No more Snowmen on CBeebies ?

This may have been posted before, and I can't find the author to attribute it to but it made me smile wryly.

"My morning.

8:00 am: I made a snowman.

8:10 am: A feminist passed by and asked me why I didn't make a snowwoman.

8:15 am: So, I made a snowwoman.

8:17 am: My feminist neighbor complained about the snowwoman's voluptuous chest, saying it objectified snowwomen everywhere.

8:20 am: The gay couple living nearby threw a hissy fit and moaned it could have been two snow men instead.

8:22 am: The transgender ma..wom...person asked why I didn't just make one snowperson with detachable parts.

8:25 am: The vegans at the end of the lane complained about the carrot nose, as veggies are food and not to decorate snow figures with.

8:28 am: I am being called a racist because the snow couple is white.

8:31 am: The Muslim gent across the road demanded the snow woman wear a burqa.

8:40 am: The police arrive, saying someone has been offended.

8:42 am: The feminist neighbor complained again that the broomstick of the snowwoman needs to be removed, because it depicted women in a domestic role.

8:43 am: The council equality officer arrived and threatened me with eviction.

8:45 am: My local TV news crew showed up, asking me if I know the difference between snowmen and snowwomen. I replied, "Snowballs." Now I’m called a sexist.

9:00 am: I'm on the morning news, being described as a suspected terrorist, racist, homophobe, and sensibility offender, bent on stirring up trouble during difficult weather.

9:10 am: I am asked if I have any accomplices. My children are taken by social services.

9:29 am: Far left protesters offended by everything are marching down the street demanding I be charged by the Anti-Everything Commissioner and then beheaded.

So, how's your morning been?"

Well, I guess snow people are made of snowflakes so maybe it's an appropriate term!

gmelon, love that. True though innit?

Yes definitely Smileless, it’s sort of funny until you realise how potentially dangerous it will/can become.
Hard won freedom of speech is actually under threat,
In the words of Dads Army, were all Doomed, Doomed I say?

Political correctness gone mad I'd say Bridgeit

Or gender fluid, until they grow up & decide for themselves Nicenanny3. ?

There isn’t anything inherently wrong with it , if it was just an additional term there wouldn’t be a problem, the problem arises when people are taken to task or prosecuted for being offensive because they have addressed someone in a manner not to that persons liking & have allegedly disrespected them thus causing distress .

How ridiculous snow person. Soon when you have a baby you won't be able to say if its a boy or girl it will be just a baby person.

I suppose language does evolve.
I can remember when 'parenting' sounded odd, but not any more. I always refer to firefighters rather than firemen to children, which is more accurate.
In a few years snow people will be fine and sound ok. Sounds a bit odd now of course.

Greenpeace introduced the term snowpeople a long time ago, at least twenty years, possibly more.

How do I know this? Because that many years ago I bought some Greenpeace xmas cards which had placard holding snow people on them. The placard said: "Snow people against global warming". I sent one to my aunt. She loved it.

If we are going to have to call them snow people, maybe we need to make the gender clear with a strategically placed carrot so as to avoid confusion!

Grr annoying autocorrect, I meant DGD

And just who takes offense at them being called snowmen? Or is this just a reaction to a non existent slight?
Thank goodness my DVD no longer watches cbeebies or cbbc.

Brilliant ,gmelon

I can't see anything wrong with it (either ilovecheese).

Some snow may want to be identify as slush.
Or gender fluid frozen water?

I can't see anything wrong with it.

Sorry Cherrytree I don't think they would be allowed to be "white" ice crystals.....!

?

Compacted small white ice crystal people ⛄

Sadly not lucky girl

This has to be a wind-up!

Will it even be Gransnet !
Surely Grandparents/elderfamilymembernet is more in keeping. More inclusive ?
