If she had nipples she would come with pasties, hmm, you know sequin cover the nipples circles
 

Yes, but she is not Barbie, she is "Midge was sold "pregnant" with Nikki, who was a tiny baby inside Midge's magnetic removable womb. ... This led to some controversy with some consumers saying that the doll was inappropriate for children, or that it promoted teen pregnancy."

So, no marriage for Midge? Just a baby momma? What the...................it was pulled from shelves.
 
Some of you here say PC Madness, or PC gone mad, if
you want some examples of extreme PC Madness, get
over here, Buildings over 100 or more years old are having
their name changed because the donor wasn't PC, statues
of somebody out of favour, again not PC, are being removed,
and many professors who have upset the little darlings at the
universities are losing their jobs!

All because some "snowflake" feels insulted/hurt by something
that was said and they heard it, funny that they don't remember
the lesson, only the slight.

Mike.

Since I used to sell them I know what they are. Can I interest you in some crotchless panties?

I wasnā€™t sure I used the right word cause I thought my spelling might be the plural for pastry. As far as crotchless panties, hmm, I honestly can not understand why, hmm, you got any adult diapers? Probably more fitting for me. šŸ˜‚

Well, they're going to be surprised as hell when they find out the doctor doesn't just lift a magnetic lid on their tummies and lift the baby out......
 
For the holidays, I try to use a respectful salutation if I see a reason.

If someone identifies as a different gender, Iā€™ll do my best to address them as the gender or name they prefer. Itā€™s not always easy to remember. Iā€™ll keep on trying.

Sometimes it's hard to tell. We had a patient that was in the process of "changing" but we were not made privy of that info until after I had insulted him by calling him Sir.
 
Ah no. Firstly these are simple terms that have been used for how long. Not that things can and should change at times.

But also how am I now responsible to always know how someone wants to be addressed and if sexuality is fluid, I'm supposed to know how to address someone on any given day.

Recently they apparently put a halt to the hot button issue of changing many school names in San Francisco. Lincoln, Washington etc were all to be out. I think it's put on hold. However this is what gets me. If they change the names many will tell themselves how woke and cool they are because they supported the name change. Got news for them. There will still be abused children going to that school and what are they going to do about that? More jerkery.

Let's not let others tell us how to address people. We went through our whole lives pretty well with out someone telling us what to say and what not to say. We have brains and tact.

It's just a media "thing", for the love of God. Nothing to get excited about.

My Black friends don't care if I say "Black" instead of "African American" for cryin' out f-n loud.

Banning "Merry Christmas"? Nah, it's a media thing, doesn't apply in Real Life.

...way too much media, particularly social media...smh
 
Iā€™m all for eliminating pejorative words that insult a personā€™s race,religion, nationality, sexual orientation etc. Recently a local leader of one of what some call ā€œ First Nationsā€ was asked what was preferred and she answered ā€œTribal Peopleā€.
Scuse my ignorance, but I donā€™t even know what ā€œsnowflakeā€ means as it is currently tossed around.
I remember as naive children after WWII, we were taught to work toward unity and international friendship & understanding. I feel as though people are further apart than ever, so far from our innocent international ā€œpenpalā€ days.

It can be used against people however. In the work force. School setting. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of beratement because I used a wrong word. One that is normal and never meant to be insulting such as miss-gendering someone. I've been on the receiving end of enough.

There is potential here for more.
 
@Remy, "There is a potential here for more"
What's the quote? "Truer words were never spoken".?
Oh, This is just the beginning! We can kiss free speech and free expression goodbye!
