Australian airline Qantas bans its pilots and flight attendants from using words like "mum", "Pope", “husband” and “wife” because they are considered sexist, inappropriate and offensive to the LGBT community

The frontiers of politically correct this time they take flight. The Australian airline Qantas prohibits its pilots and flight attendants from using words like "mom", "Pope", “husband” and “wife” because they are considered sexist, inappropriate and offensive to the LGBT community.
The management of the Australian company has distributed a document to its employees in which it invites them not to use words such as "husband and wife" or "mum and dad" and replace them with terms such as "partner” o “parents” considered neutral and non-discriminatory language.
“We are proud to have a long tradition of promoting social inclusion among our employees and customers. We have always supported gender equality, marriages between same-sex couples and indigenous rights", says Lesley Grant, a Qantas executive. “For example, the use of the word 'chairman’ can imply that the leaders are always male", continues the manager, head of the “People” department & Culture”.
The document also invites men to avoid the phenomenon of so-called "manterruptions", i.e. men who interrupt women while they are speaking.. We do not know whether the prohibition also applies in reverse, i.e. when women prevent men from continuing a conversation.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbot immediately liquidated such a corporate choice as a joke: “Political correctness has exceeded all limits”, said the conservative politician. “If Qantas really wanted to give a good service to its customers, it could abolish its social inclusion department and thus save some money. It's crazy to think we need a corporate thought police.", Abbot concluded.
The search for “gender-neutral” language is spreading rapidly around the world. The leader of this movement is the much praised Justin Trudeau who even eliminated all the masculine words from the Canadian anthem to avoid any gender discrimination and a few weeks ago reprimanded a girl for using the term "mankind" instead of the more inclusive "peoplekind".
The London Underground he banned the classic announcement from the loudspeakers "Ladies and gentlemen" for the more generic "good morning everyone" to also respect other genders, in Malta it was decided to release gender-neutral passports where in addition to "male" or "female" you can also opt for "gender. The media is also spreading gender neutral culture; the British broadcaster BBC caused a scandal when it even used children as guinea pigs to demonstrate the gender theory.
The Vatican has firmly opposed this new phenomenon. Pope Francis declared that the “gender theory is an ideological colonization” and that the utopia of the “neutral”it removes at the same time both the human dignity of the sexually different constitution, both the personal quality of the generative transmission of life.”
The next frontier will be to establish mandatory gender-neutral public toilets. The proposal has already been put forward in Holland and England but criticism has been raised about it by some groups of women who rebelled against the idea of ​​entering the quagmire of male public toilets. How can you blame him??
