Here's that problem you were asking for. Hope you love it!
I don't get it?
Ah yeah see you knew what they meant. What’s the issue?
The overly PC language that is just annoying most people just so you a can pretend to include people when in reality you don't.
Just talk plain English. It doesn't insult or exclude anybody to say "men" or "women"
What’s not plain English about “people with a penis”? It seems excessively clear and to the point.
Is the word “people” too difficult for you?
Or you can stop playing dumb, of course.
Nobody talks like this but a very small and very select little group of people that can't stop congratulating eachother for being so politically correct.
Who’s playing dumb?
You knew what the speaker meant and challenged their use of language.
I’m asking what’s unclear about the term “people with a penis” and you’re getting riled up.
Are you ok?
It seems like your entire gripe here is “those aren’t the words I would use and I’m not ok with that”
I'm unsure what is hard to understand. The problem is people talking like they're mentally retarded just to avoid stepping on the toes of special snowflakes. There. Clear? I am getting tired of people falling over themselves to avoid a tiny group going "eeeekk!!!" for no reason.
You can just say "men". That IS the right word, you don't insult anyone.
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
The problem is you.
I'm not the one requiring special treatment
You’re the one getting flustered and demanding everyone else use the words that make you comfortable, rather than the words they prefer.
What do you think “special treatment” means exactly?
Special treatment is when people don't do what he wants, and just being normal is when everyone bends to his will.
Kinda seems like you are, though. Everyone is fine with the way things are being phrased here and you are just triggered as fuck and constantly bitching. You're making everything worse for everyone because you need things to be your way regardless of how everyone else feels. Like an 8 year old. This behavior is, I will guarantee, the source of ssssooooo many problems in your life.
Are you against free speech or smth?
No.
I'm against this though because people talking like this usually push others to do the same, saying they're oppressive if they don't. This has led to situations like in government buildings where announcements normally start with "ladies and gentlemen, please...." now no longer can do that "because that is oppressive, abusive and exclusive". Never mind that comedy has but completed disappeared because people have gotten scared to make a joke. Can't risk someone feeling insulted anymore!
Now I'm starting to see more and more "people with penises" and it's tiring.
Saying the word "man" or "woman" is fine. Even for those in the trans community because they actually wanted to be the other sex, right? Plus, we all know what is meant, nobody is trying to exclude anyone, so how about we stop trying to be so politically correct?
The rant is against people who feel slighted when they see normal language being used. If that insults you, too bad.
Ah yeah so if you’re for restricting speech, you’re against free speech. That’s just how that works. You don’t get to play language police and also pretend you’re pro-free speech.
Thanks for trying to dance around that though.
