The City Council in Berkeley, Calif., votes to remove gender-specific words from its municipal code.
The City Council in Berkeley, Calif., voted this week to ban gender-specific words in the liberal city’s municipal code, clearing the way for the changes to become official.
When introduced, the authors of the new ordinance wrote that they were putting the measure forth so as to “promote equality.” The measure has been placed on the city’s consent calendar, which means it is expected to be approved without further debate. Berkeley would then ban printed references in its municipal code to “policemen” and “craftsmen,” substituting the words “police officer” and “craftspeople” instead.
