Sooner or later gendered language in the AFL will be in the spotlight. Can you think of any examples that will be targeted?

Team songs will be I'm sure. The Sydney Swans already cleaned theirs up.

Sydney Swans change 60-year-old AFL club song to remove gendered language

The Swans have made the ‘small but important change’ in an effort to encourage inclusion ahead of a possible move into the AFLW

Woolworths is slammed over 'woke' Christmas act

Woolworths has divided Australia with a Christmas act that many have described as being 'woke'.

Oh hey, they also still sell Gingerbread Men. Maybe you can fondle its little gingerbread penis:

Thankfully here in the Bay we're all about inclusion and diversity (NTTAWWT) and use gender-neutral terms like flog and campaigner.

Here's an example:

OP is a massive flog and an absolute campaigner. It's no surprise they're a West Coast supporter.

This is absolute bullshit from Woolworths. They think they are all woke but they have just stuffed up again due to their short sighted crap.

They need to call them Ginger Gluten Free Bread People.

I am looking forward to the Peoplechester Derby

Peoplechester United vs Peoplechester City

How’s Bendigo going?

Thought the heading said gin.
Anyone tried the spicy mead at Dan Murphy's?

RWNJ angry for no reason.

Maybe you'll care more when they change "Sons of the West".

The Bulldogs AFLW team already sing a slightly different song.

I couldn't care less. Nor would I rage over the name of a biscuit.

Some people just need thicker skin.

Exactly. Why would anyone have a problem with the name Gingerbread Men?

Some people just need thicker skin.

Especially the people who were so offended by the name Gingerbread Men they felt the need to pressure Woolworths to sell something with an alternative name.

Nobody was "offended ' by it.

It was a corporate maneuver to score more profit by being more "inclusive"

That you're raging about a year old story about the imaginary gender of a biscuit is pretty wild.

Maybe you should learn a romance language.

'Raging.' Nothing like a bit of hyperbole to help you build that strawman huh?

 

[FurTheWin]

All that ginger is riling you up, old man.
Maybe just stick to a plain scone.

That's been working well for companies.

My main concern is do you get less gingerbread?

It's clearly upset you enough to post about it on an unrelated forum despite it happening for over a year now.

It's a biscuit. You'll live.

Depends how "popular" the biscuit was before meeting it...

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

It always leads to a stickier situation when the gingerbread is gendered...

 

[FISTO]

**** it. I’m going to colonise the moon and name everything something offensive.
