Cardiff Met? That's a new one to me.
They probably have to do this to make people realise it even exists.
On the word swaps. Mankind to humankind. That sums up the stupidity. Man is a contraction of human isn't it?
Man has two purposes, as the male human, and humans in aggregate.
And what's wrong with homosexual and heterosexual?
None of these words are offensive or wrong to use.
The problem is people taking offense where none is due because of arbitrary sensitivity.
Where does that stupidity end? Sausages banned for looking like a penis? Flapjack banned for having the word flap in it, and jack, a male name.
Fucking morons!
At least as a parent you know your kid will learn fuck all of use there and to avoid it for the shit hole it probably is.
