Is the phrase "pale, male, stale" acceptable?
 

Load of people seem to be using this term to generalize and demonize an entire group of people to totally discredit all that they stand for... in mainstream society and not getting pulled up on it?

Technically speaking playing by the politically correct rules set out in society for the past few decades... its pale bordering racist, male sexist and stale ageist? Or being a pale stale male person myself should I just laugh it all off...Im sure if this was said about any group of people they would laugh it off too and no one would ever get offended or sacked for ????

I have never ever heard that term in my life :S

This is used regularly?!

I've never heard it either.

its used everywhere, mainly by smug hypocritical liberals try it on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHES2QZaYk0

I've never heard it either.

Oh youtube wankers are just youtube wankers. I wouldn't worry about it tbh.

Can't see that male is. But to call a white person pale reminds me of 'paleface' used in the old westerns and I would say is racist. To describe an older person as stale is ageist in my opinion.

That surprises me :hehe:


It just childish name calling, they must be getting frustrated if they have to resort to it

no its everywhere not just you tube I am flabbergasted youve not heard the term , its used everywhere, uni lecturers use it all the time as do many many students...theyre taught to hate stale male pale men...theyve never even heard of lloyd george the pale male stale man who gave them the right to vote their national insurance system the tax system, the foundations for the nhs ...nor neu bevan the stale pale male who founded the nhs and built over a million social houses ...feminist brainwash wash sexist male ageist hate passed off as harmless

I've heard it now. Cherie just used it to me on the phone. :oh:

I genuinely have not until this thread :S

Maybe its a regional thing or something

:smug:

some cracking articles on this reverse bigotry against middle aged white men https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...d-brexit-trump

no its rife across the nation and others too, even some women writers think it is prejudicial and plain wrong https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...le-stale-males

Except those people obviously weren't stale as they contributed hugely. Maybe you're missing the target of the phrase?

Also unis teach to "Hate the Pale, Male, Stale"? What rubbish. :laugh2:

I'm pale right now

But then I suppose it's like you referring to everything that so much as concerns women as "feminist" so you do tend to jump at generalisations.

And most definitely stale.

Nope it is 100% true, alas you havent studied it and you will really only understand the bias, the historical revisionism, the male hate and bigotry that is being taught to our students that will poison our society in the years ahead...I know of history students who have never been taught about david lloyd george?

Ive never heard that phrase in my life. But I feel like youre encouraging it when you say stuff like "to discredit all that they stand for".

If this is a problem, then its because people like the op are lumping people together. But considering nobody so far has heard this phrase, I dont think its actually much of a problem

sorry im ignoring as youre probably just pale male and stale:hehe:

I don't think it can be that rife if so many have never heard it until now?

Anyway, I guess in answer to the OP...no its not acceptable. Sounds a bit..writing a whole group of people off for nothing except being white, male and older (stale?)

No lies spotted
