Bill O’Sullivan, the senior editor of the Washingtonian magazine, wrote in an editorial Thursday that the “loathsome” phrase “start a family” should be scrubbed from the vocabulary because it’s offensive to single people and couples without children.
“What this euphemism means is get pregnant—or try to get pregnant, or have a baby, or adopt,” O’Sullivan wrote in the column. “Start a family devalues any couple who doesn’t happen to have kids, for whatever reason.”

The phrase also hurts single people, O’Sullivan wrote.
In addition, he claimed the phrase originated from “heterosexist” ideology, but noted that it has since been adopted by the “everyday lexicon of LGBT people.” However, O’Sullivan still asserts he hears it more often from straight people.
“For the sake of all the ways to be in the world, it’s time to put an end to start a family,” he insisted.
In the final lines of the column, O’Sullivan also wrote about his issue with the word “female,” which he instructed people to avoid saying. He takes issue with the word because, as a reader told him, it “sounds like biology class” and “has overtones of criminality.”
“I admit I hadn’t thought about the criminal connotation. The dehumanizing aspect is reason enough to avoid it,” the Washingtonian editor wrote.
O’Sullivan added in a final push against the “start a family” phrase that people should “let your language reflect, and be sensitive to, the world we live in.”

Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro held a lecture at California State University, Los Angeles, in February. One week ago, university President William Covino hosted a “healing space” meeting to brainstorm ways CSULA can block speakers like Shapiro from visiting the school in the future.
In the newly-released video obtained by the Young America’s Foundation, Covino can be seen emphatically saying he would “never” invite Shapiro to speak on campus, adding that it was students who invited the conservative personality and funded the event.
“I would have never invited anybody like Ben Shapiro,” the president said, later suggesting the university put in place a set of “criteria” that potential speakers must meet in order to be hosted at CSULA.
When asked by a student how he plans to block events like Shapiro’s from happening again, Covino didn’t offer a clear answer, only telling the student he believes — “very tragically and unfortunately” — the issue of hosting a conservative talker will arise again.
During the same session, professor Melinda Abdullah, chair of the college’s Pan-African Studies department, told Covino that she found Shapiro to be an advocate of “anti-blackness,” even calling him a “neo-Nazi,” which she said is “ironic” because she knows he’s Jewish.
“I get he’s Jewish, so that’s ironic that I’m calling him a neo-Nazi,” she said, “but that’s basically what he is. A neo-KKK member — let’s call him that.”
Abdullah went on to say she is hearing from students who feel “traumatized” and “brutalized, physically, emotionally and mentally” by Shapiro’s months-old lecture, which is ironic because during Shapiro’s talk, many protesters rallying against his him reportedly became violent.
“It seemed more like brutality when students were being assaulted and hustled into my lecture two at a time through back entrances, when I required a phalanx of cops just to get on and off campus, and when the students were trapped in a room for fear of violence just for wanting to hear me speak,” Shapiro told TheBlaze.
But the protests against him aren’t quelling his willingness to go back to the college.
Shapiro said “of course” he would be willing to go back CSULA, or any campus, adding that “the neo-Nazis who inhabit the alt-right will be shocked to learn I’m one of them.”
“The video just demonstrates that the left will slander conservatives without evidence, then use that slander as the basis for censorship,” he said. “I pay these people with my tax dollars.”
Interestingly, though the university leadership apparently wants to keep people like Shapiro out of the school’s lecture circuit, they just hosted Angela Davis, a convicted criminal and 1960s Communist Party USA leader.

Clinton Reacts to Potential Sanders-Trump Debate — Here’s What She Said
in Topics
Posted
Hillary Clinton responded to talk of a debate between Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders Thursday, saying on CNN that she did not take it seriously.
“Oh Wolf, this doesn’t sound like a serious discussion,” the Democratic front-runner told host Wolf Blitzer when asked.
“And what’s your reaction to a possible debate between Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump?” Blitzer pressed.
“I just said, I don’t think it’s serious,” she answered. “I don’t think it’s going to happen.”
Trump perviously said he would debate the Vermont senator after Clinton declined a Fox News debate invite. When Sanders accepted Trump’s challenge, the real estate mogul said he was kidding. Trump later said he would debate Sanders if $10 million could be raised for charity.
