I am going to be mugged for this post but still, must keep freedom of expression up! I have been thinking of the whole feminist idea lately and have found some flaws with it all.
For one, my year has about 3 or 4 very large home ec. classes. But there is not a single boy. And, since I'm pretty sure home ec. is about learning to be a homemaker, it surpasses me why these girls who do home ec. still find it sexist when a boy says that there are more female homemakers than male. It's like learning to play piano and then being angry when someone says that you play piano a lot.
I had exactly this conversation with a 9 year old girl in my karate class:
karate girl: why do you have long hair?
me: why do you have long hair
karate girl: I'm a girl
me: I'm a boy
karate girl: but boys aren't meant to have long hair
me: so your telling me that just because I'm a boy I'm not allowed have long hair?
karate girl: pretty much.
me: OK just because you're a girl you have to cook and clean for the rest of your life
Yeah how do you like them muffins! This just shows how you can only be sexist to girls and only rascist to black people. It's crazy!

Complaint posts : Political Correctness
Ahh political correctness, the reason we can't have conversations without hesitation. It's that sort of thing where you can't call someone black, they're "african-american" even if they live in Ireland. You can't say 'ginger', you have to say 'redhead'. Sometimes it's even worse. You're actually not meant to say 'fireman' you have to say 'fire-person'.
I think that it may be because of the way history has been written. History is always biased but mostly it varies. On some things it can't. You can't say "the whites enslaved the blacks" without sounding biased for the blacks. The thing is, history is meant to be studied so that 'our mistakes cannot be repeated'. But this has led to people saying that racism is the worst thing possible. There has been enormous speculation on an Australian KFC ad where a white man amidst a black population talked about feeling awkward. here is a link to it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FftZt-Dw_hQ. I don't get why there is that much speculation. They were just trying to advertise their product.
The same can be said about disabilities. In my CSPE book there is a poster on what you can and can't call a disabled person. It is crazy. Politicians would not be called 'full of hot air' if they could use unparlimentary language.So, in conclusion F**k you deputy political correctness
