Convict airline Qantas advises employees not to 'manterrupt' women or use gender-specific pronouns.
[Breitbart] Australian airline Qantas has reportedly advised employees not to "manterrupt" women or use gender-specific pronouns.

According to the Evening Standard, "Qantas airline staff are said to have received an information pack as part of its ’Spirit of Inclusion’ month detailing a list of potentially offensive terms."

"Offensive terms" allegedly included gender-specific words such as "mum," "dad," "husband," and "wife," as well as words such as "love, honey, and darling," while employees were instructed to "minimise manterruptions," which was defined as when men "interrupt or speak over women."

"Language can make groups of people invisible. For example, the use of the term chairman can reinforce the idea that leaders are always men," the information pack reportedly stated.

In another section, the arrival of the British in Australia was reportedly described as an "invasion."

"Describing the arrival of the Europeans as a ’settlement’ is a view of Australian history from the perspective of England rather than Australia," the information pack declared.

The news was both mocked and criticized by users on Twitter, with one user asking, "Hey will #Qantas now have to rename the cockpit?"

Others blamed the Diversity Council of Australia, who was reportedly behind the change, while some announced their intentions to boycott the airline.
