Social Berkeley, California, to Remove Gendered Language Like 'Manhole' and 'Manpower' from City Codes

[BearGrounds]

The city of Berkeley, California, voted to move forward with an ordinance that would remove gendered language from its municipal codes, replacing it with gender-neutral terminology.

The Berkeley city council voted on the measure on Tuesday, according to CNN. The outlet reports that the primary author of the bill, council member Rigel Robinson, said that the measure passed without discussion or controversy.

You've got to be kidding me. People downplayed Trudeau's "peoplekind" correction of some random young lady who used the term "mankind".

Now we get this ridiculousness, where people are obviously dead serious about it in the Berkley area. Ten years ago this would be a comedy movie nobody would believe could be remotely real.

But.... those are actual words. Webster defined real words. I.... I have no words for this. What in the actual fuck.

Such an effective use of their time, dealing with these major issues

Inb4 someone says you care about identity politics because you made a thread about it, rather than the politicians creating ordinances like this being the ones partaking in identity politics

What's real sad is there are fellow sherbros that probably support this insane train of thought... And we'll get to hear all about how its the right thing to do.

Nex they should ban Spanish since all their nouns are assigned a gender

 

[Bloody Pulp]

I mean, a manhole probably should’ve been called a womanhole to begin with if you think about it. A dark hole with dudes climbing down in it after donning protective gear and a hard hat.

I live about an hour from Berkeley. I'm left leaning in a lot of aspects but this is just ridiculous. Stuff like this is going to push the moderate left further right. This is why I'm not registered as a dem. I can't be associated with shit like this.

Thats a good point. What are their opinions on languages that assign genders to things? German is notorious for this for example.

Add French and Italian to that list.
