Urges people to stop saying “boyfriend” & “girlfriend” in order to “create a more equal world.”
The United Nations has put out a tweet asserting that people shouldn’t use politically incorrect terms like “boyfriend,” “girlfriend,” “husband” and “wife” in order to “help create a more equal world.”
“What you say matters. Help create a more equal world by using gender-neutral language if you’re unsure about someone’s gender or are referring to a group,” states the tweet.
It then lists a number of terms alongside their politically correct alternative.
These include mankind, chairman, congressman, policeman, landlord, boyfriend/girlfriend, manpower, maiden name, fireman and husband/wife.

If Woodrow Wilson could have foreseen this is what his "League" would become, he would have spent more of his time drinking and playing golf instead.

I think I'm going to have to simplify my language by saying "fuck you" a whole lot more.
Welcome to Canada, always ahead of the game with our Communist leader JT who corrects people mid question to say "people-kind" or "person-kind".
Every time someone mentions their partner, I figure they are gay anyhow! That is where the expression began and that is where it can remain IMHO.
The UN can bow out. Just like the WHO. We do not want their enforced BS.
