BBC discover Mankind

Dec 04, 2014 4 Replies

After years dismissing or denigrating men's achievements, the feminist-biased BBC today announced that the Mars mission would be for "mankind". Usually they just say "men and women" to emphasise that some women just happen to be present (eg Iraq. Afghanistan etc etc - how many women v. men killed?)



Recently, when reporting the last remaining floating warship from WWI, we were told, it was crewed by "people".



Of course any sensible person knows that "Mankind" includes both genders - except the BBC who have suddenly (conveniently) realized it. We may now expect to see "womankind" in all sorts of bizarre usage.


You must be very very bored.

There are older waships than that still floating.

As presumably are lots of BBC execs in the social engineering dept

its a bit like Differently abled instead of disabled all over again. Could we not all learn not to be so precious and assume what they meant instead of trying to be so precise. Most people we used to call actresses now call themselves actors. This genderisation is a historic thing so as many words betray their history, we really all should get a life. Brian
