Talking of Pc-ness in films and songs, we shouldn’t tinker with, or ban them. They were ‘of their time’. It wasn’t considered offensive, by most women, to be whistled at in the street years ago. We rather took it as a compliment. Likewise, I find it amusing when looking back in amazement at our acceptance of songs like ‘Wives and Lovers’ “Hey, little girl, comb your hair, fix your makeup. Soon he will open the door. Don’t think because there’s a ring on your finger you needn’t try any more!”
They have even started tinkering with Christmas Carols. I was shocked to see “Born that we (not man) no more may die” on a carol sheet.
Changing our past, in any way, is a bad idea.
