You make great points. I guess I see the people that get worked up about making the changes not contributing much if they weren’t spending their time on coming up with the changes and those that get worked up by being offended by the changes in the same light. All in all, is productiveness or society harmed by the change? There are plenty of things to be passionate about. For me, this isn’t one of them- one way or the other.

Yet here you are, claiming people are worked up, offended, outraged. Seems like strange behavior for someone who doesn’t care. You could have made jokes about it, which is all this thread was until you fell on it like a wet blanket.
The Washington Post had an article on this subject a few days ago.
I said it was hilarious. I enjoy things that are funny.
Interestingly, in 2015, the FAA recommended Helicopter Air Ambulance companies to not use the word “mission” when referring to flight operations:
“(2) Management should discourage the use of the term “mission” to describe flight assignments in operator manuals, training, and risk analysis programs. The emphasis should be on providing air transportation rather than completing a “mission.” The mission concept has been derived from military tactical or combat aviation policies that factor in “acceptable losses,” and may affect the normal commercial civil air transportation go/no-go decision making process.”

Does it improve pilot’s or ATC’s ability to safely navigate or administer the NAS? If the answer is no, then it was a waste of time and resources.
Post #16 above. How about, can someone articulate a legitimate upside?
Some women find it degrading. Removing that as a barrier to workplace inclusivity, even it it seems silly to you, makes for a better workplace experience for a greater number of people.
I must’ve missed the part where the definition of the word “airman” says “has to be a dude”.
Maybe if you promote the idea of calling female 1310s “Naval Aviatrixes” instead of “Naval Aviators” you could still have a shot at flag. Let me know if you use it, because otherwise it’s going in my next Fitrep.

You actually think this?
I encourage you to read about the recent NASA decision to officially change the phrase “manned space flight” to “crewed space flight” to hear what some of the women astronauts had to say about it.

I’m happy the crewed space missions will feel comfortable exploring space for mankind
Next logical step: cancel Neil Armstrong on account of his misogynistic words on the lunar surface (and almost every other early astronaut for all of the horrible things they did both on and off duty). Talk about fraud, waste, and abuse.
How could today’s astronauts feel comfortable being called the same name as them? Truly sickening. See my below post for my contribution to righting this terrible historical wrong.
