America & Free Speech: Banned Word For Today

Fred, you know that if anyone can find any way to be offended in this country, they will.

That's todays culture of Victimism.

True.
Stop giving the whiners & easily attention the extra attention they crave...but sometimes it is just too much fun exposing their echo chamber craziness to the sunlight.

Seriously guys, who are "weekend women"????

You can't handle the truth about "weekend women".
Never again!

FFS Fred, I even googled it and still have no clue who you're talking about. Is it a talk show or some sewing circle?

Wouldn't it be better for women to be proud of being called bossy? It implies that they are now managers, leads, and supervisors.

Who "banned" the word? Is this a new law I missed? What happens if I use the word? Unless I'm missing something, I think that this is simply progressive overreach that has that you can either consider incorporating into your vocabulary... or ignore it.

Big whoop. A non-issue.

RR I have to reject your remarks as too bossy!

I caught some radio program on this topic today, apparently the idea of avoiding the word bossy has to do with a liberal notion that not calling young girls and young women bossy will preserve their self esteem and ensure that they can secure leadership positions. More politically correct fodder for the masses, heaven forbid anyone be called out for their behavior when they step out of line; "...I'm not the person at fault, it's those mean people that are out to hurt my feelings and damage my self esteem..."

You men on this website are just too bossy. How dare you demean any woman's comments. How dare you damage their self esteem.

Hey that felt good. Good grief if a woman's or anyone's self esteem is that fragile they just aren't going to make it in this world.

BOSSY MEN! HEY I LIKE THAT! lol

Go back 35+ years or so. People respected each other back then, were polite, and we didn't need this politically incorrect nonsense.
