The Scottish Parliament has made a sacrificing and dangerous move to end sexism. Change Gingerbread Man to Gingerbread Persons.

How can gingerbread be a man when people keep telling me that being a man means having XY chromosomes? Gingerbread doesn't have chromosomes.

D-does it? :unsure:

Does the gingerbread man live in a house of his flesh or is he made of his house?

The gingerbread man wants to scream, but it cannot. For it does not know, and it has no mouth.

It has no mouth because I forgot to put a mouth in! ><




From the topic title, I know this is going to be it.

Gingerbread Person, Man, Woman... doesn't matter, really. As long as they are delicious!

Must we really jam in political correctness into a delicious treat? Please don't.

Please tell us what YOU think, and why.

For example:

Which is better, squirrels or llamas?

No.

Which is better, squirrels or llamas? I like llamas.

Still no.

Which is better, squirrels or llamas? I like llamas because they are just so fuzzy and silly looking. While squirrels have been known to take on motorcycle riders and even the police, you cannot state that a squirrel is in any way better than the joy that is a llama.

Much better, this passes muster.
