Gender madness is being enforced with the iron fist of bad grades at some of Australia’s leading universities. Natasha Bita of the Courier-Mail of Brisbane reports:
Queensland’s top universities all demand that “inclusive language” be used in essays, assignments, lectures and conversation, in “nanny state” policies rubbished yesterday by an angry federal Education Minister.
Other words – including “she”, “man”, “wife” and “mother” – are also off limits at some universities.
University of Queensland students have complained about academics docking marks for using the word “mankind” in essays.
A politics student was penalised for using the grammatically correct pronoun of “she” to describe a car.
“People are losing marks for using everyday speech because it’s not gender-neutral,” the student, who asked to remain anonymous, told The Courier Mail yesterday.
“I lost marks because I used ‘mankind” in my assignment, and I referred to a car I owned as ‘she is my pride and joy’.”
