University bans phrases such as 'mankind' and 'gentleman's agreement' in favour of gender-neutral terms

A UK university has been accused of censoring free speech for banning phrases such as ?right-hand man? and ?gentleman?s agreement? in favour of more inclusive, gender neutral language.

Cardiff Metropolitan University?s revised code of practice states more appropriate terms should be used where possible, adding that students should not allow their ?cultural background? to affect their choice of words on campus.

?Forefathers?, ?mankind? and ?sportsmanship? are also on the list of 34 words and phrases to be avoided as part of efforts to ?embrace cultural diversity? by the university.

Students and staff could face disciplinary procedures if they fail to adhere to the language policy, but some have accused Cardiff Metropolitan of restricting their free speech, labelling the policy an ?insulting? attempt to dictate their choice of words.

what about woman?

I don't have a problem with most of those. They are common sense.

Mankind specifies a gender representing our species, which is a false narrative and gives no acknowledgement to women. We are humankind in reality, the human race, not the man race.

This is a slipery slope that needs to be monitored though, you don't want it getting out of hand like the 50 different sexual preferences non binary, sisgender bullshit
