    Stupidity at its worst

    Stupidity at its worst.

    Our (Overpaid and brainless) politicians here in Sweden have decided that in the name of equality between the sexes, the words he (han) and she (hon) shall be substituded with the neutral word "Hen". I know I'm getting old, and my ideas are not proactive enough but I still cherish the difference between male and female things.
    I bought my son cars/planes/toy guns, and my daughter got dolls, miniature horses, dogs and cats, and a dollhouse. (You know the drill...).
    That is also wrong according to the Talibans of sex neutral idiocracy.
    What's wrong with having Women and Men, Boys and Girls?
    Why can't we salute the differences instead of hiding or denying them?
    I know one thing for sure, those politicians will not get my vote next time, because they have their prioritys all wrong.

    No, they started talking about this some months ago, and now they will test and evaluate it for six months in some of the northern parts in Sweden.
    Some of the more rabiate "neutral nerds" even propose and endorse the use of sex neutral names and clothes for kids.
    As if kids today need to be more lost and left without directions.

    mis non, mais non Monsieur! they fecked it up as well I assure you.

    I heard today that young ladies will no longer be allowed the title Mademoiselle. Girls will become "madame". Why? because a) it's simpler (WTF!?) b) there is no male equivalent to "madamoiselle" SO WHO GIVES A WIT!? c) the appelation "mademoiselle" denotes an unmarried female, which could be considered degrading. (BY WHOM?)

    not only that but Baudelaire, Chateaubriand, Hugo, Stendhal, Flaubert, Zola,Voltaire, Montesquieu, Rousseau, Corneille, Racine et Moliere have teamed up with Sartre, Proust, Celine, Echenoz, Sand and Vincenot and are busy turning in their graves as we speak. I think are about to march on the Elysée wearing no knickers & chanting "Ah, ça ira, ça ira, ça ira!"
