    The Isle of Man is to be changed to "The Isle of Person" as it's sexist and discriminates against gender fluid non binary and/or LGBT+ people.

    It is the epitome of a patriarchal capitalistic society that maintains it's ascendancy by attempting to subjugate gender fluid non binary LGBT+ persons to an inveterate and intentionally androcratic system of order and it must be stopped.


    It's an island of misogyny in a sea of gender fluid?:eek::eek:

    I’d call for this to be cancelled, tapes destroyed, but I have a feeling NBC have already done this years ago.

    Note:
    The Ford Foundation is one of America's biggest grant givers, doling out hundreds of millions to like minded ideological self-flagellators.
    His three follow up tweets are even more cringey.

    I think your response says it all.

    The language we see around this is so steeped in academia that it's an outright joke. Confused is the right response. The militant left has taken over the social sciences in universities. This is where it's coming from. They visualise an inclusive society where you use inclusive language, however it's important to know if you are seen to be using non inclusive language you will be excluded. You will be ostracised. You will be hammered. These are radical left wing ideologues and very very dangerous people indeed.

    I think it's about time we highlighted the more wacky WOKE notions that are popping up in the media on a weekly basis nowadays, if any of them aren't at all. I'm putting this in AH in the hope it's a more lighthearted thread rather than not.

    To start off here's 3 I've come across this last week alone.

    Full Stops. Apparently full stops used in text messaging and the like are offensive to young people. Too much on the passive/aggressive side.Source.

    .

    Sky news are running a report this week that says one of the reasons black people are severely under-represented in pro swimming is because of their thick afro hair and standard swimming caps don't fit. I would have thought cutting your hair would be a solution to this problem but I suppose doing that would be discriminatory to hair.

    .

    Multi Grammy award winner Adele has been criticised for cultural appropriation, because she posted a pic of herself on Instagram sporting an African hairdo. I guess she's not into swimming. Source.

    You were doing OK until you came to the bit about black folks swimming. Are you offended because they don't cut their hair? Would you cancel Sky News? :rolleyes:

    Whenever I hear or read the term "mansplaining" it reminds me of this clip of an Australian politician's response.

    The whole mansplaining thing is, if anything, a good way to identify ****ing eejits.
    Great way to totally alienate people who are genuinely trying to help because they are men.

    “Oh I’m mansplaining? I’m sorry I didn’t realise, I’ll just mantellyoutogofùckyourself instead so. Toodles” :)

    Here's what I don't get about the term 'mansplaining'. It seems to have replaced the term 'know-it-all' when it's a man involved. Like, the term 'know-it-all' was a perfectly good (unisex) term for that person who does think they, well, know it all. But when it's a man, now it's 'mansplaining' even though he could just be one of those doses who think they know everything about everything.

    The only place I would think the term 'mansplaining' is appropriate is if a man is lecturing a woman about a female-specific issue, like say period cramps or something. But then surely a woman could be accused of womansplaining if she did the same to a man about a male-specific problem?

    Can we just get back to saying 'know-it-all', please?

    I know that know-it-all are annoying, as I'm guilty of it myself sometimes, for example now, but somehow now it's only a problem when a man does the know it all to a woman. Also, her justification is idiotic - a used word does not make it acceptable, for example we can't use the n-word because "it is a term that's used".

    Like the tweet definition of mansplaining states in point 2:
    A patriarchal act that trains women in self-doubt and self-intimidation just as it exercise men's overconfidence.






    OMG! I think I just mansplained. I'm going to go off now and have a good hard look at myself.

    There is no doubt that the term " mansplaining" is a derogatory and condescending terminology invented by extreme feminists to rip the piss out of the patriach.

    The fact that imbeciles continue to use the term speaks volumes. It is a defining tongue in cheek wth two fingers from feministas.

    At least they have shown some level of invention, it's a start.
