The Princeton University HR department has largely wiped the word man from its vocabulary.
The relatively new (policy)[Guidelines for Using Gender Inclusive Languag] in effect at the Ivy League institution spells out the directive in a four-page memo that aims to make the department more gender inclusive.
Instead of using man, employees are told to use words such as human beings, individuals or people.

Don't miss the gender guide lines to see Political Correctness on steroids+......Word to anyone with a brain wanting their children to succeed in life...don't send your child to Princeton it is a failed institution of learning. Many of their graduates end up working for the Government......

They may no longer refer to the Lazy Boy recliner as such. In fact, people or person is speciest. From now on, such furniture will be referred to as lazy things and Princeton graduates and faculty member will be collectively referred to as idiots.

Look at the bright side: the “man” can’t keep you down no more.

So instead of “men” and “women”, it’s now “human beings” and “women”? That will go over well.

Further proof that liberalism is a form of mental illness.

Did Princeton HR notify God of the change in vocabulary? God used ‘man’ and ‘woman’ a lot in the Bible.

Stop using the word “university”, “college, or “school”. It scares some people.

Likely because there aren’t any there.
