Isn’t “hand-built” triggering for people who don’t have hands?
Stop doing woke, Britain.
It’s over.
For at least like, two years, we’re not doing this weird shit.
We’ve put a halt on it.
See the recent Democrat National Convention. They didn’t talk about trannies even once. We’ve put a hold on all woke gibberish for a minimum of 2 years or at least 18 months.
Stop it.
A United Nations agency has been branded ‘Orwellian’ after it told staff not to use the term ‘Englishman’ in the latest crackdown on ‘gendered’ language.
The Geneva-based World Intellectual Property Organisation – which protects trademarks and patents globally – has also vetoed masculine terms including ‘forefathers’ and ‘brotherhood of man’.
Even ‘man’s best friend’ has been blacklisted – with ‘a faithful dog’ to be used instead. And ‘birth attendant’ is suggested as an alternative to ‘midwife’.
The move comes after the British Red Cross was accused of having been ‘hijacked by political extremists’ after clamping down on phrases such as ‘ladies and gentlemen’ and ‘maiden name’.
According to the ‘Guidelines on inclusive language’ published by the UN agency – known as WIPO – using ‘masculine-specific’ terms risks giving the impression that ‘women are not represented in certain groups or do not possess certain skills’.
Among the terms staff should not use are Englishman – with ‘English person’ or ‘English national’ given as alternatives.
Yeah, I think you’re not allowed to acknowledge the existence of “English people” either.
We’re all just human, after all. And most humans are niggers.
‘Man in the street’ should be replaced by ‘ordinary citizen’ or ‘typical person’, while the word ‘sportsmanlike’ is to be avoided in favour of ‘fair’ or ‘sporting’.
Caveman or cavewoman are both frowned upon, with the guide suggesting ‘cave dweller’ or ‘prehistoric people’, while ‘humanity’ is preferred to ‘the brotherhood of man’.
A separate list of gender-neutral terms for occupations advises replacing ‘lumberjack’ with ‘wood chopper’ or ‘logger’ and waiter/waitress with ‘wait staff’ or, ‘server’.
Another on the list is ‘midwife’, with the suggested alternative given as ‘birth attendant’ – although the guide does concede that midwife ‘may still be the preferable term, depending on the context’.
Last night Toby Young, founder of the Free Speech Union, said: ‘This is precisely what George Orwell warned us about.
‘Banning certain words and phrases to advance a dogmatic political ideology is a hallmark of totalitarianism.’
Yeah, I guess.
I don’t know.
I’m sort of tired of people referencing 1984.
How about talking about the Talmud instead?
