Would You Be Happy ? M&s Changing Room Policy

[Bobbisox1]

Sharing a dressing room with the opposite sex?
Again is this a case of ‘ pandering to the minority’ ?

They aren't all like that though. In fact, most aren't in my experience. Just the occasional male who believes his views are so much more relevant than anyone else's.

[pixie374]

It wasn't even abusive... I have been called worse on this thread, purely out of ignorance.

[pastafreak]

Thanks hun* x

*...hope sqad doesn't see that word. It's a hanging offense in his book ;)

[andres]

Do you class your own parents and grandparents with this 'toxic' label?They have not endowed you with any manners.

[pixie374]

Absolutely fine with me :-)

[Bobbisox1]

No Pixie, they are the future and most are lovely witty intelligent people without chips on their shoulders weighing them down

[pastafreak]

We get a lot of student volunteers where I work, and I can honestly say they are all lovely. A few are bit gormeless, but most are kind, helpful, and want to learn and make a difference.
None have threatened me with banishment from taking part in society...yet.

[Bobbisox1]

I’m going to the garden to eat worms Pasta :0/

[pixie374]

Most are... of course. The odd one is exploding with self-entitlement and self-importance. Ignore those xx

[pastafreak]

Nooooo! Bobbie....don't do it. Eat steak...;)

[Bobbisox1]

Done! Thanks hun ( oops)

Now I realise why I read that Polish families have decided to send their children back to Poland for a better education than is on offer here in the UK. It saddens me to read the youths on this site who are barely articulate,ignorant with a feeling of superiority over the older generation. Earlier we had a moron who is too young to recall Hilda Ogden but can do a wonderful impression of her in almost every other sentence this contributor writes. I don't want to stereoscope our young ,so called ,academics but I despair when they throw in their attendance at 'uni or college' as if they are know the holy oracle and font of knowledge. Very sad that recently a load of youngsters could not state when World War 2 started. If it wasn't for better people than their snowflake generation these milk sops would be talking German and singing the Horst Wessel before starting college/uni lessons.Our current little snowflake would of ended up in an oven if he admitted to wearing women's clothes 70 years ago.
I note , like the other juvenile delinquent, he has to rush off to protect his mental health. Poor little lamb is out of his depth in a car park puddle.

Retro, I’m scarred now ( and toxic) for the few years I have left in me

[pixie374]

I don't think that is entirely fair retro. The biggest "snowflakes" I know... much as I hate the term, are always older men. The younger generation are not represented here, no matter what they would like you to think.
The older generation deserve the utmost respect- as younger generations do.
But there is always the odd one who lets everyone down!

[Mamyalynne]

Totally agree with your last reply Pixie, the two young people who have been vocal today are not in my view representative of the many youngsters I know.

This thread was an ideal platform to calmly put points across without rancour or abuse.

Sad it didn't go that way.

[shoota]

He's a snowflake:
'Snowflake is a 2010s derogatory slang term for a person, implying that they have an inflated sense of uniqueness, an unwarranted sense of entitlement, or are overly-emotional, easily offended, and unable to deal with opposing opinions.'
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_(slang)

[Bobbisox1]

It’s been said on here I’m one ( t.i.c) and I don’t see myself as being unique,entitled or even even easily offended, you can’t be on here

[pixie374]

Nobody is representative of anyone except themselves, really. The only time though, that I have seen people really unable to cope, has been older white males (on AB only).and not all of them, of course- who see anyone else succeeding as "political correctness". As if nobody else could possibly be better at something than they are.

[shoota]

You have to admit that definition does describe our friend pretty accurately though...

[Bobbisox1]

Yep, Shoota, it certainly does
