Sam Smith uses words as a power trip for his ego. I think it's easy to see he is attention seeking. I think it's easy to see how he lacks either empathy or respect for women.

The only thing going on in his strange little mind is:

Me, me, me! Look at me! I'm so important, so special! Why didn't they create a special non binary category and give me a medal? It's so unfaaaaaiir! Women? Fuckem! They should be musical geniuses like me, if THEY want a medal.

The whiny voiced, flabby ballbag.

Omg, how absolutely mean are you all??????

ffs, if Sam Smith chooses a pronoun and chooses to use that, so what??

I hate gendered words, they are exclusive and drive a lack of inclusion. I am not a chairman, fireman, policeman - gender neutral words are more inclusive.

i am just wondering whether you realise where such hate of gender neutral pronouns may lead?

I'm Stickman...Oh wait

This issue has become so black and white - it's quite themichean.

What do you shout if Sam falls off the trawler?

"Them overboard!"

I would imagine, "Thank fuck for that!" .

How this thread has made me nostalgic for that sixties band Themfred Themm.

Applause for RedToothBrush. Eloquently put.

Sam Smith uses words as a power trip for his ego. I think it's easy to see he is attention seeking. I think it's easy to see how he lacks either empathy or respect for women. He is tone deaf to sexism but is trying to appear progressive. He dresses like a monumental wanker (I usually refrain from commenting on what people wear but when you dress up as the goth marshmallow man and expect to be taken remotely seriously, I reserve the right to let rip).

I don't like the men, his music, what he is trying to impose on others, his ego, his attention seeking, his disrespect for women, his contempt for how his actions affect others nor his politics. I certainly do not like his whining when people have the audacity to say this because he doesn't happen to like it. We are free to dislike whatever we want for whatever reason.

The fact Sam Smith makes it easy to dislike, is frankly not my fucking problem.

If he stopped and thought for half a second about his impact, and his sexism, maybe he might understand why.

But gender neutral words aren't less sexist because 'default human' is still male and societies expectations still revolve around that.

Read invisible women...

There is a pub near Lough Corrib (in the west of Ireland) called 'The Angler's Rest'. You don't need the ridiculous 'thems' etc. Angler does the job.

When you talk about dehumanising through the use or denial of language, what are your thoughts on females being described as menstruators, or womb havers, or vulva havers, or cervix havers?

You see, those words are used to describe many of us, against our will, and are deeply offensive. It's being forced on us, that's the language we are expected to accept. We are - sometimes literally - policed in our use of language by a tiny number of people.

Sam flaming Smith is part of that movement. So do forgive me if I don't feel particularly inclined to think he's anything other than a self serving prat.

Absolutely! But remember what they really mean is.... 'I'm only bothered about what l feel upsets me, or doesn't centre me.. I don't actually care how what I do or say affects anyone else, I'm the only one that matters, don't agree or capitulate? Literally violence'

I would actually quite like to watch Deadliest Catch: D list Sleb Edition with Sam Smith on it. Who else would you put in the crew?

Good idea!
Ships Captain- JKRowling
Deputy-Ricky Gervais
Cook- Jack Monroe
Deckhands- Dylan Mulveney, India Willoughby, Laurie Penny
Merthems on a rock- Munroe Bergdorf & Susie Green

Oh for goodness sake! I heavily dislike Sam Smith. DD keeps going on about how ridiculous his black costume was - it literally looks like a chicken! Don't know what's on with them really. Non-binary I get but there isn't a need for a "fisher-them." Can't believe he won a grammy for Unholy as well, it's an awful song.

Like a Merthem?

Grammy was bought and paid for.
Fisherthem Sam wouldn't last 5 minutes on a Hebridean trawler. Could be a new Ben Fogle show for Merthem though.... Themsy relocates to the Baring Straights....

I've nrtft but fisherthem, really Sam, that's a bit binary, fisthemthem. Though be careful with that first syllable!
