And another one

Yes, there's some sensitive souls out there! There are some truly serious issues around sexism that have been/need to dealt with, but other things, well honestly!

"need to be"

Am I the only one who thinks that all this is getting rather insidious now?

Greyduster

' getting rather insidious"?

I think we have ' got' there.

I agree POGS, the whole issue of PC has really got out of hand with just about everything. I'm glad I'm at the wrong end of it as I won't change my own personal views on society as it is now.

I saw a meme on Facebook today announcing that Manchester is to be renamed Personchester.

That's just it SueDonim,it makes a laughing stock out of those who come up with these ridiculous " rulings. I remember the Two Ronnies in one of their sketches mentioning manholes becoming personholes. I'm blowed if I'll ever conform to this " way of life ".

Things are becoming ridiculous, aren't they? My 4yr old GD sings "Baa baa purple sheep" at pre-school.....madness.

Oh no Lynne59 ! My GGC are going to know different, the right and proper way and not brainwashed into what a small minority dictates.

Are they going to rewrite the Bible too?

As a 'nit picker' how large is extra large?

Extra to what?

I think they will have to rewrite the dictionary too starbird - think of all those words beginning with man! But I'm sure they will manage - sorry, personage!

Compared to the useless little ones marketed at " ladies" as we only get little sniffles and weep and dab at our eyes & noses delicately . Or just to take of our make up!

As many will know from other threads I am not ashamed to be called "politically correct" . But just to be clear in 40 yrs of teaching I have never changed the words to Baa Baa Black Sheep..even when working for Lambeth LA equalities team! Urban myths & rt wing propaganda

When I trained as a social worker a fellow student was politely told that we shouldn't use the expression "nit picking" because it originated from slavery and people being transported in the bottom of ships and being riddled with nits! Who knew eh? whatever we say will probably offend someone these days!

I’m off to buy Man size tissues before they disappear from the shelves, the whole thing is absolutely ridiculous!

I have often wondered why men need bigger tissues than us women! The mind boggles, but then I have a dirty mind!!

Following on from Personchester and personholes, does human become huperson for these PC idiots?

I have never changed the words to Baa Baa Black sheep
Pecs; Is that old nursery rhyme "Taffy was a Welshman etc. still OK

What worries me is that we might not get "Women" or "Men" sections in clothes shops. What will they replace it with?

Needlessly expensive/boring but cheap......perhaps?

On Quora, I was perusing answers to 'what's the most un-PC view you hold?' and thinking 'I agree with about 99% of this!"

starbird that has already happened to some extent. There is a new NIV version of the Bible, the Inclusive Language Edition, that has had some gender neutral words inserted. Apparently Jesus said to his disciples "I will make you fishers of men and women"
