Has the world gone PC Mad?

Seeing articles such as this, addressing a non issue I wonder has political correctness gone mad altogether!??

Mr Potato Head to lose "Mr" title in gender-neutral rebrand

The toy's maker, Hasbro, says it will drop the "Mr" to "promote gender equality and inclusion".

www.bbc.co.uk

I mean has the Mr in Mr Potato Head kept some of you awake at night?

Or is this a case of good old free advertising? Me thinks the later.

Plot twist - Mr Potato Head gets mashed due to countless law suits of selling gender un neutral products for decades

Yes, certain factions of the world have in fact gone mad. There is no such thing anymore as “male” and “female” genders (binary).

In the USA we are all now fluid genders located somewhere along a spectrum, and this can change at any given time, depending on how we feel.

So it is kind of like a volume slider on a stereo system. One day you feel a bit more feminine, so you slide your gender knob toward the feminine side. Then you are perfectly OK to use a female bathroom and within your rights.

The next week you may be feeling a bit more “asexual” in your mind, so you don’t want to have a gender. Just an amorphous blob of a human, with no sexual identity or gender whatsoever. There’s bathrooms for that too.

And so it goes. Remember, it’s all about how you FEEL. Nothing to do with biology or your chromosomes.

Awesome post Gerry had a great giggle at that - absolutely correct.

However there is another issue here sure to raise its head soon....

Vegetable discrimination. I mean, where is the Mr Cabbage Head for example?

Also, I did receive an unsolicited suggestion from a forum member recently, that all members’ user names should be appended with their personal pronoun they would like to be addressed with. So for me this would be, for example, OWNER - gerryvz (He/Him).

I haven’t yet taken any action on this, and shan’t until forced to by law.

It's just more anti-science.
Brought to you by the people who tell the rest of us we need to "trust the science."

If you're confused about your sex, simply check what's in your underpants. There, you will find the answer.
And no, I don't care if you're offended by my observation that's solidly based in logic, science and reason.

I recently heard that the parents should not be named mother & father, mom & dad, mommy & daddy, but "birth giving person".
So next time I say to my sons "The other birth giving person was looking for you!"

It's a slippery slope for sure. I read some comedian wants his pronouns to be "hee/haw", genius!

DON’T EVER

This is BS where less than probably .5% of the population are trying to convince the other 99.5% that we are wrong. TOTAL BULLSHIT!

And just as an addendum to my earlier, blunt post.

I'm not trying to minimize or dismiss mental illness or the extreme genetic outliers.

Comedians used to be funny with clean jokes. Today everything is total potty mouth with F this or that.

What’s Funny? Not Much!

I'm absolutely sure of one thing. We all have many way more important issues facing all of us. But of course we must make every individual happy.

Personally, I could care less if somebody’s feelings are hurt because they can’t use the other gender’s toilet.

The progressives are trying to take away our individuality away from us. If they keep it up someday we will all be wearing Chairmen Mao’s grey attire.

Don’t get me started!

Well, I've been searching for a car for the last 90 days.
Try to find a Benz that's not Black, White or Gray...

Some of those cars might identify as a color other than Black, White or Gray. It's up to you to be open to how they feel.


Or you could go for this:

2020 Mercedes-AMG E63 S

Ever since the early 1990s, Mercedes-Benz has produced an E-Class that can punch above its weight class. Cool to think about in the grand scheme of things seeing as it is capable as a seven-day a w…

Ok, from now on...

Before we all blow a head gasket, there is also this other potential reason... Mr. Potatohead sales have bottomed out and they needed some publicity... use a relevant topic to get people talking about the product... doesn't matter if its good or bad as long as they are talking and thinking about the product... social engineering at work, maybe???
