Pregnant women are not to be called this anymore

#1 Post by Happy SLF » Fri Oct 02, 2015 8:27 am

They are to be called “pregnant people” and “birthing individuals” instead. 8-}

A good example of political correctness gone barmy and offensive to the majority of people of both sexes to boot. Why do these people pander to the let's face it unnatural minorities. :-o

As soon as I seen where this cr@p originated from, I thought "No surprise - another product of Fruit-Loops Inc."

Why do the vast majority of sensible people on t'other side of the pond tolerate this rubbish?

Seriously, Political Correctness needs investigating medically as a psychological illness. Only when we understand it can we hope to cure it. Shouldn't think applications to study it get any grant money though....

Essentially, PC is the Queen Bee complex isn't it?
You may only speak when I say, in a manner I approve of, and your speech must acknowledge my superiority.

The longer I live the more I realise three score years and ten is about right - after that you would go mad watching how the world changes....

There again - put this together with yesterday's stuff on the Beeb about womb transplants and maybe this:

Life of Brian

was not satire after all - just ahead of it's time?

I read it, too, and thought that has to be the absolutely craziest thing one would do.
But then, on second thoughts... :(

I totally and utterly ignore PC sh!t in all its forms. I won't have a bar of it. It's nothing but a basic tactic of the Bolsheviks used in 1913 to stifle dissent, and then resurrected by the long-haired unwashed dope-smoking Western socialist revolutionaries of the 1970s (and their butt-ugly vocal Government House lawn-pissing butch lezzo component) using the Fabian technique to accomplish their social engineering agenda.

In Oz it was fully encouraged at the Federal level by the Whitless socialist government (1972-75) and therefore exacerbated, which is why it was so successful esp in the public school system. That's why the chickens Downunda well and truly came home to the modern day PC roost.

Any ladies here become preggers of late? :p

Anybody who has been with a woman while she is actually giving birth and tried to make some emollient comment to her only to be told by her in no uncertain terms "to go @#&%$ yourself you bastard, I am never @*&%$ing ever letting you touch me again" will know full well that PC has nothing to do with pregnancy or childbirth...

Caco surprised that you didn't post a clip from Only Fools and Horses where Rachel is giving birth to Damien! :D
