You.

Framed it as -- free speech issue which there's no policy forces of free speech -- sort of at a political correctness issue.

But I in my view on it is.

Even if that you know helps one incoming first year feel less annually on campus pretty harmless change that you -- to -- -- like a certain amount of disdain.

I don't know why the negative feeling towards just university policy the official title of -- because enough is enough I can't believe a woman would feel.

And this was back.

-- being called a freshman.

And I agree we've had a sexist country.

When my daughter was born I went through all the Dr.

So you get out of Chapel Hill go to the university North Carolina but you're not a freshman anymore what are you what -- what's the term now.

First year your first year student you're not a freshman because it's -- fresh.

Men MA and that sexes.

And someone might feel fresh -- that.

I thought it was just fresh human but yes some woman might feel -- then you have to be very careful not to offend.

Then you can't suggest that period in intimacy.

We should happen.

You can't implicitly or explicitly.

Ask someone for sex.
