So <em>THAT\u2019S<\/em> how men have been dominating civilization for thousands of years, by our ingenious master plan to brainwash humanity into believing men were superior by the insidious manipulation of roadsigns!<\/h2>\n<h2>First of all, your dorkness, have you ever driven past road crews<\/h2>\n<h2>The sign \u201cMen at work\u201d has NEVER been accurate. The signs should have read \u201cSOME Men at work \u2026 most just watching.\u201d<\/h2>\n<h2>But it\u2019s the word \u201c<em>Men\u201d<\/em> that has her aghast. Apparently some PC feminists believe the tradition of using the word <em>man,<\/em> as an all-encompassing word referring to \u201c<em>man<\/em>kind\u201d is impossible for uneducated women to grasp.<\/h2>\n<h2>So they insult these women by demanding the word change, lest we as a society oppress them by expecting them to pick up a book now and again.<\/h2>\n<h2>Men really could care less, but the three road workers who are female must have been devastated to find they were lumped into the insulting category of being part of the human race.<\/h2>\n<h2>Those followers of the religion of Political Correctness are experts in the art of finding prejudice where it never existed before. It\u2019s a cheap way to get power.<\/h2>\n<h2>Heck even the word <em>human<\/em> could be manipulated into an insult on a slow day just to show the paranoid possibilities of the PC fundamentalists.<\/h2>\n<h2>I\u2019m waiting for the news story stating the word <em>human<\/em> is insulting to feminists because it has the word\u201cman\u201d in it and is secret code for \u201chu-<em>man<\/em>,\u201d as in the Tarzan language of \u201cyu-man?\u201d \u201cme-man too!\u201d<\/h2>\n<h2>I\u2019m surprised feminists haven\u2019t picked up on that yet. They could make a lot of money suing dictionaries for discrimination. A truly inclusive society would rename the word <em>human<\/em> to <em>hu-person<\/em>.<\/h2>\n<h2>Notice that wherever men are slighted in culture by traditions slanted towards women, we never say a word. Proof, I guess, of men\u2019s superiority when it comes to not whining. Feminists could learn from us.<\/h2>\n<h2>Men aren\u2019t asking all the great ocean liners named after women be renamed as males: (\u201cWhat\u2019s this <em>Queen Mary<\/em> nonsense, let\u2019s call the ship King Fred!\u201d) Why? Because we are more tolerant and enlightened?<\/h2>\n<h2>No. Frankly we just don\u2019t give a crap! Hurricanes are one of the most powerful forces on earth. Yet when we so honored women by only giving hurricanes feminine names, feminists found THAT insulting too, and now we alternate guy-girl hurricane names.<\/h2>\n<h2>OK, so you don\u2019t want to be associated with an unstoppable wind, but the great ocean going vessels are fine. What shortsightedness!<\/h2>\n<h2>Political Correctness is unrelenting when it comes to idiocy. <em>Fireman<\/em> is now <em>fire fighter<\/em>. But <em>policeman<\/em> hasn\u2019t changed. It will, the girls just haven\u2019t figured out what to call them yet.<\/h2>\n<h2><em>Policeperson<\/em> sounds stupid even to them. Spokesman is now <em>spokesperson<\/em>, yet <em>mankind<\/em> isn\u2019t <em>people-kind<\/em>. <em>Waitress<\/em> is <em>server<\/em> \u2013 because apparently everyone knows that just waiting on someone is MUCH more degrading then being his or her servant.<\/h2>\n<h2>Folks, we need to be constantly diligent in not just calling them on this nonsense but destroying it. We can\u2019t just comment on this junk, we need to actively eliminate it and quit buckling to these \u201cvictims\u201d who thrive through extortion because they are incapable of persuading the masses.<\/h2>\n<h2>How could they? Their ideas suck!<\/h2>\n<h2>We must move forward without a pause or all will be lost, because everyone knows what happens when<\/h2>\n<h2>men-uhhh-pause.<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did I ever tell you the story about the city of Atlanta taking down the \u201cMen at work\u201d signs from road construction\u00a0over a complaint by the editor of a feminist magazine that it was discriminatory by not including women?

From his Nashville stronghold, Stine is mounting his crusade against these hypocrisies, all of which are explored in his highly anticipated 4th album\/DVD, aptly titled \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWUSSIFICATION!' \"You know what offends me?... Offended people,\" says Stine. A staunch supporter of first amendment rights and foe of political correctness, Stine asserts that rights should be universally applied. \"In a country with guaranteed rights to freedom of religion, its citizens are constantly trying to make faith in public spheres illegal, I am offended by that contradiction and want to talk about it as a comic.\" The strength of his conviction about our freedoms can be found in many places on WUSSIFICATION \u00e2\u20ac\u201c from \"Merry Christmas Too!\" (the right to celebrate religion) to \"At Least We're Not France!\" (the responsibility to take action as a country) to \"Spank\" (the ability to discipline our children the way we see fit). What would cause the wussification of Brad Stine? \"I hope that nothing ever wussifies me to deny my own personal beliefs,\" he says. \"Brainwashed wussies have been taught that standing up for yourself and defending your personal point of view makes you a close-minded hate monger.\" Stine stops short of defending his point of view as the ONLY one, adding \"...one must also be respectful of dissenting belief while supporting their own.\" He is, after all, an inclusive figure who trains his comedy to attack ideas, not the people who embrace them. Stine's faith forces him to acknowledge the respect and dignity of all\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 even the wussies with whom he disagrees! Stine models his approach to comedy after legendary practitioners that he has known and loved over the years. Despite George Carlin's disdain for theistic beliefs, he has been a big influence on Stine. \"I always enjoyed Carlin for turning the tables on culture. He is an excellent writer that has endured for decades.\" More current comedic touchstones are Brian Reagan, Paula Poundstone, Jim Gaffigan and Monty Python, among others. Fear not, true believers \u00e2\u20ac\u201c with his brand new album, Brad Stine is here to save the world from WUSSIFICATION \u00e2\u20ac\u201c one politically-correct, offended person at a time!\"","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/author\/bstine"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/223"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=301"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":302,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301\/revisions\/302"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
