UN shares new words to promote gay rights
The United Nations has, in an apparent bid to promote gay rights, gender neutrality and woman empowerment, recommended that speakers of English language should stop using some gender-specific terms but should instead use neutral words.
The UN said in a tweet that rather than use the terms husband and wife, people should rather use the term ‘spouse’.
Similarly, the UN recommended that the words ‘boyfriend’ and ‘girlfriend’ be dropped in favour of ‘partner’ which is gender-neutral.
The term mankind should be changed to humankind while salesman should be dropped in favour of salesperson.
The UN further advised that the word ‘chair’ be used instead of ‘chairman’ while businessman should be dropped in favour of ‘representative’.
The word firefighter should be used in place of fireman while salesman should be changed to salesperson.
Other modifications include ‘owner’ in place of ‘landlord’ and ‘workforce’ in place of ‘manpower.’
Police officer should be used in place of ‘policeman’ according to the UN.
