    A stag weekend involving a trip to a concentration camp? Bit of a tonal shift.

    Yeah it'd be an odd one to put on the itinerary for a stag.

    You would think. If this silly bastard was in charge of said itinerary though it's entirely possible he just thought he was going to some sort of Polish version of Beamish, or something.

    Beamish, previously named 'Pit Hill', is a village in County Durham, England, situated to the north east of Stanley. The village is contained within Hell Hole Wood
    Of all the names to get away from, lads.

    To the south is the village of No Place
    Lads! At least Pity Me stuck with it.

    My brother in law went to Auschwitz on a stag and i thought it was fucking peculiar behaviour. I mean I guess if you're there for the first time and plan to be again there's an element of, "Well, since we're here" but still.

    I've read this a couple of times now and I still don't fully understand what's going on. But:

    Like women, womxn refers to females, but it is an attempt to get away from patriarchal language.

    Dr Clara Bradbury-Rance, fellow at King's College London, said the spelling "stems from a longstanding objection to the word woman as it comes from man, and the linguistic routes of the word mean that it really does come from the word man".

    The word is also supposed to be inclusive of trans women, and some non-binary people.

    But how is it pronounced? "I've heard womxn pronounced in lots of different ways. I've heard some pronounce it 'wo-minx'," Dr Bradbury-Rance says.
    I mean, fucking hell.

    Imagine sitting around and thinking/worrying/being annoyed by something like this? Imagine that being your field of expertise. I mean, "wo-minx"? Fuck off

    I'm not sure if I'm getting old and/or out of touch, because I've always considered myself to be quite a progressive, liberal person, but all this is honestly starting to make my head hurt a bit.

    There's been 'Latinx' as a non-gender specific alternative to Latina/Latino for a while now, so it was a matter of time before someone else got in on the act.

    All this shit got tiresome a while back, but it's getting truly silly now. The generally accepted names for our species are human and mankind, I wonder when those will need changed.

    At times I hate having got on to twitter to be exposed to constant that sort of lunacy. The BBC even entertaining articles like that is nauseating.

    I genuinely think the media is overblowing this, often for people like you guys who get riled up about it. I live in the biggest liberal bubble on Earth and I know of no one who is even remotely interested in `womxn` or such banalities. The most annoying it gets is when (cis) people write their preferred pronouns on nametags, but that seems like a minuscule price to pay

    It's fuelled by what people click on. People see this stuff, get angry about it, click on the link to read more and link it to somewhere else to show other people who will be similarly annoyed. Just as you did, so they'll put more of it in peoples view and the cycle repeats. The whole mantra of 'they wouldn't print nonsense if it didn't sell' was bullshit spin in the Newspaper days. However, when you've got hard numbers on how many people read this article vs that article to the point you know how long it took them to read it or if they even got to the end of it before stopping.

    They even phrased the article as a question to get more people to click through and Betteridges Law still applies.

    "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."

    Quote Originally Posted by Andrew Marr
    If the headline asks a question, try answering 'no'. Is This the True Face of Britain's Young? (Sensible reader: No.) Have We Found the Cure for AIDS? (No; or you wouldn't have put the question mark in.) Does This Map Provide the Key for Peace? (Probably not.) A headline with a question mark at the end means, in the vast majority of cases, that the story is tendentious or over-sold. It is often a scare story, or an attempt to elevate some run-of-the-mill piece of reporting into a national controversy and, preferably, a national panic. To a busy journalist hunting for real information a question mark means 'don't bother reading this bit'
    On the actual subject, this is all relatively harmless (you are not going to get hounded in the streets for saying women, ever.) and innocent but people who don't agree with it make such a big deal about it that it looks like the worlds caving in.

    It's the whole UNIVERSITY CAMPUS PC BRIGADE cycle again and again and again.

    As someone who works on trans issues, it’s really not. What you are seeing is people who have no idea what it is to see these people be persecuted trying to look like they’re ‘doing their part’ in the easiest way possible.

    It is the media over-blowing it, but it's also the government/institutions caving into the most vocal minority of twats every single time. Universities are the obvious example. Most students probably aren't censorious freaks, but the two per cent of them that make the most noise seem to have the administrators constantly on the run. This is why that judge bollocks in America is interesting. It's the first time (or at least the biggest time) that the screeching fannies have been told to go and fuck themselves.

    First of all, imagine going to the media because this happens.

    Secondly, it's the law you cretin.

    Thirdly, your screaming brat will no doubt ruin the enjoyment of the film for others, so either get a babysitter or stay at home.

    I know it's not funny but this did raise a smile re: the trans debate.

    Prosecutor Christopher Dunn told the court: "She is allegedly a transgender female.

    "The prosecution say allegedly because there's smatterings of evidence in this case that the defendant's approach to transitioning has been less than committed.

    No. No it isn’t. It’s straight forward advice to help you avoid the type of sick cunts that unfortunately walk among us. Is ‘don’t keep your wallet in your back pocket’ Victim blaming? Fucking hell.
