Political Correctness Watch: "The EEB Language Project" Lists "Harmful Terms"

EEB = Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.

   The terrible, horrible, no good, very bad words (and phrases) include 'male,' 'female,' 'man,' 'woman,' 'mother,' 'father,' 'citizen science' (because harmful to non-citizens, bigot), 'gender' (because...well, it says can be confused with 'sex'), 'survival of the fittest' (because eugenics! "ableism"! social Darwinism!...huh?) and my favorites: 'blind' and 'double-blind'.

   Ten years ago, smart money would say this was a joke...

   ...but today? I guess it means that the sciences are just as stupid as the humanities and social "sciences"...

Addendum: Dawkins tells 'em to get bent.
