Berkeley Bans Gender Language : Minority Rule!

Again and again, how is it that .03% of the population can dictate such a complete change in the way we communicate.

What and who must have performed some kind of massive hypnosis on nearly the entire population of leadership in our country and probably the world?

What ever happened to majority rule and minority right?

Are we that gullible and easily manipulated into doing  the will of such a small minority of individuals? Little wonder then many of common sense are rightly fearful that the leadership will be equally subservient to someone that demands the total power for control and those that are at the controls will capitulate. 

Apparently so. It stands to reason also that the leadership in most case of acquiescence to a vocal minority are all progressive socialist liberal democrats, it is then reasonable as well to believe if we want to save our selves from the grip of tyrants is to never, ever vote democrat again!!! They mean to do us all harm!

City of Berkeley Bans Gendered Words Like ‘Manhole’ and ‘Manpower’ From Code Book

One of California’s most liberal cities voted Tuesday to revamp its city code book by replacing terms like “manhole” and “manpower” with gender-neutral terms.

The Berkeley City Council voted to replace around three dozen terms found in the municipal code. Terms like “policeman,” “policewoman,” “chairwoman,” and “chairman” will be changed, as will “he,” “she,” “him,” and “her.”

Rigel Robinson, the Democratic city council member who wrote the ordinance, said the change is necessary because a “male-centric” city code is “inaccurate and not reflective of our reality.”

“Women and non-binary individuals are just as entitled to accurate representation. Our laws are for everyone, and our municipal code should reflect that,” Robinson told CNN.

The measure passed without debate Tuesday night. It will cost the city $600 to implement the
ordinance.

“Ombudsman” will become “ombuds,” while “manhole” will be replaced in the code book with “maintenance hole.”

“Human effort” will take the place of “manpower.”

Cities and companies across the U.S., as well as the U.S. military, have in recent years adopted gender-neutral language amid a larger debate about transgender rights. The Canadian government in March 2018 also ordered government agencies to stop using gendered terms like “Mr.,” “Mrs.,” and “mother.”
