WAS MAN EXPLAINING TO CANADIANS THAT THEY SHOULD NOT USE THE WORD MANKIND AND THE U.S. SCHOOL AGREES. WRITING GUIDE AT PURDUE UNIVERSITY ACCREDITED SCHOOL APPARENTLY TELLS STUDENTS TO AVOID WORDS LIKE MAILMAN AND MANKIND IN ORDER TO HAVE NONSEXIST NON-BIASED WRITING. CATHY AREU IS FOUNDER AND PUBLISHER OF CATALINA MAGAZINE AND SHE THINK SHE AGREES. SHE JOINS US TONIGHT. CATHY, GOOD TO SEE YOU. >> HI, GOOD TO SEE YOU. >> Tucker: I HAVE GOT TO SAY LECTURING US ABOUT SEXISM WHILE YOU ARE SITTING RIGHT NOW IN MANHATTAN. >> MANHATTAN. WE NEED TO RENAME THE CITY THEN. >> Tucker: YEAH. >> THE BIG APPLE. THE BIG APPLE WOULD BE LESS OFFENSIVE. I WOULD BE SITTING IN THE APPLE NOT MANHATTAN. >> Tucker: WHY SHOULD THE POST OFFICE DELIVER MAIL. >> IT'S M-A-I-L THAT'S OKAY. IF IT'S M-A-L-E THAT'S THE PROBLEM. >> Tucker: IT'S NOT SPELLING IT'S GENDER INCLUSIVE. MALE IS OFFENSIVE. WE JUST LEARNED THAT. >> I DON'T THINK THEY ARE INCLUDING THAT BUT THEY ARE SAYING THAT SOCIETY HAS CHANGED AND TIMES ARE CHANGING AND WE DON'T WANT TO BE OFFENSIVE IN OUR LANGUAGE. AND THEY ARE TRYING AND THEY ARE TRY TG AND THEY ARE TRY TO BE NONSEXIST AND NON-BIASED AND THAT MEANS TRYING TO TAKE THE WORD MAN OUT. INSTEAD OF MAN MADE IT WOULD BE SYNTHETIC. INSTEAD OF MAILMAN IT WOULD BE MAIL CARRIER. THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO GO AROUND IT INSTEAD OF HUMANITY YOU SAY -- >> MAILMAN HAS MAIL IN IT? >> M-A-I-L. >> CAN YOU CHANGE A VOWEL BUT IT SOUNDS THE SAME. HAS THAT DREADED WORD THAT SENDS PEOPLE SHRIEKING FOR SAFE SPACE MALE. >> THINK ARE SAYING MAN. MAN IS THE WORD THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO AVOID. THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE WORD MAN IS ASSOCIATED WITH ADULT MEN AS OPPOSED TO JUST HUMANITY OR HUMANS. SO, THEY ARE TRYING TO AVOID THE WORD MAN SO IF WE COULD ELIMINATE THAT WORD, THEN THINGS WOULD BE MUCH BETTER AND PEOPLE WOULD BE LESS ONGEGDED. OFFENDED. >> Tucker: WHAT IF YOU LIVED IN MANCHESTER, VERMONT. >> THEY MIGHT HAVE TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE CITY IF PEOPLE AGREE WITH PURDUE UNIVERSITY. AND PURDUE UNIVERSITY FOUND THAT THINGS NEED TO BE UPDATED AND THEY UPDATED THEIR WRITING GUIDE TO TAKE OUT THESE WORDS THAT APPARENTLY ARE OFFENDING CERTAIN GROUPS OF PEOPLE. >> Tucker: SO, OKAY, JUST TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THE RULE. IF SOMETHING OFFENDS SOMEBODY, EVEN IF YOU HAVE NEVER MET THAT PERSON, PERSONALLY. >> RIGHT. >> Tucker: YOU HAVE TO CHANGE IT. SO DOESN'T THAT MEAN THAT A SMALL GROUP OF SUPER UNHAPPY PEOPLE GET TO CONTROL WHAT THE REST OF US SAY AND THINK? >> PERHAPS THEY ARE AHEAD OF THEIR TIME. MAYBE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS OFFENDING A SMALL GROUP BUT THE GROUP IS GOING TO GET LARGER AND TIMES ARE CHANGING. AND OUR LANGUAGE IS DYNAMIC. WEBSTER KEEPS ADDING NEW WORDS IN THE DICTIONARY. SO OUR LANGUAGE NEEDS TO CHANGE....
