Show me an article refuting, with evidence, any of the claims in that article and I'll stop using them as a news source

Do you really think that is news?

On what grounds is an internal document within an American university no one has ever heard of news in this country?

Trawling the web for this sort of bks to constantly have your world view reinforced for you is a form of insecurity I reckon.

It wasn't that long ago everyone was taking the piss out of the American suing culture, now we have things like a woman getting 20k for banging her knee on a restaurant table leg.
These sort of things dont take long to end up over here.

Unless you live in Ireland 'we' don't have a woman getting 20k for banging her knee in a restaurant.

Ireland has a totally different personal injury compensation regime than the UK.

McKenzie suspended by the Sun.



oh dear, How sad!

I'm offended that such an idiot can get a job. Your average 10 year old would know he was asking for serious ste. I guess the Sun's editor was away that day ?

Hopefully Hopkins will fairly soon find out that having the right to offend people doesn't mean that you have a right to a job.

Oxford University has apologised for suggesting that students who avoid eye contact could be guilty of racism, after it was accused of discriminating against autistic people. The university’s Equality and Diversity Unit has advised students in their Trinity term newsletter that it could be deemed a “racial microaggression” which can lead to “mental ill-health”.

Telegraph said:

But the university has now distanced itself from the guidance, and issued an apology after it was criticised for being “insensitive” to autistic people who struggle to make eye contact.

David M. Davis wrote on Twitter: "This is just discrimination against autistic people. One sign of autism is avoiding eye contact. How dare Oxford be so insensitive."

Hilarious. In an attempt to falsely call people racist, they've got themselves all tied up as to whether they've offended handicapped people.

You can imagine the horror and meetings and navel gazing that resulted from insulting autistic people when all they were doing is silly anti racist virtue singling.

Seeing as I don't like making eye contact, does that mean I'm autistic? Or racist.. I'm confused. I was just trying not engage idiots and bell ends.

If you're a white, straight male then you're automatically a racist, misogynist fascist using your privilege to oppress minorities. HTH.

[e8_pack]

Thanks for the support. So I'm coming to terms that I'm bellisct. I hope I can get through this.

Nope.
Just socially inept.

Asda criticised over sweatshirt that 'perpetuates rape culture'

Angry Nutter on Facebook said:

"Quite literally gobsmacked and raging to see this in Asda Huntly."

"This idea trivialises male behaviour and is the beginning of how society has one rule and set of expectations for boys and another for girls.

"In my opinion, this particular phrase perpetuates rape culture. How many women have been harassed by men and had it explained away as 'boys will be boys?'"

M&S has been forced to change lavatory signs in their stores after complaints of sexism. A customer at the chain's Holmbush store in Shoreham spotted that the female toilet sign showed a woman with a baby while the sign for male toilet just showed a man, and claimed this suggested that only women look after children.

It does seem to imply that if you were a man with a baby you shouldn't take the baby into the gents. Poorly thought out I'd say!

[Wobbegong]

I was whined at by women when I took my 6month old to the baby changing facility. Unfortunately it was in the female toilet area

[PurpleMoonlight]

Is that meant to be a child, or just someone who identifies as a child?

[Nothingtoseehere]

Can't believe how everyone seems to bow down to this sort of crap nowadays.

[Mr GrimNasty]

To me it looks like it's saying, women child abductors this way.

And, men with bad taste in ties, leave the building now.
