United Nations Tosses Boyfriend, Girlfriend Husband, Wife in favor of “gender neutral” terms

The United Nations is taking part in international language policing of gender specific words.

The United Nations is taking part in international language policing of gender specific words.

As stated on the UN website page called Gender-Inclusive Language explains their beliefs that “using gender-inclusive language means speaking and writing in a way that does not discriminate against a particular sex, social gender or gender identity, and does not perpetuate gender stereotypes.” Furthermore, the Background and Purpose section of this page details that “using gender-inclusive language is a powerful way to promote gender equality and eradicate gender bias.”

“The Guidelines available on this website include a number of recommendations to help United Nations staff to use gender-inclusive language in any type of communication — oral or written, formal or informal, or addressed to an internal or external audience.”

This list or ‘dictionary’ was shared first by the official Twitter page UN Women, and upon being shared on their main Twitter account, was immediately ambushed by users who did not want to be told what is acceptable language to use, and meme makers who mocked the thought policing implications made by this tweet.

There is no UNMen.org

People have been describing the policing of language as Orwellian since the beginning of big tech censorship, but as the Spectaor points out, “George Orwell popularized the word ‘thoughtcrime’, but he also wrote extensively about the destruction of language.”

According to the UN, the new normal includes the elimination of any gender specific words until or unless the gender of an individual is determined or when not speaking to group of men and women.

The word ‘landlord’ appears on this list even though it doesn’t appear gender specific. According to the UN, ‘owner’ is the more politically correct term. So, instead of saying “ I owe money to my landlords,” the UN would prefer you say, “I owe money to my owners.”
