There goes three-quarters of my vocabulary

They didn't mention SWMBO so we're safe 

A very sexist approach caused by narrow minded ones of the opposite sex 

'The missus' (derived from Mrs, obviously) is "creeping, benevolent sexism"... really? Is it sexist when the ladies refer to their husbands as "my man", "the hubby" or whatever... are we blokes offended by that?

And as for the other terms, "my goddess", "my Princess"... You're not actually a deity and I severely doubt that you're of royal descent. You are, if you're a married female, a Mrs. So that is actually more accurate. Unless of course you're so insecure of yourself that the very reminder of your gender insults you.

Just another article showing how militant feminists are ever so slightly insane.

Well, my 'missus' doesn't mind me using the term, and I don't mind being referred to as her 'hubby'. So please don't tell us that we're insulting eachother.

Hi

Oh I think they did unless you are unsure of the meaning. Its under the heading "The Wife".

Cheers

These fanatics are all over us for our terms of endearment while elderly ladies in this area repeatedly call me 'love', 'darling' etc.
Either that or they are so hard up they're actually trying to pull

The article is a load of poppycock in my opinion, I'm certainly not offended by the word "missus", I used to call my ex "my 'ol man" so I suppose that would now be classed as sexist.

As for the quote above, now that I do find offensive.   

You card is marked Steve.

Worse - sexist AND ageist !!!

We need moderate moderators !   

Its a strange world we live in . Women think it's ok to be offended by a joke of which they are the butt but probobly laugh at the sort of card which proclaims such as " grow your own dope- plant a man " or " if we can send a man to the moon why can't  we send them all?"
