    Don't know about that. The three women on liveline yesterday arguing about wether it was insulting to transsexuals and nonbinary to use the term women seemed pretty angry about a stupid thing.

    He's making fun of a few posters on here who to seem to be obsessed with angry men.

    He/she is outraged by people being outraged, so much that he/she started a thread about it.

    Nah its definitely more the other way around around here anyway - with the sjw's and wokkers getting absolutely outraged with just about everyone and anything they disagree with. But most especially where others don't hold the same views and opinions as them.

    On here, the worst are the perpetually outraged bores who go on and fucking on about something 'woke' that happened in some place that has absolutely no bearing on their own empty little lives. All men.

    I believe it is because the younger generation are not taught how to deal with real world problems. Like we were taught in the 70's,80's,etc.Parents today are so absorbed in social media,etc.they only force their ideas and beliefs on their children. It is only going to get more extreme until at some point common sense decides to kick in.IMO

    Ah there's a fair few women too I'd wager. Stick around a bit longer and i reckon you'll meet most of the permanently perpetually outraged. Most of them anyway.

    I haven't encountered many on here. Probably too busy complaining on local Facebook groups or asking to see someone's manager.

    Reckon many posters don't necessarily declare it one way or the other. Sure we can presume but I know of more than a few who post regularly. Not too sure how many 'karens' or 'justins' there are lol.I somehow reckon boards isn't quite the right place for them or their anthisises....

    Actually I'm waiting for his songs to come out in case he stole some of my lyrics, I wrote in another thread, if he don't pay ill sue his geriatric arse for a fortune. I'm going to be mint for a bit.
    Newspapers don't carry news they carry crap. I have no wish to know about has beens or their lives thats all the papers seem to print. She's having a baby, he's going on holidays, the trendiest couple in town, I mean who reads and cares about that sh!t anyway.
    Oh and for the record I dare me everyday. Because basically i'm great.

    Did you hear Ian Brown's new song, it's quite good.

    At the end he has the voice of a psychopath...

    A simple example appeared on Liveline this week.

    A number of letters were issued to sufferers of cervical cancer.

    Apparently, there are people out there that are offended by the use of the word "woman" or "women" when addressing cervical cancer patients, they would rather that they were addressed as "people with cervixes".

    I'll let you try and figure out the people in question.

    Another few examples

    Penny Lane, the name of the street in the beatles song is now thought to be racist by some.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-merseyside-52992669

    A well know youtuber was chastised by youtube for using language that was thought to be racially offensive

    This one is a couple of. years old. Apparently city planners in Australia are sexist.
