A Wee bitty more PC nuttiness!

Having just recently read The Gingerbread Man to my 3 year old granddaughter, I will now have to sling the book, and not buy her any more "Gingerbread Men" from Waitrose!

Re: A Wee bitty more PC nuttiness!

This seems to be the latest snowflake movement. What about Sleeping beauty – doesn’t give consent for the kiss by the Prince, snow white and the 7 dwarfs (can we even call them that now?) or just change it to persons of unknown stature, the ugly duckling – demeaning and shaming – it goes on and on - I read bedtime stories as they were originally written and don't feel any guilt whatsoever.

Never seen a Gingerbread Man with an appendage, so I dispute its status gender status.

I remember reading about that recently too.

They were saying it was teaching kids it was alright to make advances to someone who was unable to give consent!


So I thought, does that mean we can no longer kiss someone in hospital goodbye as we leave, if they have nodded off are unconscious???

These twerps try to cause more trouble than they're worth.

..I heard straight from the horses mouth that the bakers have decided to put wee icing penises on the gingerbread men so that there's no doubt about Their gender
