A Woke Society? **Mod Warning In Post #435**

More hysteria. Me thinks you have an agenda going on.

No. I don't have to agree with any narrative and I don't care what people think aboutme.

Nearly every single thread on boards is the usual suspects saying the same thing and trying to quite discussion. Both sides.

Discussion is amazing and has opened my mind. I for one can hold my hands up and say I am wrong. Be the fonz. Be cool.

You may have miss worded your post.

Who expresses what? You mentioned paedophile.

Is everyone associated with the Catholic Church in Ireland one? This is coming from a person who would probably burn if setting foot in a church.

I dislike generalities or pile ons.

Women are not men and men are not women. Sex wise. Yes, I can understand being trapped in biological. I feel sad that they can't completely transform.

I'll of course respect their preferred gender tittle and treat them like everyone else.

What I won't do is treat them any differently or make up science.

By which, I suppose you to mean; "nonsense".

You carry on trying to pursuade yourself I am part of some grand agenda to subvert language. It's a bit laughable really.

Real reds under the bed territory.

Seems you can't refute what I have said, so you opt for deflection instead.

You accused another poster of not having actually read the NHS article. You haven't either, or at least you don't understand it. When an organisation makes a policy, the staff are expected to follow it. For fear of losing their jobs, the staff are effectively "forced" to use nonsense language in the name of inclusivity and at the expense of everyone else who knows it's all ridiculous BS. To add language reference terms into a policy document is an infringement on the employee having to adhere to the policy if it goes against their belief, science, or common sense.

It's really simple. A pregnant person using the maternity services is a woman. A man can't be pregnant and cannot be a woman, or a birthing person. Everyone knows this. A "biological partner" or a "chest feeder" could be a man or a woman and muddies the waters. Supporting the use of these terms in official policy is subvertive to normal, scientific an common language. I'd like to think you are intelligent enough to recognise that, no matter your ideology.

Do you think it's acceptable for a company to force new language terms on their employees? Let's say the employer changed their policy and were told to call anyone with short hair a "Dolphin" an anyone with long hair was to be called a "kangaroo". The policy change was to be introduced because a minority of locals self identified as Dolphins and Kangaroos with hair styles defining their preference.

Failing to follow company policy can lead to dismissal. Would you support this policy and if not, why not?

That sounds sort of dirty 😂

Mad the terms these crazies are coming up with tbh.

Becoming?

It already happened a good few years ago.

People out looking to be offended by every little thing.

You can't be woke if you're having a nap. I'm trying to sleep my way through it.

I believe the unwoke regularly organise lynching parties.

Woke isn't anything new. Abolishing slavery, Catholic Emancipation, interracial and denominational marriage, social Welfare, gay rights, women allowed to vote and have property rights, banning child labour, abortion rights, gay marriage, all those things were considered crazy, unimaginable and pc gone mad at some stage.

By which, I presume, you meant:

"Pretty petty, unwitty riposte."

Again, mind the punctuation and spelling, if you need to relay a precise meaning.

The point I made was gay marriage was pc gone mad or woke 20 years ago, now it's considerable normal. Homosexuality was illegal 30 odd years ago. In 20 years time it will be compulsory going on anti-woke hysteria.

Abolishing child labour lefty socialist nonsense. What would you give women the vote for? Are you mad/

They tend to become normal and everyday things after society had problems accepting them in the first place. What was woke becomes normal 20 years later.

Though as @odyssey06 rightly pointed out, not all of it gets accepted.

Some people would have us change nothing. Some people think biblical times were the height of civilization. Doesn't make them right.
