Crazy bitches ban man at Princeton

Not the Onion:

The Princeton University HR department has largely wiped the word “man” from its vocabulary.

You can feel the I.Q. drop.

Instead of using “man,” employees are told to use words such as human beings, individuals or people. Other guidelines? Instead of “man and wife” use spouses or partners. Switch out “man made” with artificial, handmade or manufactured. Don’t use the verb “to man,” as in to work something, instead use to operate or to staff. Throw out workmanlike and replace it with skillful.

(Laughs.) Yeah, well, you know, that's just like your opinion, man.

The crazy goes deep:

While Princeton’s language policy for its Offices of Communications and Human Resources, Princeton’s LGBT Center also offers a guide on various gender pronouns for those who identify as “transgender, genderqueer, and other gender-variant,” suggesting “ze, zie and hir,” “they and theirs,” and “Ey, em, eir and emself.”
