Has anyone noticed the use of the word "partner" instead of husband/wife? Maybe I am crazy but I see that online as well as hear that on tv. It just seems like another thing where the vast majority of people have to change something that most see as normal/common to accommodate a few.
That kind of reminds me of an actress who was speaking at the college graduation at a women's college and told the women that they can be anything they wanted, achieve anything they wanted, or marry any man they wanted. This was in 05 so the attacks on her weren't many but a gay group did attack her for not including gays in they marrying part. Somebody on the radio said that people are free to live how they want but the fact of the matter is that heterosexuality is the norm in society, and to act like it isn't is absurd.
I'm a very much live and let live person, but I do find it ridiculous today with the whole diversity/inclusion obsession that we have pretend that small percentages of people make up a much larger amount or have to ignore basic reality.
Noticed it years and years ago. For all the gay pride horseshit they sure do like to refer to themselves using as bland as terms as possible.
I mean partner? Come the fuck on are you a bloody law firm or something?
Partners in crime? Business partners? Project partners? Hey partner (you have to read it with a TV Texas accent)
Well, duh. It's a courtesy for people that aren't comfortable when I say boy friend, husband, pair-bonded butt buddy, sausage exchange units or eight inch prostate jockey.
Partner lets them ignore all that without embarrassment. /s
