just saw a very funny rendition by ronnie barker 1980s about person people and changing the language - he was 35 years ahead of his time and shows how ridiculous the whole thing is - ending up calling people 'thingies'
all rather tiresome this newspeak thingy |

Now we know why Bernard Manning was considered sexist.

Moisok, is that the one where nazi women were in charge, and the 2 ronnies had to wear feminine clothing. It was very funny but not too far from becoming a reality these days. That kind of thing is called 'Predictive Programming', where future plans or events are featured on TV, films, books, music, etc. "Hidden in plain sight."

that's the one 'thingies' and person people etc etc 30 plus years ahead of his time but he was joking
and we all know the whole thing is laughable but it keeps people (I mean things) in jobs. Although Jobs might not like thingies in him!!!?? And it gives people platforms and gets losers plenty of attention. There are small groups of people deliberately going around doing this over all sorts of issues. |

The worm that turned! Not quite the Great Raspberry Blower of Old London Town but funny and carried some edge sexually and politically and was subversive....and hilarious that we were saved from these women by a mouse! |

Yorkie's 'not for girls' ad was dropped a few years ago. Shame - I quite liked it.
In cricket the ICC are looking at gender neutral fielding positions. What can 'third man' become?? My guess it will be 'third'. Batsman has become batter already. |

By:
I'm sure the women wouldn't want to be termed silly as in silly mid on/off so that will have to be changed.

cant even have 3rd person, as third person is he , lol
12th instead of substitute is daft too why cant a none male be a batsman, ffs? when folk talk about mankind they mean all humans, err people, changing mankind to people kind just removes women, err ladies, from previous uses of mankind which was not the intent of the speakers, or authors. sometimes we advance forwards into a better world, other times we retreat into a tangled mess. |

Another move firmly to establish women as cricketers was taken at the International Women's
Cricket Council in Melbourne in 1985 'that all players should be known as batsman—not batswomen or batspersons’. .... |
