One of the most annoying aspects of political correctness to me is that mankind must be humankind, that he must be she and that gender, unless it is represented as female, is an offense if it is assumed. I give you changes in the Bible. All through law school, I saw in the textbooks how "she" replaced "he" in non-gender specific refrences. I guess mankind isn't a species, only human kind is. Wait, maybe it should be huwoman...or huperson. Or maybe there are a ton of people out there who think the worst thing in the world is that you be able to think freely. There is only goodspeak and badspeak. The 1 and 0 of computer language can be shoved upon us by those who seek to control our thoughts by eliminating words out of language.
