Marines May Ban Use of ‘Sir’ and ‘Ma’am’ to Avoid ‘Misgendering’ Superiors
By Royal A. Brown III
This absurdness is being reported in many reliable blogs on internet so NOT a HOAX.
If this policy is put into effect so goes good order and discipline which has already been diminished with the many Obama 1,2,3 social engineering policies impacting our military.
This woke recommendation was made in a new $2 million report commissioned by the Corps from the University of Pittsburgh.
So if the United States Marine Corps can afford $2 M to waste on such a report why should they receive any budget appropriations increases in the new $830 billion Department of Defense budget, an all time record high? Same goes for all the services—no telling what else completely unrelated to combat readiness and ability to fight and win against our enemies is in this new budget.
Marines told to stop using ‘sir,’ ‘ma’am’ to avoid ‘misgendering’ superiors
By Lee Brown
No more “Yes, sir!”
The US Marines may ban recruits from respectfully addressing senior members as “sir” or “ma’am” to avoid “misgendering” and offending them.
The woke recommendation was made in a new $2 million report commissioned by the Corps from the University of Pittsburgh.
The exhaustive, 738-page study that the Marines first commissioned in 2020 said traditional ways of addressing superiors were holding back gender integration.
“Employing gender-neutral identifiers eliminates the possibility of misgendering drill instructors, which can unintentionally offend or cause discord,” the study said.
“By teaching recruits to use gender-neutral identifiers for their drill instructors, Services underscore the importance of respecting authoritative figures regardless of gender.”
The two-year study by the University of Pittsburgh’s Warrior Human Performance Research Center also said that “the Army, Navy, and Coast Guard effectively de-emphasize gender in an integrated environment.”
“Instead of saying ‘ma’am’ or ‘sir,’ recruits in these Services refer to their drill instructors using their ranks or roles followed by their last names,” it said.
