>Australian university students have been told not to use gender-specific words such as 'Mr', 'Mrs' and 'sportsmanlike' with one campus going to extreme lengths to ban the use of sarcasm.
>Anything with the word 'man' or titles including 'Mrs' and Miss' are off limits at Newcastle University while students at Western Sydney University are restricted from being sarcastic, The Daily Telegraph reported.
>Institute of Public Affairs research fellow Matthew Lesh said policies restricting certain words or behaviour have led to many students being accused of sexism or frowned upon for their political views.
>'We need to have a public debate about this. Universities depend on free and open intellectual debate,' Mr Lesh told the newspaper.
>'It is impossible to develop and discuss ideas in an atmosphere where certain concepts are restricted.'
>The revelation comes after it was reported that students were being taught to refer to Australia as having been 'invaded' by the British rather than discovered or settled as history books have commonly suggested.

Yes keep pushing.
It's about time.
I know many people who have been alienated by the use of such divisive and exclusive language.

Looks like you may need to actually shoot up a school, Aussie. Always lessens the number of indoctrinated libcucks and faggots.
And desu, I feel like school shootings in our country is actually a good thing. Imagine how many more SJWs would've arisen if Columbine didn't happen.
It's literally God saying he's pissed off and wants this to stop.

It's ideas like these that are the reason I'm suicidal.
>>69396882
Join the IRA or something and go bomb some SJW's. Don't make your death meaningless.
>>69397002
Similarly like I said with this post -->>>69396804
It needs to happen, Aussies.
>>69396882
How could they possibly police that? Even if they accused you for sarcasm you can just say you were speaking with an inflection
When it comes to dumb shit like this they have as much power over you as you give them.
>>69396346
what in the fuck. i talked to an australian a few years ago and hed never heard of an sjw, how does this accelerate so rapidly
>>69396346
Watch out, your flag will have a leaf on it soon too.

This, I'm in class sitting next to an Asian right now and I seriously doubt he can even pronounce "xir"
>>69400360
They've brought it on themselves, good luck trying to enforce this SJW "gender neutral" bullshit when half the students and probably 3/4 in Engineering/IT/Commerce areas are all from a non English speaking background - Double edged sword for these cucks

It's funny you say that, a guy once tried to groom me into the IRA in college. It's a funny story actually.

This is one of the few instances in which Spanish > English.

k-keep me posted
its understandable when half your population identifies as bogankin
>>69396346
SJWs can't handle the bantz?
>>69401865
I genuinely am curious about that, Spanish, Italian, German and French I believe? Presumably the SJW shit hasn't encroached those countries as much as English ones but wouldn't you need a complete overhaul of your entire language if they tried to remove gendered words?
>>69401865
Spanish also triggers SJW for other reasons. Which is nice.
>>69396698
This. People don't realize it, but these insults are actually worse than violence. Violence hurts the body, but sarcasm harms the mind.
>muh free speech
Hold it in and Save. A. Fucking. Life.
>>69402148
they are trying in portuguese by exchanging the "o' termination (male) of the male and gender neutral words for an X, but it cannot be pronounced, and it's used only in their midst,
it's like you said, there are so many cases where the male pronoun is used that you would need to reformulate the whole language
>>69401865
>must speak in 3rd singular female person with teachers otherwise it's considered for lack of respect
>>69402387
you best be trolling
>>69396346

>>69402148
>but wouldn't you need a complete overhaul of your entire language if they tried to remove gendered words?
Pretty much, yeah. For instance, we don't really have an equivalent for 'the'. We use 'el' and 'la' for masculine and feminine nouns, respectively.
>>69401882
Yeah, it started all normal, I'm a Sinn Fein supporter (Irish Republican Party, with debatable ties with the IRA, which is denied of course) and in college there was a club/society for Sinn Fein supporters to meet and chat with like minded people, something was off when the guy at the table for signing up to this society was in full 1916 Irish volunteer freedom fighter uniform, and a bronson style handlebar moustache.
I made a few good friends in this society, one guy especially, who was a mature student, we discussed shit you couldn't really say anywhere else.
One day when we were out we met with his friends, three scary looking motherfuckers in German bombed jackets, one of which had fucking Celtic face tattoos, pretty ok guys, really friendly we drank straight whiskey and all was good. Later my friend told me "Those guys are RA' lads." Which was kinda fucked up.
Then finally one night when me and him were kinda drunk watching movies, he turned to me and straight said to me "The RA' could use a patriot like you."
"S-sure w-whatever you say"
Fucking cut my losses and never showed my face near him again.
>>69402524
Obviously he is mr Bfuzzfeed

It is like you get a block of marble trying to make a modern suclpture. You got the marble and the chisel and now you make the art.
>>69402484
Here I've seen things like "Ciudadan@s" (Citizens) to appeal for both genders. Fortunately, is just some commie/twitter thing and I haven't heard of it as a serious language change. Inb4 It's the beginning of language cuckery, but as this guy says
>>69402148
It would be needed a complete overhaul of the language.
>>69396735
I tend to clarify by saying "Injuns, as in shoot the Injuns"
>>69401865
How is that good?
It sounds like bullshit
>>69396346
>shitty, not even world top 200 schools
who cares
>>69402148
It would require a lot of work.
Pretty much every word has a precise gender and when it's not the case the gender is still expressed by adjectives, articles and other things having to be conjugated to the gender of the word they are referring to.
goddamn liberals
>>69397533
If your accuser is a woman, jew or privileged minority, and you aren't, then clearly you are lying and guilty.
>>69396346
How do you ban the use of sarcasm? It doesn't sound realistic

>diversity toolkit
>>69403980
oh god, that's how it started here, but then the feminists said that in the @ the "a" is inside an "o", and thus was a representation of gender opression.

Mark my words, it will only be a matter of time before SJWs ban the word HUMAN for having the Man word in it.

It reinforces the idea that everything is either male or female.

Even if you think Aboriginals are inferior to whites, the British military campaigns into Aboriginal lands could be described as an invasion.
Again, wether you think that's justified or not is a different question.

>The English language doesn't have a regulation entity with a cool Coat-of-Arms
Literally begging to be cucked by libshits.
>>69406367
I really don't see how though, if they wanted to claim the land for themselves they very easily could have. It makes no sense for them to "invade" it and make no attempt to wipe them all out for so long - I think failed colonization is a better term
>>69406655

So now the word cunt is going to be used 1000% more than it already is which is already 1000% more than even brits. So basically every sentence will have the word cunt in it
>>69407166
>I know each country speaks Spanish differently.
We all speak it the same way. The differences between Mexican Spanish and PR Spanish are no different from the differences between US English and British English. Some wording variation here and there, but we all adhere to the same rules and principles.
>>69396346
Trying to ban Australians from saying cunt is like trying to ban the ocean from being wet.
