Join Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Sami Winc for the news of the week: Deported Salvadoran MS-13 member Garcia, Shapiro’s home set ablaze, Lorenz on Mangioni’s “moral goodness”, Letitia James investigated, Biden’s speech, Gretchen Whitmer hides her face, pro-Hamas protesters, and Bezos sends a rocket into space.
That kind of complaint about words is as silly as the belief among black Americans that “Good morning” originates with slave owners, as something they said the day after whipping a slave. It’s completely asinine, but it also shows how badly our schools have failed, when we have people who can believe such BS.
When the female astronaut criticized the use of the term “mankind”, she substituted “humankind”. Right. HuMANkind. When Tyrus commented on this on “Gutfeld!”, he said that if she didn’t like “huMAN”, she could use “perSON”. Oops! Poor dears. There just doesn’t seem to be a reasonable way of expressing us without falling into the patriarchal trap.
