Ok Kennelers, it's that time of the week where we facepalm ourselves of PC gone mad!

Teachers in the UK have been told not to call female students ‘girls’ or ‘ladies’ because it reminds them of their gender.

Natasha Devon, a former government health advisor, told the Girls’ School Association’s annual conference in Manchester, “never walk into a room in an all girl’s school and say girls or ladies” because it is “patronising”.

“I don’t think it is useful to be constantly reminded of your gender all the time and all the stereotypes that go with it,” she continued.

Devon also feels the same applies for boys and suggested teachers use gender-neutral terms such as “pupils”, “students” or “people”.

“I actually think in some ways boys are more constrained by the expectation of their gender,” she said.

“And whilst that is being challenged and changed I don’t think it’s helpful to keep saying ‘girls, girls, boys, boys’, because there is so much implication that potentially goes with that.”


Devon believes using the term ‘girls’ can imply pressure for perfection, resulting in anxiety.

Using the term ‘boys’, she feels, implies “being macho, not talking about your feelings, being told to man up”.

“If your narrative is saying girls don’t get angry, or boys don’t cry, or girls aren’t allowed to do this, or boys aren’t allowed to do this, then that is potentially going to have an impact on your well-being.

“So I hope that in taking away the negative stereotypes associated with gender, we can ultimately improve their mental health.”




^ Surprise surprise, the bitch calling for this shit looks like the biggest lesbian out there!

Fkn ridiculous ay. They think if they dont call them boys or girls they wont realise they are that? Does the same school make the girls wear dresses? Maybe they need unisex toilets too because segregation would identify their gender. Another crazy woman in the uk wants the sleeping beauty book pulled from schools because prince charming kisses sleeping beauty without consent.

I mean the world has lost the plot.

Soon doctors will not be allowed to tell parents what the sex of their child is!

Parent: “Is it a boy or a girl?????” (With an excitement look on their face)

Doctor: “for the sake of not hurting people’s feelings, I can not say, but I will draw a picture which might allow you to figure out what you might be having!”

As the doctor attempted to draw a figure with a skirt and long hair, they worked out this might confuse the parents more, so ended up drawing a picture of a vagina!

if it is a girl they will say " it is a human with a penis inside its body"

Natasha Devon sounds like a GIRL / LADY with her own gender problems.

Is the word Woman still allowed???

What a fucken dumb bitch.
If being called a girl, reminds you of all the negative stereotypes girls have faced in the past, that a reflection of your fucked up mentality. Not a reflection of society.
Fortunately, this thing, has no say in the UK, she was fired from her role as an advisor in the school system, years ago.

Meh. It's the opinion of one crazy woman (although I'm sure there are others) and it won't have any bearing on what society will continue to so well beyond the time we push off this mortal coil . Relax and enjoy your weekend... the weather is too good in Sydney not to.

I can’t believe my kids are going to grow up in a time where this fucking Twat and all her PC mates with armpit hair Bob Marley will ask why it’s not dreaded are running the joint. You know the worlds fucked when I’m saying back in my day and i just fucking turned 35. This bitch needs to chill out and relax ... maybe sit on a fire hydrant and cool off.

As someone who just turned 40, I offer this advice with the utmost respect:

Settle down you old fart :grinning:
