The latest mothering?

May be I’m just too old for this but I feel if you can’t say no to a cake there is no helping some folk.

Banning cakes in our place would be an infringements in company policy leading to industrial action as cakes are the only thing that keeps us going on the mundane nightshifts.

Don't use "mothering" - someone who doesn't identify as a mother (no, not Samuel L Jackson) or isn't able to have children might take offence.

Not as f*cked up as this woke nonsense. Can't see the 'hoo-ah' brigade following this utter p1sh. Seems we can make up any word we like these days to pander to the vocal minority.

https://nypost.com/2022/12/22/marine...-misgendering/

"Misgendering (v): to use the wrong pronouns or other gender-specific words when referring to or speaking to someone, especially a transgender person (= a person whose gender does not match the body they were born with):

Examples;

He often gets misgendered and it bothers him a lot.

She was put on leave after repeatedly misgendering her colleague and making homophobic comments to them"

Hopefully no-one can be bothered invading Britain or the USA. Anyone under the age of 30 would be too "triggered" or "stressed" or "offended" or "gender fluid" to fight off Johnny (or Joanna) invader.....

Maybe the Drug Squad could start a "Just say No" campaign if it's that bad?

This is all just ridiculous. I can only assume it was a slow news day which is why someone bothered to write down anything that Prof Susan Jeb said. If I were one of her colleagues, I'd now be bringing a cake in every day just to see if she's true to her word.
Lou Walker obviously has a birthday coming up and is too tight to buy cakes for everyone in the office so wrote the report in the first place.
