What's wrong with gender?

Yes I'm against sexism but why deny male and female exist? Do these people see force in mankind. Take man out of human and anywhere else men or man appears as three consecutive letters. It's just stupid. It's got nothing to do with sexism it's language. Why did "expertsexchange" get changed. Why could you not find Scunthorpe on Google? Yes, maybe we need a pronoun for sexless gender but we can't erase masculine and feminine from our language. No newspeak. As long as the   of the use of language is not offensive why take offence. Get a life.

Clarkson has a foul mouth?

So Jezza has put his foot in it again,? Using a "naughty" word.

Now I'm not a fan of Jeremy Clarkson, he does not amuse me and irritates like mosquito bite but on this occasion I am with him.

What is it with these "Language Police"? Certain words are now banned, they used to be OK but now you can't say them because you might "offend" someone.

For heaven's sake they are only a collection of letters pronounced In a certain way. Where is the offence? Surely it is the context that they are used. Will the Thought-Police ban all words that have other meanings that offend, its like 1984, Newspeak? Rewriting history will be next - the Holocaust never happened? Did William the Conqueror invade us or was he invited?

What about "Bl*ck Labradors" - will they all have to be Euthanized or given another name? "Un-white Labradors". Gosh I'm getting paranoid now - what dare I write - someone may get offended?

Didn't Guy Gibson, Dambuster and War Hero call his dog this "N" name? Now I hear they can't use it in the latest film of the Dam Busters!

Re-writing history has started.


Bah.
