Berzerkley on Point (Again)

Whenever there's some retarded social justice cause du jour on offer, you can usually find Berkeley in the lead. Once again, they do not disappoint:

Soon, there will be no more manholes in the city of Berkeley, California. There will also be no chairmen, no manpower, no policemen or policewomen. No, that doesn't mean a whole city will be without committee leaders and law enforcement. It means that words that imply a gender preference will be removed from the city's codes and replaced with gender-neutral terms, according a recently adopted ordinance.

The city voted Tuesday night to replace gendered terms in its municipal codes, like "manhole" and "manpower," with gender-neutral ones like "maintenance hole" and "human effort." The item passed without discussion or comments and was not controversial, said Berkeley City Council member Rigel Robinson, the bill's primary author.

"There's power in language," Robinson said. "This is a small move, but it matters."


No, Rigel. The only power in words is what you allow others to have over you. "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." I learned that in MOTHERFUCKING PRESCHOOL you pathetic sniveling twat-waffle. If you can't actually be a man, at least try to imitate one.
