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.

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.

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.
