I can tell you right now, I would never have made it through college if thought and speech were policed the way they are today. I just would not have. I'm not even talking about the obvious stuff like racial slurs, anti-semitism, etc., the stuff that everyone knows is wrong. I honestly cannot imagine what it is like having to watch what you say all the time lest you become a social pariah for an instance of wrongthink. You could say something in class, and by the time you get back to your dorm, all your friends would turn on you b/c it'd be shotgunned all over social media.

Imagine nowadays studying at biology/anatomy college - it should be a literal nightmare to anyone with critical thinking and logic.

My NPB professor 20 years ago told us how a student complained of sexism when he said, "the vagina receives the penis" during one of his reproduction lectures because it takes away the agency of the female organ. He told us this to explain why he was going to then say, "the vagina POUNCES upon the penis."

He was an old grouchy dude who probably had a lot of sexist commentary and views in his personal life, and he's probably passed now. But sometimes I wonder what would have happened in that lecture hall had it been today.

Something like "external intromittent organ comes in close contact with internal reproductive organ" should be inclusive enough, but I am not sure, I don't know this new inclusive language much.
