The World Needs More Cowboys. This proposed new slogan for the University of Wyoming was meant to be inclusive, by design, according to the marketing campaign flier that was obtained by The Chronicle of Higher Education. This is not a campaign to reinforce regressive stereotypes of Cowboys from the pop-cultural past, the flier states. This is a campaign to rewrite them. The flier goes on to explain how this campaign is an opportunity to celebrate people in every corner because Cowboys come in every sex, shape, color and creed at the University of Wyoming.

More political Correctness. It was claimed that having Indian mascots was making fun of the indigenous people. Now it is seen as promoting White Males.
The left just wants to destroy Everything.

So call the women's teams "cowgirls."
Or rather, "cowwomen."

Complaints such these are the canary in the mineshaft. The school contains inferior intellects not qualified to even serve on the janitorial staff.
Find them, shame then, fire them, then prepare to get served coffee by them at the only place accepting of poor minds and weak egos: Starbucks.

I'm a proud grad. I was raised in the city and never lived on a ranch, but I'm a Cowboy. Everyone is who attends UW. Nothing sexist about it.
More PC runamuck.
To: RedMonqey
In reality, the cowboy culture embraced anyone who was willing to work hard: white, black (from Buffalo Soldiers to freed slaves), Mexican nationals, Chinese, Protestant, Catholic, and even Jews (think Levi Strauss, and yes, there were plenty of Jewish cowboys — one even died in the Alamo).
Stupid.
Or maybes it’s the “must work hard” part the liberals don’t like.

All of Fordham’s athletic teams answer to Let’s Go Rams. 40 years ago thr women’s hoops team was called the Ewes. The girls objected and women’s teams all became Rams. For how long...
Who knows.

Cowboy
Cow = = female
boy = = male
So Cowboy is already Transgendered!
Ahead of it’s time.

It just burns my biscuits that these malcontented, irritable, grouchy, nitpicking, mean, dissatisfied, socially handicapped, empathy-deficient, loveless, humorless, man-shaming, repellent, aggravating, small-minded, perpetually-offended academic feminists claim to represent ALL WOMEN.
>_<
Let's stop humoring their delusions of grandeur.
