    What’s not plain English about “people with a penis”? It seems excessively clear and to the point.

    Is the word “people” too difficult for you?

      Or you can stop playing dumb, of course.

      Nobody talks like this but a very small and very select little group of people that can’t stop congratulating eachother for being so politically correct.

        Who’s playing dumb?

        You knew what the speaker meant and challenged their use of language.

        I’m asking what’s unclear about the term “people with a penis” and you’re getting riled up.

        Are you ok?

        It seems like your entire gripe here is “those aren’t the words I would use and I’m not ok with that”

          I’m unsure what is hard to understand. The problem is people talking like they’re mentally retarded just to avoid stepping on the toes of special snowflakes. There. Clear? I am getting tired of people falling over themselves to avoid a tiny group going “eeeekk!!!” for no reason.

          You can just say “men”. That IS the right word, you don’t insult anyone.

            The problem is people using clear language to describe something, and you preferring different language? Is that a correct assessment of your anger?

                You’re the one getting flustered and demanding everyone else use the words that make you comfortable, rather than the words they prefer.

                What do you think “special treatment” means exactly?

                  Special treatment is when people don’t do what he wants, and just being normal is when everyone bends to his will.

                Kinda seems like you are, though. Everyone is fine with the way things are being phrased here and you are just triggered as fuck and constantly bitching. You’re making everything worse for everyone because you need things to be your way regardless of how everyone else feels. Like an 8 year old. This behavior is, I will guarantee, the source of ssssooooo many problems in your life.
