Full headline: "Do not refer to female pupils as 'girls' or 'ladies' because it 'reminds them of their gender', headteachers told"

[Slyfox]

So, don’t call them girls, just hold up a mirror to their faces.

Is a Former Mental Health Czar like a Former Language Nazi?

Are they ashamed of their sex?

Most of the Female students are girls

I never thought I would live long enough to see mass stupitity rule the day....

> the Government’s former mental health tsar has said <

That’s gotta be a misprint. I’m sure they meant to say “former mental health patient”.

Miss Jean Brodie does not approve of this directive.

I knew that the stupidest students, the silliest professors, and the worst bull courses are concentrated in schools of education.

Ms Devon said...

"Ms" is inappropriate here. The proper non-sexist designation is "thing."

"Thing Devon said..."

““I think actually in some ways boys are more constrained by the expectation of their gender,” she said”

And while trying to lay out an argumentative symposium on the sexist treatment of women based upon her theories of equality and reaction to identity, she makes a comment like this.

Next step:
Do not refer to fellow homo-sapiens as “people”, “person”, “human”, etc., as this may conflict with their inner view of their species.
Use only descriptors such as “homonid”, “mammal”, “animal”, etc.

Next:
Do not refer to fellow homonids as “mammal”, “animal”, etc., as this may put limitations on their view of their own capabilities.
Use only descriptors such as “being”, “existor”, “mortal”, etc.

And then:
Do not refer to fellow beings as “existor”, “mortal, etc., as this could put undue stress on their inner dialogue regarding their place in the universe.
Use only descriptors such as “almighty”, “you whose name may not be uttered”, “supernatural essence”, etc.

Finally:
Do not refer to other essences. They are of their own world and shall not be presumed to interact with those who foolishly use their capacity to speak as they will.

So do you address them by saying “hey youze”?

[DakotaRed]

From what is being heard all over, some need to be reminded of their gender.

You can’t fool nature, you can only fool yourself.

[bigbob]

Oh for cripesake! I swear, if I had to put up with this nonsense on a daily basis I might be one of those who just snaps and starts plinking at teachers. Insane.

[metmom]

I think they are reminded every time they use the bathroom.

In Miss Brody’s defense, the word she used was something like “gerrrrrels.”
