So, how exactly do you guys want to use government to force these private businesses to comply with your personal ideals of how things should be named?

"I would like a gingerbread woman, please"
We are gender neutral here.

Can someone just change the name of a cookie?



That's really where you are drawing a line?



I mean, really...they're COOKIES.

When kids were young, we used to make uneatable gingerbread men ornaments and hung them on the tree with ribbon.

I made enough extra dough to make a few sexually explicit gingerbread men and women for family members. They still talk about it.

You guys are upset because a government office coffee shop changed the sign on a gingerbread cookie.

so many weak minded people in the world today. At least most of them are living near the bottom of the socio-economic spectrum and that makes me happy.

Say this happened in the USA. There are uber-liberal people who are not SJWs and uber-liberal people who are. I feel sorry for the former group that their latter counterparts continue this idiocy.

Apparently CD has banned the word '***'.


No longer can you go ice fishing with a ***


The Irish no longer can dance a ***


And of course the famous 1940 *** that hitler danced in Paris is now said to be a falsehood. Just in time!


Expect the latest iteration of banned words to include;


***saw
***saw puzzle
woodworking tools like the copyrighted "kreg ***'
a bitzenberg fletching ***


How to co-opt random words in the dictionary and prove they are offensive to an some activist or PhD, somewhere.


Say the wrong pronoun and lose your job, it has happened!


Portals of social justice, formerly called schools and the media are the SJ enforcers.

Everyday something else makes me shake my head at the direction we are heading in.Yet another "stop the world i want to get off" moment.
The Scots don't like you messing with their traditions, indeed they were furious when Irn Bru changed it's recipe.

Well at least Tunnocks Tea Cakes and Caramel Wafe, are gender nuetral.

The PC nonsense is just that and most people other than SJW's are still just going to call them gingerbread men.

Yes. Conservatives are offended over a cookie. It really does not take much to push them over the edge.
