Take a look at this article about Princeton's recent policy change regarding not using man.
The article claims the policy will attempt to eliminate other involvements due to using any incorporation of the word man. To me that is the reality that is being missed. When using man as in mankind or man up there is no attempt to exclude anybody else by gender or flavor or sexual flavor of the month.
It is another minority, isolated incident or some intellectual, nothing better to do activist seeking notoriety. One would think educational institutions would know better. Instead they seem to procreate this non sensicle BS.

"Cramer clarified Princeton’s policy in a similar way, saying “these are guidelines issued by HR, developed in cooperation with Institutional Equity Planning Group for communication and job postings. Students are not mandated to follow this policy?”"
It's an office policy so the answer is no.
and
Whom should be used to refer to the object of a sentence. When in doubt, try this simple trick: If you can replace the word with 'he' or 'she,' use who. If you can replace it with 'him' or 'her,' use whom.
So it should read:
Going too far to please whom?
ps--thanks for something new to read and think about

This is what happens when people have too much time on their hands due to white men creating a wealthy and enriching environment.
This will end soon as white men are replaced by the less docile minority men. They won't put up with it. You pushed too far girls...you blew it...in 30 years, you'll have lost it all. Go watch hispanic or black television...see what THEY think of women. Oh, the irony. You think WE were bad?

Raise your hand if you didn't see this coming. Now see if you can guess how Hillery caused this problem with or without intent.

Raise your hand if you didn't realize how far along the 3rd world destruction of this country really is...from age 6 down they ARE the majority. Next year age 7 and down. In ten years, age 16 and down. In twenty years, age 26 and down.
You're giving away your nation, your country, your culture, your society...to 3rd world idiots. WTF is wrong with you?
You feel THAT bad about being better than them?
Hillary didn't cause this, greed did. The D and R party caused it. Hillary is helping it along, hastening our demise.

Sure, but not a pretty. Why reinvent the wheel?

Older keyboard. The "s" did not function properly or the finger glanced off of the key.
Supposed to have said:
"Sure, but NOT as pretty." You had the same problem when you omitted the word "not" when you replied.
Too bad, you aren't as critical of your candidate.
