Do these "woke babies" have the authority to stop us saying "pretty", LD?

Does that mean all the synonyms are banned.

Attractive, beautiful, gorgeous, stunning.

Stephanie Hilborne, CEO of Women in Sport, last night condemned Becker's remarks.

'The charity Women in Sport has worked for decades to change sporting culture, including to end the objectification of women,' she said. 'When two men are comfortable talking about women in this way, never mind on live TV, it shows there is still more to do.
It was a compliment about a spectator in the crowd. OTT

No, all it means is that someone is over reacting to what a minority of idiots think.

If they do it often enough Harbal, it becomes the norm and they will make a law to that effect.... Look at the law not to discriminate when a man chooses to become a woman. They even allow these freaks to compete in women's sport and be housed in a woman's prison.....It has to be nipped in the bud....

How do we nip it in the bud, Foxy. Should we ban these "woke" people from voicing their opinion? How can we restrict their free speech without restricting our own?

You can't call someone 'Pretty' anymore.

I hope this applies only to DM readers.

So I wonder why some people are letting themselves be stirred up by pathetic trouble makers. Aren't we giving them credibility by reacting?
