How utterly stupid can things get

[Mups]

How do you feel about this I saw in the newspaper . . .


Quote:

"A woke UN agency has banned the word "Englishman"  because it is too gendered. 

"Forefathers",  "Man's Best Friend" and even "Midwife"  have also been ruled out.

Staff are given a list of gender-neutral gender-neutral terms to use. 

Englishman becomes - English Person.
Midwife becomes - Birth Attendant.
Lumberjacks become - Wood Choppers
Fisherman -  Fishers
And Cavemen -  Cave Dwellers

This comes a month after British Red Cross staff were told  "People who are not women" could get pregnant.

It gets dafter by the day.

It gets dafter by the day. 

Sure does, Raven.

Hard to believe the stupidity of those that make the rules.

I wonder how long it will be before us Wo(men)  have that title taken away.. !!

Filling in a form.. asking us what gender we are.. So many choices.. Ridiculous..

I am WOMAN...  I can conceive.. I have a womb.. I can breast feed a baby..  I have menstrual periods..  
Show me a man who can do all this.. !

That may be so, but you can't write your name in the snow when you pee, and you would lose in the How high can you pee up the side of the wall competition...so there!

Might beat me at the last one these days

How skilled you species are...

[GrannyMac]

And the things they take pride in.....

Oh but we can do all that.

That might have come in handy a few years ago, as it would beat the nightclub queue for the 'Ladies'

I really don't see the point!

You women, if you really need to relieve yourselves, could just as easily squat down and let the water flow.
Marge has done this in the past (when need has arisen).

Squatting, to me, seems less obvious than pointing a pink-coloured 'willy' at a tree for all to see!

There are dangers involved in that. Not so dire as taking a dump but still not good. 

Sorry for raising the tone.

The only dangers I can see is not noticing a patch of nettles!

It all hinges on avoidance of hitting the underwear
