I was hoping for more outrage than that...disappointing.

I always enjoy how whenever a part of the left coalition makes a stand or statement that inevitably another part will find it "problematic" and take them to task.

I know...it's both amusing and frustrating.  And, in this case, fucking stupid.

I read an article that in the UK, the NHS has sent out guidance to quit using the term "expectant mother" because it might offend someone who is pregnant and doesn't identify as a female.  

[freedom78]

If a baby comes out of your body or you lay some fucking eggs, you are its mother.  What should we call them then?  Asexual womb bearers? 

 

I am so tired of worrying about offending everyone.  I personally haven't taken offense to something since 1982.  Things piss me off, sure, but if someone says something ignorant I don't get all up in arms about it.  Not that calling a mother a mother is ignorant.

It's particularly interesting because there's a woman transitioning to be a man who is pregnant and has ceased her meds to not harm the baby. But she wants to be called a father

[freedom78]

That's confusing.

A photo of a man “humping” a Wall Street statue symbolising female empowerment has gone viral on Facebook, just two days after the artwork was installed to mark International Women’s Day.

 

The photo shows a man in a suit posing behind the “Fearless Girl” sculpture which has been placed facing down the iconic charging bull statue in the heart of New York’s financial district.

 

Alexis Kaloyanides, an architectural designer, posted the picture to Facebook, and it has since been shared more than 14,000 times.

Almost as if out of central casting, some Wall Street finance broseph appeared and started humping the statue while his gross date rape-y friends laughed and cheered him on. He pretended to have sex with the image of a little girl. Douchebags like this are why we need feminism.

Nothing says "I'm tough and independent" like losing your shit because some idiot "disrespected" a statue. I remember a couple years ago when a photo of kids climbing on the Korean War memorial made the Facebook round. No one gave a shit then either.

[freedom78]

There's nothing date rapey about humping a statue.  If you post your art in public, you must be open to the public's reaction...including humping, I suppose.

 I knew you'd say something like this. Just knew it...

 

I don't think anybody is "losing their shit" but simply pointing out the irony in this. Women are disrespected in our society, often sexually. So here comes some doosher who dry humps a statue of a little girl placed for international women's' day. IMO that only highlights their point. It's the kind of bullshit women have to deal with all the time.

young men act like douchbags. that what they do.

Little girls are air humped all the time? Or women are air humped all the time? I'm still trying to figure out how some dipshit being a dipshit against a political statue (cause little girls stare down rampaging male bovine all the time and live to talk about it) is somehow a slight against women. I know I stare down rhinos, tigers and polar bears all the time and my man power just scares them off.

I'm sure you've laid awake at night trying to figure it all out...
