Asking a girl to get soup for you does not make one a sexist pig!

I do find these political correctness is being taking way out of hand for political reasons to dived up groups.

Or is this just the Darwin kernel code?

Are the aqua/user interface layer also included here?

Any CONTEXT related to this source code would be greatly appropriated.
