One thing that shits me about the woke brigade is how often they declare themselves an ally or spokesperson for a group, then decide what that group is fine and not fine with. Case in point, the other day I heard someone lecturing a kid cos they said 'disabled person' rather than 'person with a disability'. Now I know heaps of authors with chronic illnesses, blindness, partial amputees etc and they all agree on one thing: they are totally 100% fine with being referred to as disabled and wish the 'allies' saying otherwise would fuck off.
In summary, don't blame the marginalised group, because so often it's not them at all, but some fucking numpty who has decided to be offended on their behalf. -
See now, I would have thought the problem should be that he made a prison rape joke. Getting from there to racism seems a bit of a stretch to me.

@gunner might be Jervois in QTN that has the urinal art referenced.
I see both sides, but I must say if this makes anyone feel objectified, they probably have bigger issues.
or smaller ones.
I have no problem with the poster, but I might have a problem with the aim.
My aim that is. -
Latest woke idea from America, cow-hugging.

encountered some great workplace PC goodness the other day.. and fcuk me for the first time ever I wasn't the person 'in breach'..
anyhoo - had been rocking a particularly terrible 'tache and mullet.. and there was a bit of light hearted banter about it in a team meeting. And I mean absolutely nothing at all.. a 'shit you look dodgy' type of comment.
couple of days later I get called into a meeting so a manager can apologise to me for any offence she may have caused.
I'm like WTF are you on about (total good sort who we give each other shit all the time).. and she tells me that someone on the team has called her out for offending me - and they could definitely tell that I was offended by my body language..
my response was the only time in my life I've been offended in this organisation is when someone decided to get offended on my behalf!
thing that pisses me off the most is that this manager would have been 99.99% sure that I wouldn't give a rats and found the bants funny as fuck but this pc woke bullshit going on now has meant that the .01% of doubt has now sown enough of a doubt seed to lead them to apologise just in case instead of telling this fcuktard to piss off..
Shit like this has lead to the current situation where no one opens their mouth to say anything in team meetings in case someone gets 'offended', which means the workplace is even more boring than it's ever been. So much for bringing your authentic self to the workplace. We're bloody adults, we all understand where the line is (most of the time!)

Welcome to the world we live in. That whole situation is completely fucked.
Years ago someone at work called me “Sambo”.....( my Christian name is a slightly shorter version of this ) and we both got called into the office because the Indian or Pakistani woman we worked with ( can’t remember which but anyway she was a fucken bitch ) was apparently offended. Anyone who’s met me will confirm I am white even for a white guy of Scots heritage so the whole thing was beyond ridiculous, manager knew it as well but he had to follow protocols, give us verbal warning etc.
Fuck I’m glad I work with a great company now and I rarely see anyone as I’m on the road a lot of the time.

The HR department, and their "brief creep" is the single biggest frustration in managing a business.

I'd have "worksafe" up there, but yes.
We used to have to declare human remains in cargo (planes) in case we crashed and they found an extra body. HR were known as Human Remains dept.

The over PC brigade is so sickeningly hypocritical, apparently I’d have the freedom to wear a dress and call myself Caitlyn but what if I wanted to tattoo a swastika on my head and express my admiration for the fuhrer ?
I think that’s what pisses me off so much about it, you’re free to be whatever you want as long as it neatly fits into their little narrative.
