The federal government thinks it is offensive to say ‘manmade’

Published



In the latest example of left-wing linguistic totalitarianism, the Department of the Interior published a guide instructing bureaucrats to use “inclusive language” by abandoning supposedly offensive words such as “cockpit,” “husband,” and “mother.”

The guide was “developed as part of the department’s efforts to prevent and combat discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation.” It suggests that “inclusive, bias-free language” will be accepted by everyone “regardless of their gender, biological sex, race, religion, national origin, age, or generation.”
