When did the 'woman' issue come into the world?

To ask when exactly this nonsense about not using 'woman' came into the world? It seems to have jumped in out of nowhere but was that just because I've not been paying attention? Was it before or after the great lockdown? Who started it? What is going to happen about the legacy the late, great John Lennon left the world?

In most cases we should be using names instead of he/she. But where a he/she is required, there needs to be some destinction. I don't recall a third gender that has something different to a penis or a vagina. Therefore that's what we're categorised as. It has all got a bit out of hand though, I mean, how do you have gender equality if you don't have genders?

The woman issue came into the world shortly after Adam laid down for a bit of a snooze under a tree (apple or possibly banana, depending on your source) 😄

The nonsense about not naming women came about because we tried too hard to be kind, and then we got trampled on.

John Lennon was a git and his legacy is one of a few rubbish songs so we won't need to worry about that.

A 'few' 'rubbish' songs? You are entitled to like or dislike them but either you're not aware of his catalogue or there are songs of his you do like?! The man was a bloody genius (along with Sir Paul of course, goes without saying).
