Only a matter of time before it’s Stawberry Blonde Person.

Surely gingerbread men are offensive to ginger people?

I'm ginger, I'm not offended. Work away gentle people.

Hope it snows this winter so I can build a snowperson.

We can't call them men and we can't call them ginger. So, they are just bread?

Why not a woperson too ? It's surprising woman has escaped so far !

I wasn't offended last week. Why certain individuals suddenly take issue with something so innocuous is beyond pitiful.

Next queen cakes will be offensive...Better change them to homosexual cakes, to avoid offence

Fishermen will be the next word causing hurt.

The policing of trivial language is beyond silly.

Its all well and good for government to be at this nonsense, but the private sector cannot afford it...get woke go broke!

Mebuntu · 15-12-2018 12:32AM

It will never end because companies/organisations etc are terrified of "offending" anyone and don't have the guts or the common sense to tell these idiot women to just bog off.

That old adage about the lunatics taking over the asylum used to be just that, an adage. Now, it has become the reality.

Fairy cakes were renamed as the americanised cup cakes because they were felt to be offensive.

You ask about when PC nonsense will end - well this gender fluidity bollox I think will take a massive step back in 10/15 years when there is plenty of litigation cases from young adults suing parents/doctors for putting them on hormonal treatment when they were 5-10 years of age.

In fairness they were never men. They had no man bits. No female bits either. Are they gender fluid? Come to think of it, they have to be the least offensive thing on the planet.

Heard recently on radio, think it was ryan tubridy, that Woman has been changed by some shower of nutters as its offensive. Turbridy while trying to explain pronounced wymexen as best he could. LMAO

Earlier this year,when we had the snow.

Went for a walk, saw a Ginger Girl on a Sledge.

She said, "Can you pull me?"

I said, "Probably, but I'd have to be very, very drunk".

Well it was womxn a few weeks ago and now this, there will be something else in a few weeks no doubt.
