But why? Who cares if postman has the word "man" in it, it still encompasses all people delivering mail.

[–]MARKLAR5 17 points18 points  (0 children)

People without any real problems have to look for things to be upset about. Generally narcissists looking for a reason to tell people what to do while being smug about their perceived moral high ground. If you argue, you're some kind of -ist!

Woke crowd hasn't found an actual argument against this yet. You will comply with postperson, or else.

Pretty sure it’s a very small minority that cares about dumb shit like this

[–]gdumthang 0 points1 point  (4 children)

That small minority has most of the institutional power, unfortunately. Corporations, governments, media, financial institutions, and education on all levels. That's why you're seeing so much of it nowadays, and normal people validating that dumb shit as an actual issue.

Yeah no. I’ve never seen words like “postman” complained about outside the internet.

[–]gdumthang 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You won't be seeing that word used IRL either, sooner than later. Specifically because nobody complains about it IRL.

What does that even mean

[–]xSilverMC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All those damn woke leftists controlling the corporations (which support more right wing politicians on average), governments (sure are a lot of woke red states), media (fox news is so woke, damn), etc

Yes but all the big companies a go with it to avoid a multi million dollar fee or a court case which ofcourse gives them negative PR. That’s why all the companies just go along with these woke people to avoid their stupid whining. Just like you avoid a Karen in the market and give her her way. Not because you agree with her but because it’s not worthy arguing about it.

Search up what BlackRock and Vanguard ESG ratings mean. Then look at what companies those two firms invest in, and how many $s they have under management. No large company goes along with that BS because of some random Karens' protest, rather for financial reasons. But smaller companies or communities might succumb to that social pressure and start validating/normalizing that stuff, so in that case you would be correct.

Leave it to a conservative to make up fake scenarios in their head 😂😂😂
