realize this problem is twice as bad for a Mailman.

[American in Israel]

I propose air fodder.

[hattend]

Zoomies

[Hang'emAll]

Let’s drop man from human

Makes as much sense

[trebb]

And soon, we will no longer be known as “Mankind” even as a collective for the Human Race....

One of the reasons I retired from Air Force in 1987 was, they were considering changing the name of the “Airman” magazine to the “Air-person” magazine. I could see a lot of other changes coming down the pike, and I was unwilling to go down that politically correct highway.

So. It’s “Air”

[puppypusher]

Now this is one of the dubmist ideas I have heard comming out of the Dept. of the Air Force.All to be politically correct.

[Darteaus94025]

We use to call them “Wingnuts”.

[Bender2]

Gadzooks-- Next thing you know, they will say 'Fembot'... is sexist!

How... could that be?

Beats me! Another Lone Star, Bendy? Or... do we go back to bed?

[jagusafr]

I posted previously that every single female AF member I spoke to in my 30-year (just ended) career is proud to be called an airman. Same sh*t, different day.

[panaxanax]

We always called our lady mailman the fe-maleman.

[GreyFriar]

Airpenis and Airvagina. And Airconfused for transgenders.

[PLMerite]

Or, as one of my friends then in the Army called it, a “fag French surrender hat.” I don’t think the officer he said it to objected.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Maybe the best bet is “airholes”.
