EU EU calls for 'gendered language' to be banned, with phrases such as 'no man's land' or 'Joe Public' axed - and 'king and queen' phrased 'queen and king' to put the female first

The EU has called for 'gendered language' such as 'no man's land' and 'Joe Public' to be axed.

A 61-page document advises policymakers, legislators and the media to revise the order of common phrases such as 'King and Queen' or 'brother and sister' in which the male comes first.

It suggests to 'try swapping the order of these phrases sometimes'.

Bureaucrats say 'Joe Public' should be replaced with 'average citizen' and 'no man's land' should be substituted with 'unclaimed territory'.

Tory MP Nick Fletcher has called the guidelines 'nonsense' and argued that the EU had 'far more serious issues' that it should be concerned about.

The 'Toolkit on Gender-sensitive Communication' document compiled by the The European Institute for Gender Equality highlights language that needs to be changed and notes alternatives.

It also notes that terms such as 'shrill' and 'pushy' have 'strong connotations that are strongly associated with only women' and should be replaced with 'high-pitched' and 'assertive' respectively.

It says that 'virile', considered 'strongly associated with only men', should be substituted with 'strong or energetic'.

The famous Star Trek line, 'To boldly go where no man has gone before', is noted in the bundle as an example for which 'women may be subject to invisibility or omission'.

Don Valley MP Nick Fletcher told The Telegraph: 'I think it's nonsense, especially when there's far more serious issues going on at the moment that we need to be concerned about.

'The EU needs to take a good hard look at themselves and think about what other problems are going on in the world at the moment.'

He added: 'We've got wars being waged, an energy crisis and a lot of countries are dealing with the same kind of problems that we are in the UK.

'Things like this are a waste of our time.'

Former Tory MP Ann Widdecombe told The Sun: 'It's ridiculous.'

Nigel Mills, Conservative MP for Amber Valley, told the newspaper: 'This is utter madness. It's an attack on the English language.'

Even though Britain officially left the EU in January 2020, English is still its official language.

How can an entire continent be this homosexual?

Man refers to species, as in human.

Even though Britain officially left the EU in January 2020, English is still its official language.

Also the official language of the only parts of the world that matter, and also the de facto international language. If a Frenchman and a Chinese man meet and neither speak each other's language, they are most likely to both speak English and get away with that. Have heard of exactly that happening amongst different nationalities many times.

It also notes that terms such as 'shrill' and 'pushy' have 'strong connotations that are strongly associated with only women'

Shrill I agree with being associated with women, usually because it's being used to describe women. Pushy though is bollocks, men are described as being too pushy all the time.

On top of this, the EU are niggers.

The reason king and queen is better is simply because it rolls off the tongue more.

The worst thing about all this newspeak is that it sounds like crap.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

Bureaucrats say 'Joe Public' should be replaced with 'average citizen' and 'no man's land' should be substituted with 'unclaimed territory'.

I suggest every women behind the document to go enter to a modern "unclaimed territory" (specifically a Ukrainian one) and see how well it goes for them.

One small step for Man, one giant leap for Mankind

 

[Divine right to rule]

Like the Soviet Union, just with less starvation and more Niggers and Trannies.

The worst thing about all this newspeak is that it sounds like crap.

Queen Joan Crawford and King Albert Steele sounds better to me.

The worst thing about all this newspeak is that it sounds like crap.

Still don't have a clue how "Latinx" is supposed to be pronounced, not that it matters.

'shrill' and 'pushy' have 'strong connotations that are strongly associated with only women' and should be replaced with 'high-pitched' and 'assertive' respectively.

that 'virile', considered 'strongly associated with only men', should be substituted with 'strong or energetic'.

these arnt even accurate substitutes.

shrill and high-pitched dont necessarily mean the same thing. nor does pushy and assertive.
and there is more meaning to virile than being strong or energetic.

it's taking these words and making them less descriptive.

 

[Big Brown Schlub]

Like the Soviet Union, just with less starvation and more Niggers and Trannies.

Less starvation YET. It's coming.

 

[Merton J. Dingle]

If there's any mention of trannies on their site, it's buried. I would have expected this shit to come from that crowd.

Honestly, when will people learn that you cannot erase the past just because you're unhappy with it?

 

[Lone MacReady II]

How can an entire continent be this homosexual?

Being controlled by (((Americanda))) for 80 years has dire consequences...

these arnt even accurate substitutes.

shrill and high-pitched dont necessarily mean the same thing. nor does pushy and assertive.
and there is more meaning to virile than being strong or energetic.

it's taking these words and making them less descriptive.

IRL idiocracy has always been the goal. Easily controlled sheepish zombies... the prerogative of the Kike Masters is Chaos and Stupidity for the Plebs.

 

[RussianBlonde]

I'm wondering who's brilliant idea was that, since the EU has 24 official languages (with English, German and French being the higher rank).

Are there language amendment guidelines being issued for the other 23 languages too?

I didn't know they had gender equality agency, it must be recent creation and people who work there probably want to prove their worth but this is fucking bullshit.

You wanna help gender equality focus on things like childcare for single moms so they can go back to work. Nobody gives a shit about King being before Queen.

That newspeak shit has to end. It's exhausting.

 

[WonderWino]

and 'no man's land' should be substituted with 'unclaimed territory'.

No mans land is not unclaimed territory. Its literally disputed territory claimed by both sides

Everybody involved in this shit is an idiot who can't even get basic facts right

 

[rusty shackleford 1]

Why hasn’t the world collectively gotten together to tell these people to just shut the fuck up? Why does queen have to go before king when these people act like defining womanhood is some elusive concept that only the privileged few can grasp?

 

[Battlefield2142EU]

Like the Soviet Union, just with less starvation and more Niggers and Trannies.

Censoring and the controlling language one of the signs of a civilization that about collapse. Another one is wide spread normalization of LGBT lifestyles by the state. The west has both.

 

[Executive Petrel]

Ok never say "men bad", "evil", "white" and "racist" again.

 

[The Ugly One]

Bureaucrats say 'Joe Public' should be replaced with 'average citizen' and 'no man's land' should be substituted with 'unclaimed territory'.

Someone tell me how to say "average citizen" in Spanish or Portuguese or Italian without using gender. The largest English-speaking country in the EU is Ireland, maybe they should make it a little less obvious how badly they want to suck up to American progressives.
