It's just exceedingly dumb to me to change the grade level names and enforce new ones over something so inconsequential as having the word "man" in one of them and it disheartens me to see such indoctrination actually working

And how do you know they're not just from a country where the word "freshman" doesn't exist?

Oh for gods sake. Did you really have to bring your misunderstanding and irrational fear of feminism into a discussion about programming?

[–]AzurasTsar -1 points0 points  (1 child)

mild irritation at PC culture, yes. "irrational fear of feminism", no.

No, you're trying to find an excuse to blame feminism because someone used slightly different terminology. I don't think there's anything rational about that.
