Wokery gone mad

Why is that woke? It is standard language for tools plugs etc, isn't it? If it looks like a dick it is male, if it has a dick fit into it, it is female.

I take it we are talking lego rather than fletton or engineering here?

Thats not my recollection of masonry/house building bricks.......

We are talking LEGO bricks dear. They offend the LBGTQ community, or someone thinks they might because they 'normalise' the male penetrating the female which is apparently insulting to arse bandits ,lezzers and boys in frocks.

We had all this with male and female electrical connectors some years ago.

The bumps on LEGO are actually known as studs. Is that worse?

Some technical terminology:

The OP forgot to say he was talking about LEGO bricks.

An awful lot of life reproduces by asexual division. Important crops like potatoes and bananas are produced that way - the potato flowers and berries aren't used much.

But I take your point.

Quite rare to see potatoes running round shagging each other :-)

OOh Arrgh., You haint bin down tham there potato fields on a moonlit night, have ee? Taters are very romantik ...

Don't female FLOWERS have sticky out bits as well?

Perhaps clarification should be made to refer male to 'top' and female to 'bottom'. Some of the LGBTQ+ community might agree?

Not true. It might not reach the diversity we have today, but there are asexual organisms. Many of the simplest single cell organisms reproduce simply by splitting. And whilst reproducing sexually many other creatures, typically invertebrates such as slugs, snails and worms are hermaphrodite. Some are both male and female at the same time, whilst others change gender.

For example all clownfish are born male and some change to female later in life.

So whilst it does not often occur in humans, there are many gender-fluid forms of life where the terms "male" and "female" are either not appropriate, or not fixed for the life of the organism...

It's not always that way round.

and spherical objects.

Absolutely correct. Standard engineering and electrical practice and nomenclature for over a hundred years.

And heterosexuality goes back a bit further than that. I think those who disparage it are working to reduce the Western population, whether they realise it or not.

Think of the sheer terror of being told that Red is positive but *Black is negative*....

Lol. THAT modern!

I had a great aunt who strongly resembled Miss Marple.

I think the furniture with stuff covering the legs..

AS a family we couldn't afford to be Modern. Whatever was out o9f fashion and therefore cheap secondhand, was what we had.

Nobody who lives on a low income can *afford* to entertain fancy moralistic notions or the latest fashions.

Only when the 60s came around and we all had a bit of pocket money could we iundulage in Carnaby street, rock music and feminism.

Female maize flowers have pubic hair (to catch the pollen I assume).

Missionary LEGO?
