The Ivy League is till sexist after all these years, apparently. Because there are new rules stamping it out.
As reported by The College Fix, a memo issued by HR wizards at Princeton University instructs employees to nix words like “mankind” and “manmade” in favor of “humankind” or “handmade“.
Other verboten terms include “manpower“, “workmanlike“, and “layman“, as well as the phrase “man & wife“. Can’t have that.
Princeton spokesman John Cramer explains that the guidelines “reflect the university’s initiative of fostering an inclusive environment.”
This is what happens when academia is steered by cabals of perpetually offended feminists.
No doubt the offensive name “Princeton” will soon have to go, since it’s got the non-inclusive “prince” in there. For many reasons, it will be replaced by “Pauperton”. Or, just call it Comrade U.
