nothing more, nothing less

reminds me of one of my favourite tweets

Not a media beat up.

explain why it’s of national importance then

of course it’s true, but does it really require the attention of everyone not at the institution?

4019

The source was never reliable (left or right, no media is) but the general gist of what’s in the article is accurate. The terms ‘Mother’ and ‘Father’ are discouraged because they are not sufficiently inclusive. I saw no mention of the term ‘chestfeeding.’

Think of it as death by a thousand cuts.

I stop getting reacting to this stuff a while ago as I’ve kind of given up. This stuff eventually filters into government policy. It’s further deterioration of society. Oh well.

Yes. It’s absolutely insane.

Wait a minute, @simmo41. Did you go from ‘not a media beat up’ to ‘of course it’s true’ in just two minutes?

4023

Did you even read what i said?

No, of course you didn’t.

This is not uni policy. This is not being considered for uni policy. It is simply a paper published by a small group of academics who happen to work at the university. If you’re going to get all mouth-frothy every time a bunch of gender studies people say something peculiar and uncomfortable, I’ve got bad news for you. They’ve been saying stuff like this for DECADES, does it look to you like anything’s changed?

the publishing of the story itself is the beat up. content vomiters go looking for sht like this so they can fart it out into html format and put links on the facebook pages so reactionaries can get mad in the comments and some loser hits a kpi.

it’s a beat up in that it is ONLY being posted for social media engagement and NOT to inform the public

Ummm… what? I wasn’t addressing you specifically, HM.

It doesn’t need to be policy. Toe the line or you’re on the outer.

And yes, there’s plenty changing. Not for the better but that’s the way it is.

Ah, ok. Fair enough. Bit of a miscommunication between us over the precise definition of the term ‘media beat up.’

But what about the transsexuals where the “male” is able to give birth?

Not very inclusive?

Do you object to everything the IPA publishes, too?

(Did you actually get to the link? Down for me. I’m assuming the Daily Mail misrepresented it re: the two mother scenario, but wanted to check.)

academics can say what they want.

its mum and dad anyway for the general public or step mum step dad.

yeh some families have 2 mums etc or 2 dads, but gestational and non gestational parent will never be widely accepted, apart from medical journals if that is their aim.

but yeh media get what they want out of that article, click bait.

i should try and get a job at one of those blogs. i’d be unreal at rage-baiting

monday: post about inclusive language “proposals” (that i make up)
tuesday: post about bike lanes
wednesday: post about “proposed” hiring quotas (again, made up)
thursday: post about extending the aflw season by cutting the men’s season short
friday: take the day off because i’ve already hit my targets for the week, celebrate by drinking a 20 litre barrel of roundup

Ok with the rest, but replace Roundup with an environmentally friendly weed poison, like Bioweed.

That would be contrary to everything he “believes” in.
