As Twitchy recently reported, CNN's Anderson Cooper was called out for misgendering a member of the audience at a Bernie Sanders town hall. "They/them pronouns actually. Thank you," scolded the woman, who was obviously a woman. It was great to see the Left get a taste of their own policies.
Now we have another example of the media misgendering — this time the whole human race. A CBS News reporter was interviewing former astronaut Mae C. Jemison and asking what Gayle King and the other members of the all-female space flight should expect. What he didn't expect was being corrected for saying "mankind."
The post continues:
Jemison: "It benefits humankind, and I’m going to keep correcting the mankind and the man-made, and the man-mission because this is exactly what this mission is about, is expanding the perspective of who does space."
Exhibit A of Americans' exhaustion on this subject: the 2024 presidential election.
The "mission" wasn't about anything. They floated around for about three minutes and then returned to Earth.
What's wrong with man-made if something was made by a man?
We're all well-aware that there are female astronauts who are more than just space tourists. And their research has benefitted mankind.
It got Katy Perry off of the planet for a few minutes. That's a benefit.
Do what on their own?
Jemison is free to pursue her new mission of removing "man" from commonly used phrases that offend no one.
