As part of its “inclusive language” policy, a university in the United Kingdom passed a guidance that bans several phrases from being said on campus. According to The Telegraph, Cardiff Metropolitan University declared that only “gender-neutral” terms should be utilized on campus. Some of the words that are banned include but are not limited to: “manpower,” forefathers,” “mankind,” and “sportsmanship.” A student who utilizes such words could violate the school’s harassment policy, resulting in disciplinary actions against them.
Here is the list the university provided from its Code of Practice on using Inclusive Language:
