In our recently submitted grants we had to change “traumatic brain injury” to “concussive brain injury” and “male and female mice” to “male and non-male mice” because traumatic and female are now verboten words that can get our grants killed. It’s insanity.

Where is all the outrage for word switching here?

The master/main folks are sure silent.

Or the male/female folks vs plug and socket?

I don't think anybody was against master/slave over primary/secondary.
