I still say hey guys when talking to different genders. This Pc shit is out of hand

That is your opinion.

I don't have a problem with using the term 'guys' but I am not a 'lad'.

It's actually a fact. You describing the statement as an 'opinion' is a testament to this.

Fact is I am NOT a lad!

No, PC crap being out of hand is not quantifiable surely. It can only be opinion until you reach total consensus which makes it an accepted fact.

'Guys' is gender neutral according to the Oxford dictionary.

1.1 (Guys) People of either sex.
‘you guys want some coffee?’

I am aware of that and I don't have a problem with 'guys'.

Lads on the other hand.

Not sure how you come to the conclusion that the only way to determine a fact is a total consensus? Do facts require total consensus?

You need to repeatedly demonstrate with evidence, without it being disproved

When 'total consensus' facts about race, gender, iq, etc are through out the window in the name of political correctness, its is demonstrable evidence of how out of hand it is.

I literally meant nothing by the of the word "lads". It was an attempt to make an intentionally daft comment sound chavvier. I know there's women here and the whole thing was a parody of the statements own ridiculousness. I didn't mean to start a discussion about PC culture

I feel like Ricky Gervais now when he explains the ins and outs of his joke after saying it mid standup

[Cripps17]

I do not like 'lad' either, but in fairness, nor are we 'bitches'.

 

[Jabba73]

My PC seems to have gone haywire. Lots of strange random posts showing up.

Appropriating Native American culture. That's hate speech.

Isn’t Chief the head Moderator on here?

 

[Metalcrusher]

FFS I give up .....

I constantly have to deliver SOP/talks at work ... do you know how unnatural it is to say good morning team? In generaly conversation flow?

Isn’t Chief the head Moderator on here?

BLASPHEEEEEMIE!!!!!

 

[Aphrodite]
