is political correctness arrived in ASIA?

[georgegeorgia]

Living in Australia and now in my 60"s i remember the days of people smoking on TV ,cafes etc and TV comedies that are now banned etc.

Maybe im getting old or im reading too much of this facebook and tiktoks social media but i see people are offended by everything .

 

looking at tiktok a man and his filpino wife have posted videos,he seems to be about 60,his wife 20's,i see comments from both men and women calling him a pedophile etc and saying they are offended .

 

i work in a workplace environment now where the newer generation hardly talk to each other and if we older ones do we have to be careful and no more calling women "darling" etc and no "leering" at women etc.

we arent allowed to say man or woman,in case of pronouns someone could get offended ,

 

 

I think this PC  has also come to Asia and dont get me wrong some things are good but some things are i guess "crazy"......for eg  my next door neighbour is a school teacher and works in a school and if a child falls over in the playground he cannot assist them etc , 

 

i guess other things come to mind , about 2 years i accidently stared at a asian girl probaly in her 20's walking across the park here in Australia  power ,walking with tight leg trainers on and headphones 

,a lady standing next to me probaly in her 40's  waiting for the walk signal shook her head  at me in disgust, so i apologised to her for looking at the girl across the park,no idea why didnt even know her  but i did,then she said "please dont look at young girls anymore ", ...Sorry " i said back to her

before we got the green walk signal after that and she walked her separate way.

 

,i actually felt very guilty looking at women nowadays,obviously i remember those days back in the 80's on constrction sites where tradies would wolf whistle etc.,which im glad stopped in a way.

 

but now if your a older male your considered a "pedophile" by westerners if you go with a younger lady and that even means if she is 30yo i guess if your older than her,well thats what i see by these comments on tiktok etc when some older farang guy posts videos of himself and his asian wife who is younger 

 

so theres absolotely no way i would tell anyone i travel to asia because they get perceptions and may get offended ,

 

Even telling people at work or socially about going to thailand has stopped ,i remember having a chat to a younger guy who i thopught was a true man with his tattoos etc once on a construction site job about a year ago  and i he asked me about thailand and seemed excited and all i told him was i loved going to the bars there and even watching the ladyboy shows, he asked what they do in the go go bars etc and even though he looked like a real "blokey bloke" type i was surprised and shocked at his response ..."i find that so offensive ! he said ,those poor women ,forced to do this ,i find that so offensive and derarogortory he shouted 

 

,i immediately had to stop talking to him and walk away 

 

I guess this kind of thing will arrive in Asia as it becomes more modern and newer generation .

 

As i said dont get me wrong,some things wernt good before PC ,but now it seems everything is "offensive,maybe im getting old

You are only as old as the woman you feel.

Maybe as a young attractive woman suffering leering looks from old men you might have a different perspective.

 

Remember it is not just a one off incident when you do something like that, they have to tolerate this and other obnoxious behavior all day, everyday.

Girls often wear low cut tops, so they can't complain if we look. Wear a high cut top if it's a problem

And a puffer jacket if they are well endowed?

Yes, when I used to work and tell everybody I take vacation in Thailand men had been shocked and after adding...and I bang 18 year's old chicks--my reputation was established.

I just laughed and enjoyed minimum freedom of speech.

Girls who walk around half naked with super short shorts  and low cut tops with boobs hanging out  and then complain if a male dares to look at them need to take a good look in the mirror.    Looking is ok.  Cat calls and stalking are not ok.  How many older women would not look if a young handsome stud with abs and a speedo walked by them?  Not many.

Pity you didn't tell her to "naff off". The PC propagandists got away with their agenda because men wouldn't stand up against them, now IMO all real men are doomed.

 

Thailand has been infiltrated by the enemy already so that ship has sailed into the sunset. Some years ago Thai nurses protested because some farang bar had bargirls dressed as sexy nurses- right on, IMO.

 

The real irony though, is that western women have got almost everything they wanted, but the beast is never satisfied, and wants more, more, more, even though more doesn't make them happy.

