BBC News text :
[Oxfam has come under fire after issuing a new 92-page guide on inclusive language to its staff, the Mail reports. The paper says the guide describes the word "headquarters" as "colonial", suggests "local" may be offensive and says the phrase "people who become pregnant" should be used instead of "expectant mothers". It quotes former justice secretary Robert Buckland calling the guide "totally bizarre" and questioning whether it is a good use of the charity's time and resources.] |

Might be better to spend their time and resources on making sure their representatives aren't exploiting women in disaster-struck countries by paying them to attend their probably-cocaine-fueled orgies.
Sorry, sorry, "fairly paying legitimate sex workers". |

They have an alarming history (multiple incidents) of their staff going to deprived/disaster-ridden parts of the world and then sourcing & paying women for sex at big ol' Oxfam Orgies.
You'd think this was an exaggeration but unfortunately it's not, and it was seemingly covered up at a company-level for years. Last edited by Soldier Boy; 17-03-2023 at 11:44 AM. |

Nobody will use clinical terms to describe their parents.
To clarify I'm gonna guess that Oxfam wants the term "birthing parent" to be used?

I laughed at a presenter on GB News.
He was saying we can't say blackmail because black is offensive and bad. But he says if your bank balance is in the black, that's good. Madness. |

Literal pretend outrage for simpletons to foam at the mouth over.
Most people here went to school, although it's hard to believe with some of them, we all had letters to take home and they always said 'Parent or Guardian'. It was never 'To the mother or father of ____', it was never specific. Crying about someone simply saying parent instead of being specific is just ragebait for GC morons looking for reasons to be mad. |

Why don't you go relax by watching a youtube video that you'll use as the basis of your outlook and opinions because you have none of your own. |
