I agree. It is insulting to mothers. Call my wife that and they would get their ass kicked.
Can you imagine meeting another couple and introducing yourselves.
Hi, I'm Rusty and this is...
...my birthing person. 😱
The US has gone batshit crazy.
Minority ideas have come to be the rules.
And the crazier part is, I think that wording (birthing person) is used in government documents right now? Correct me if I'm wrong.
 
From the article: "The new spellcheck function has been rolled out across the latest version of Microsoft Word in Office 365, which users access via a yearly subscription.

The inclusivity spellchecker is only included in the version of Word that comes with a Office 365 subscription, so users with a standalone version of Office 2019 or an earlier version of Office will not be affected.

After highlighting the inclusivity issue, Word's new functionality will suggest more acceptable alternatives - which includes discarding 'blacklist' and 'whitelist' in favour of 'accepted list or 'allowed list'.

The function also suggests changing 'postman' to 'postal worker' and altering Neil Armstrong's famous moon-landing quote from 'one giant leap for mankind', to 'humankind' or 'humanity' instead.

Other examples of the spellchecker's woke suggestions reported by The Sun are 'maid' (Word suggests 'house cleaner'), 'showgirl' ('dancer' or 'performing artist'), 'headmaster' ('principal'), 'mistress' ('lover'), 'master' ('expert'), and 'manpower' ('workforce').

The spellchecker also took exception to Mrs Thatcher - stipulating that the former British Prime Minister should in fact be referred to as 'Ms' Thatcher."
 
Affirmative Action IS discrimination. Sure would be nice to be able to get back to choosing people based on their qualifications as opposed to superficial things about them.
There is a case headed to SCOTUS that may stop AA. Some Asian students say that it discriminated against them.

I love listening to Steven Crowder and today he had an episode on Wikipedia and how bizarre that creation is. The things they allow and the things that they disallow or delete because the don't f
it the "agenda" are sickening.
Steven sits here that Wikipedia is the number one research tool out there. They have requirements on comments submitted and sometimes you need more than one source. Seems like even if it's written in the Constitution you can't quote the Constitution because you need another source to confirm it. 😱
It's like if the law in your state says you need to have a driver's license to drive a car you still need to have a second source to back up your "viewpoint"... Stuff like that.
 
On the video that I just linked you if you scroll to the very end the last minute or so it's hilarious. With all the restrictions with all the deletions that they do because you didn't give them enough sources...
Steven types in "birthing person"
If you want to know what Wikipedia's description of a birthing person is...... At the very least listen to the last couple minutes of his show to find out.
Everyone knows Wikipedia is a sham but he cuts it into pieces to show it for what it is. Total BS.
 
So if Biden will only consider a black woman for SCOTUS, is that not discrimination?
How about the best person for the job...
...... Even if he she or "it" is the best person. It doesn't matter what color the person is. You don't vote for nominate a person because they have one skin tone or another or have dangly or non-dangly appendages.
Vote or nominate the right person.
 
Butt Boy needs to go home and nurse his kids. He has no sense.
Speed cameras have been ruled not admissible in court by several judges. Can't cross examine your accuser. Can't prove who was driving.
I remember in KC with the red light cameras. Police were letting a funeral procession through against a light. All the cars got a ticket for running the light. Local judges would do nothing. I think a higher court threw out the tickets.
