Re: I miss the permissive society

Taddy…just think about it for a moment……half(or roughly half) of the population are women.
If you remove all terms that relate to women, from speech, from literature etc….then you are not being inclusive.
Being inclusive means that all members in society have equality….are recognised for their unique attributes…the things that make them…well, them.

Describing women as people with ovaries…rather than women(for fear of upsetting those biological women who self identify as men….but are STILL female) is erasing women from speech….or saying people who menstruate, rather than calling them women…again to save the tender feelings of transgender men(who are biologically female) is insulting to the vast majority of women who are not transgender.

Now Taddy that may seem a verbose answer….but it explains how women….who identify as women are being cancelled for a very small minority……making us EXCLUDED,
