Politics Of Gender

EDM number 473 in 1994-95, proposed by John Butcher on 25/01/1995.

That this House agrees with the Archdeacon of York that 'Poltical correctness is verbal fascism and when it is applied to matters religious it is as much destructive of the values and ideas of the faith as it is of the sensitivities of the believer'; regrets that feminists have never understood that 'Man' comes directly from the Latin 'manus', meaning hand, indicating that man is the only species that can manipulate or manufacture, and that Man means in effect an animal that can use its hands and has nothing whatsoever to do with the contemporary and contrived politics of gender.

This motion has been signed by a total of 2 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
