Imagine where a women’s words are censored. Imagine a women’s words are censored by the American civil liberties union

And a dead women’s words

Where she can’t speak back

Bit of the Bee Gees ?
"More than a [person]

@CharlieParley No, he was fine. The word woman is only verboten when talking about issues connected to female biology.

So, the only acceptable use of the word 'woman' is when you are not referring to a woman.

Appalling.

Manderleyagain · 23/09/2021 19:06

I wonder if there is anyone left involved with ACLU who will be horrified by this? Or are they all fully signed up to the whole set of beliefs? It could open the eyes of a few who hadn't been able to see where it is going.

I'm horrified by this. Absolutely horrified.

I think maybe we should all start saying "transperson" -- after all, it goes with "transfolx" and so on. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, etc.

I suspect that isn't exactly what is desired, though -- since then the "validation" of "man" or "woman" is lost, and the "transperson" rendered ungendered, as it were.

I think if we all started withholding the gender validation by saying the gender neutral "transperson" instead, a large part of the attraction of replacing "women" with "people" and "person" would swiftly disappear. After all, the last thing anyone trans wants is not to be gendered at all, surely?

Sorry, the take was "won't someone think of the poor paedophiles, they can't help it "

TheWeeDonkey · 23/09/2021 18:46

@bigkidsdidit

The B&R paedophile episodes were terrible. Really poor analysis. And I’m a subscriber - I like them.

Anyway, derail.

Agreed,

Sorry BigKids you're right. I was just thinking two separate shows couldn't each have such bad takes. I shouldn't be surprised by anything anymore.

bigkidsdidit · 23/09/2021 18:40

Sorry - I didn’t mean that ‘detail’ to sound rude! I was talking about my own post

[quote TheWeeDonkey]@KnittingAddict was that Blocked and Reported? I enjoyed listening to them too, a bit 😕 on some of their views but always interesting until I listened to them discussing paedophiles last week and the week before and I can't listen to them after that. [/quote]
No, it was Worst Year Ever. Started as a bit of aa anti Trump podcast during the election year and is still continuing as a left leaning podcast. I've really enjoyed some of their stuff and they seem like decent people, but maybe too ready to take on "woke" ideology, without question.

I don't like the woke term, but don't know how else to describe it.

What was *Blocked and Reported's take on paedophiles?

What do the taliban and ACLU have in common ?

@Cailleach1

So Ed Davey was utterly transphobic when he said that Trans Women are Women. He should have said Trans People are People. He didn't mean to try to bring everything around to Boris Johnson, he meant to bring it around to people. Lisa Nandy needs to be corrected too. These outdated people need to be re-educated.

No, he was fine. The word woman is only verboten when talking about issues connected to female biology.

ErrolTheDragon · 23/09/2021 18:20

Oh - sorry, no I didn't realise what you meant, as The Times is also owned by Murdoch (though editorially independent) I thought that's what you meant. I forgot the NYT gets called 'the Times' by Americans.

I get some emailed selections from the NYT and I seem to remember reading a piece very critical of the shoddy way the Texas bill was pushed through... which remarkably managed to avoid using the word 'women' once except in a quote. so yes, sounds par for the course they'd ignore this.

Jaysmith71 · 23/09/2021 18:04

I think you know what I mean. In the USA, The Times is universally understood to be the NY Times.

They do get The Times (of London) wrong and mistakenly call it The London Times, because they have city newspapers rather than a national press.

ErrolTheDragon · 23/09/2021 17:58

@Jaysmith71

It has made Murdoch's NY Post

nypost.com/2021/09/23/aclu-botches-twitter-tribute-to-rbg/

But the Times with so much more acreage of newsprint to fill, remains uninterested.

The Times is primarily a U.K. publication with limited space for all world news. It's got this today though.
