Frayed_Knot Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Close to everything in the Oxford Dictionary seems to be racist or sexist these days and people are taking offence to the stupidest things and hitting the media up with stories like the one attached below! http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/newslocal/central-coast/women-hit-out-at-austrian-schnitzelhaus-sexist-menu-advertising/news-story/5e7758b3858bbcbb0e34023796160553 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Well, I'd say Fishraider or angler too! And just remember fellas, this site is owned by a woman. And without her tireless contributions and efforts to make this a successful site, we wouldn't be on here talking about anything! Cheers scratchie!!!

GoingFishing Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Political correctness gone mad ! Its actually quite sad that topics like this even get given a platform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest123456789 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 +1 for I think angler would be easier duuhhh Plus one for anglers. You must admit some of our language (fisherman, policeman, fireman) harps back to times when women where less respected than they are today (eg when they weren't even allowed to vote!).

HenryR Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I reckon gender neutral is a good thing. Fishos! Then, more formally, Anglers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savit Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Political correctness gone mad ! Its actually quite sad that topics like this even get given a platformAgree. Another example where in order to solve a problem, the problem has to be created. Hopefully not again about mulloway and blackfish other names. Otherwise Reds and Greens might feel discriminated too.
