The problem is people using clear language to describe something, and you preferring different language? Is that a correct assessment of your anger?

Give it a few years and we won't be able to use the word penis, because now that is deemed toxic. The proble is that there will always be somebody who feels insulted and there will for some reason awalys be a group of people that jump on the wagon and will try to go out of their way to please people like that.

So I say, "people will penises" is abusive! I am special and I want that not we say "people with banana shaped organs on their bodies", that is the only acceptable way of identifying these individuals
