Is it Time to Tone Down the Wokeness, Especially about the Past?

I think you’re missing a large amount of sarcasm in that question.

Oh … I wondered what that whistling sound was, thought we had a windstorm coming.

Insert The Major explaining the races in Faulty Towers here.

I suppose I should watch it some time.

I thought ‘wog’ was Italian?

No lie, I learned 90% of the racial slurs I know from this very forum. I guess that’s fighting ignorance of a kind? :woozy_face:

No, that’s wop.

If it is so very common, findly provide some cites.

Before anybody says I will not accept those cites, I made a claim/ took a position just a bit earlier in this very thread. Several posters provided cites and argumenst countering that claim/position. I deciced the way to get out of the hole was not to keep digging.

Are you requesting a spin-off thread in a different forum where the requested cites will never be posted?
:wink:

I feel like I could have happily lived my life without knowing any of this stuff. Shouldn’t this be the aim, that everyone learns these words as a footnote in a history book?

I have personally experienced this many times, but I can’t really cite lived experience. :person_shrugging: I googled, and someone wrote an article about it:

theamerican conservative. com/its-not-happening-and-its-good-that-it-is/

So do I. Alas, other people had different ideas.

I find this claim to be somewhat incredible.

Fascinating, all that sturm and drang over the “mutilation” of children’s genitals and not a single mention of circumcision.

It’s almost as if this has nothing to do with the what and is entirely about the why.

You think circumcision is mutilation? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Umm, what do we call ‘female circumcision’?
Is it ‘female genital mutilation’?

Are there many people defending that in America today? Or denying that it’s happening?

Ya know, this is the time where you should go ‘Yes, circumcision is mutilation but here’s why it’s OK and trans surgery isn’t’. But I’m not holding out any hope for that.

Er, what?

I wonder why that is?
I mean it clearly can’t have anything to do with the consent, or lack there of, of the person who’s genitals are being ‘’‘mutilated’‘’ could it?

Moderating:

This thread is intended as a general discussion about wokeness and whether it should be “toned down,” not a thread to have a specific discussion about circumcision, male or female. Drop this discussion in this thread and take it elsewhere if you wish. Thanks.
