[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, that article really was depressing. Interesting that there's been quite a bit about Stanford in the news lately - including their idiotic "harmful language/forbidden words" nonsense.  Too bad.  I always thought Stanford would remain independent of all the liberal nuttery, but I guess not.[/quote]

The forbidden language thing was for the IT people who wrote official content for their website. Stop letting clickbait get you worked up![/quote]

PP here and I’m well aware of that.  That doesn’t change the fact that the “official content” was indeed, officially for Stanford.  How about you stop being an apologist for idiocy?[/quote]

In other words, even a minimal amount of clickbait will cause me to set my hair on fire. [/quote]

C’mon.   Calling students “frosh” instead of freshmen is stupid.   Women have been part of freshman classes for decades and no one was confused about it.   Freshmen includes women.  It’s insulting to think women can’t handle that or realize it’s being used generically.  [/quote]

Just like the words, "chairman, ombudsman, etc."  These are not offensive words in any way.  But trust LWNJs to insist otherwise.[/quote]

And trust RWNJs to lose their sh^t over it. If it doesn’t matter one way then changing it shouldn’t matter either. [/quote]

What kind of "logic" is that?  If it didn't matter [u]to begin with[/u], then why do some twits think it should be changed?   :roll: [/quote]
