nah see now here's the thing right before i posted i also read the syllabuses just to see how far reacher mc reachyson was reaching with this shit

so here's the bit in question from the first syllabus since i CANT Be FUCked to go through the others

Gross generalizations, stereotypes, and derogatory /oppressive language are not acceptable. Use of racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, classist, or generally offensive language in class or submission of such mate rial will not be tolerated. (This include s “The Man,” “Colored People,” “Illegals/Illegal Aliens,” “Tranny” and so on or referring to women/men as females or males) If I see it or hear it, I will correct it in class since it can be a learning moment for many students. Repeated use of oppressive and hateful language will be handled accordingly including but not limited to removal from the class without attendance or participation points, failure of the assignment, and in extreme cases failure for the semester.

so straight off the bat the words 'male' and 'female' aren't banned, just using the words 'males' and 'females', probably because that's textbook PUA ways of referring to people without really acknowledging that they're actual people. if this were a biology class or something that'd probably be cool because you'd be talking about meat machines or something but in a class called "Women and Popular Culture" it's generally pretty backwards to try to use language that just abstracts the fact ur talking bout people.

next bit that's useful to talk about is that if you use the language like that you don't magically lose all your marks

If I see it or hear it, I will correct it in class since it can be a learning moment for many students.

that seems reasonable enough right? it's a sociology class (i assume who cares about this soft shit) so within sociology there are terms to refer to groups, and if you keep using incorrect terms you're going to get penalised

idk doesnt seem that unresonable to me

edit: o and if u want to talk about he illegal aliencs thing it's explained in one of the other syllabuses as

Not “illegal alien” or “illegals” but “undocumented” migrants/immigrants/persons. Note that the Associated Press (AP) has determined not to use it:The Stylebook no longer sanctions the term “illegal immigrant” or the use of “illegal” to describe a person. Instead, it tells users that “illegal” should describe only an action, such as living in or mmigrating to a country illegally. ’
