this is was my prof.'s comment regarding my essay: "GREAT essay; clear logic. To improve writing, do not use sexist language (mankind, salesman) but instead write (humanity, sales person). " I think the bitch just looked for anything to deduct points.

I doubt it - many teachers/professors would have written the same thing

11/28/2007 3:41:13 PM

wtf how are those sexist? It is used in common language. I'm pretty sure that if the President said "mankind" nobody would think twice about it.

I had that comment on papers several different times, and it was always a broad.

^^militant lesbian alliance would probably have something to say

i've just always made a point to use unisex terms to get by this sort of thing

It's "sexist" b/c it's singling out a sex (not a bad thing, just a thing)

not that I care, but that is the case. I've had it written on my essays and shit too

11/28/2007 3:46:35 PM

If I were a woman, I wouldn't be offended. I'd be too busy playing with my boobs.

11/28/2007 3:47:32 PM

neil armstrong, that sexist son of a bitch

humanity???

11/28/2007 3:49:19 PM

better hope she doesn't read tww

now she's really gonna fuck you on your final

11/28/2007 3:50:32 PM

yeah, i thought that mankind was just an accepted shortend version of humankind

and what if it was a salesman and not a saleswoman?

i think that these comments are a little gratuitous

11/28/2007 3:50:38 PM

and in all honesty in my paper I discussed buying an electronic, how often do you see a female selling electronics?

11/28/2007 3:50:42 PM

let her read it, I AINT NEVER SCURED

11/28/2007 3:51:31 PM

I'm so glad I never had anyone like that in college.

11/28/2007 3:57:05 PM

stillfurshia must still be in class...

11/28/2007 3:59:21 PM

same teacher also told me that although and alright are both two words not one, it is slang when used in one word form

The authority under which your essay was written was likely the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, which warns against bias in language (pp. 61-76). FYI.

11/28/2007 4:59:57 PM

i like their documentation

11/28/2007 5:02:09 PM

I think it's bullshit.

She needs to get over herself.

11/28/2007 5:04:11 PM

which class is this?

11/28/2007 7:05:20 PM

I hate most of the liberal arts professors. They always do crazy feminazi type shit like this.

11/28/2007 8:28:58 PM

I'd consider myself a feminist, and I still think that's fucking stupid.

11/28/2007 8:31:06 PM

good thing my screen name is not sexist.

11/28/2007 8:31:14 PM

you can't spell woman without man
