Scottish parliament BANS gingerbread ‘MEN’ because it ‘promotes sexism’

Scotland’s Parliament has made the decision to ban “gingerbread men” from a coffee shop at its capitol over concerns that the name of the cookie perpetuates sexism.

Each of these cookies will now instead be called a “gingerbread person,” according to an article in Express.

Reminds me of that time the republicans renamed french fries "freedom fries" because France wouldn't go along with our super great plan of invading Iraq.

Ha. That's ridiculous. What are they even trying to accomplish by doing that? Nobody gets offended by gingerbread men. And if they do, grow some fucking stones. Jesus christ, these liberals are ridiculous.

I think you mean these british tabloids are ridic.  And the people who believe their sensationalist headlines are even more redic.

You're falling for manufactured outrage.

I find the term "gingerbread person" too uninclusive because I've never identified as a "person" (my ex would agree).  I prefer entity instead.

Why not create gingerbread women, in white, black, fat, gay, retard, politician, etc, then fix mandatory quotas proportional to the population?