Like the “LGBTTTQQIAA”

https://ok2bme.ca/resources/kids-teens/what-does-lgbtq-mean/

People often use LGBTQ+ to mean all of the communities included in the “LGBTTTQQIAA”:

Lesbian
Gay
Bisexual
Transgender
Transsexual
2/Two-Spirit
Queer
Questioning
Intersex
Asexual
Ally

+ Pansexual
+ Agender
+ Gender Queer
+ Bigender
+ Gender Variant
+ Pangender

The decide they want to be something else - and the whole world must give in and change the language structure to accommodate them.

IM not so HO there are male and female ... end of

The rest is in their own minds - and most probably Schizophrenic

I left the West at age 15, 20 odd years ago for a few reasons.

 

PC culture being the main one (it's got far worse since I left!), if PC comes to Asia where else can we go!

 

Freedom of speech is non existent back home, I reserve the right to offend and hate, in return have no problem with anyone else offending or hating me. That being said I don't take offense, at all, couldn't care less, the only thing that really angers me is other people taking offense at things that don't concern them.

 

The woke brigade will be the detriment to the West, I hear people saying they wouldn't want their children to go to school in Thailand, well I wouldn't want to send children to school in the West, scary what they are doing now, 4 year old children being allowed to identify as the opposite sex with no input from parents just one example of lunacy beyond bounds.

 

If you are 'normal' I would leave the West at all costs.

One thing that is not being taught - I believe - is for children to learn to think.

It is all "This is how the world is, this is how you must act, and think, and feel, and do.

Maintain the Status Quo at all costs, when to do so just increases the number of slaves in the world.

When what it should be is "Question Everything"

Ha, I can't remember the details now but a while back when I spoke to one of my daughters I said 'Hello birthing person [+name]' in a joking manner and she immediately replied that having no children in her married life had never been a subject of discussion before, so why now? Whoops! I then had to explain that I was simply using the the term that the University of Liverpool (or was it Manchester?) in England were suggesting that the term 'women' should be dropped because it has 'men' in it and 'birthing person' was more (biologically) correct. My daughter didn't feel comfortable with that term because it might be abused while negotiating for equal pay but that the term 'woman/women' was more conducive to....I remember leaving the conversation somewhat confused as I thought about saying the same to one of my daughters that had children and what the response. Seconds thoughts convinced me otherwise, Ha!

Apologies for what ?  I would have said to her, "you should apologise for being an ageist. or are you just jealous of her ?"

 

My f partner is bi, pulls no punches ????"<deleted>$k she is gorgeous" as some good looking girl walks past or "he's handsome" when a good looking guy walks past, same as she said she gets to eyeball a good looking female and I don't.

 

That said, i don't think PC has gone too far per se but times change and world views change and you either change or get left behind being grumpy. If some woman  doesn't like being called "darling" what in hell is wrong with respecting  that and not calling her darling ?

 

Jessica Valenti, I think it was commented once that the only thing worse then getting wolf whistles when not being whistled at and she blames men for not whistling at her as she now older.

"Birthing Person" !!! Who Da F thinks up these things !!!

PC is here but not to a significant degree. Hopefully this is as far as it goes.

Well, yes, exactly. The original poster seems to long for the day when he could casually call women “darling”; but what does the woman think, who’s being called that by someone who’s not her “darling”? Whenever I (and, presumably, most people on this forum), go out in public, I’m read as a man, with all the social and cultural implications of that. I have NO IDEA what it’s like to be read as a woman, so the best I can do is listen to what women have to say about it. This article is a good start.

They are stupid anyway. They tried to stop people calling male midwives by that name, but the origins of the word are apparently nothing to do with gender of the person assisting the pregnant woman.

 

Google gives us

What is the literal meaning of midwife?

a person who assists women in childbirth

 

Seems to me the western world is being taken over by stupid people.

LOL. I've had women at work call me "darling" even though I wasn't their boyfriend.

Too many people looking for something to be offended by now, IMO.
