A new word-discouragement campaign at Duke University has labeled phrases such as Man Up, Thats So Gay, and Dont Be a Pussy offensive language that delegitimizes homosexuality and oppresses and insults people.
But as the campaign has gained national popularity, its detractors have bristled at the effort, calling it a politically correct war on words that will stifle free speech and suggesting its true aim is to redefine terms to control public opinion and ultimately public policy.

I quote Baraq Hussain 0bama as saying “we’ve got to man up.” Yes, he said it. I heard it during one of those times when I wasn’t able to shut the TV off fast enough.

The latest Duke campaign is sponsored by Vagicell. I think your on to something. I've long suspected the reason the Loony Left thinks the way they do is due to Cranial yeast infection.

has Duke banned bossy yet? We have been lectured to ban bossy.
To: QT3.14
That’s so gay. Duke needs to man up and quit being such pussies. Next, “is”, “and” and “the” will be hate speech.

This subject will be very difficult for Megan Kelly or Shannon Brean to discuss on air. This kind of talk used to be limited to the locker room. It is just a sense of decency to not speak like this in ‘mixed’ company, though one might argue it should never be used.
