Man overboard! [British] Sailors told to stop using male-themed Navy terms like 'unmanned' and 'manpower' to avoid turning female recruits off sea career
2020-07-18
[Daily Mail, where Americans get their news]
  • There is an acceptance in the Royal Navy service some terms are no longer appropriate

  • But one officer called it 'a pathetic, woke distraction from keeping Britain safe'

  • The word 'seaman' was dropped by Canadian Navy due to its 'double entendre'

#6  Do you really want a female sailor who would be offended by “man overboard” ? Are you really that stupid SecNav or just that gutless? Either way, you need to go, and the morons who urged this as well.

#3  With as much metal as some of those girls are festooned with, they will sink out of sight.

I only commented because I rarely get to use the word festooned. Maybe a good fit, maybe not. Got to have fun where one can.
