WASHINGTON– In an ongoing effort to avoid discrimination by either including or excluding everyone, the United States Postal Service has renamed mailboxes across the country to gender-neutral<\/em> boxes after numerous gender rights groups protested the use of the word mail<\/em>\u00a0to describe the boxes where mail is dropped off.<\/p>\n

According to a statement put out by newly formed USPS, use of the word mail<\/em>\u00a0has become antiquated and to keep up with the modernization of society, an alteration had to be made to gender-specific names in an effort to promote equality among the sexes.<\/p>\n

“If you can’t include everyone then we shouldn’t include anyone<\/em>,” said USPS spokesman Newman. “The elimination of such words as mail<\/em> will promote the equality that has been absent from inanimate objects such as gender-neutral boxes formally known as mailboxes.”<\/p>\n

Numerous gender rights groups flooded the front steps of Washington’s USPS headquarters holding up anti-mailbox signs and snipping off fake paper testicles that were glued to the bottoms of mailboxes to show their disapproval of the archaic name.<\/p>\n

“The world has spoken,” boasted 49 year old unmarried Bertha Swanson to reporters with a pair of scissors in one hand and paper testicles in the other. “No longer will other genders be left out while hyper-testosterone mails<\/em> get all the rights. Eventually we’re gonna have all\u00a0gender-specific names removed from books, buildings, cars, animals, you name it. This small victory will be the impetus for future equality.”<\/p>\n

The word mail<\/em> comes from the English word for male<\/em>, which first appeared in the 17th century after a group of men decided that women were too inferior to be used as the title for the world-famous box.<\/p>\n

Starting immediately, the new gender-neutral boxes will also be known as gender-fluid boxes.<\/p>\n

“Today the mail<\/em> had his package removed,” Swanson said with glee as she crushed the paper scrotum within her large, hairy fist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
