Try applying the ‘would I like people talking about my mother/sister/wife/girlfriend/daugther like this’ rule.
If it’s not to my face (or hers) then I couldn’t care less, it’s just words and someone expressing an opinion…i wouldn’t talk to someone in the manner I posted above because that’s rude…but this forum is essentially anonymous and I doubt Fearne Cotton is reading this.
I have no problem saying what I think, it’s normal…there seems to be an insidious movement to police what people say at the moment, it’s one stop from trying to police thoughts…she’s attractive and not within earshot so I think it’s fine, obviously you disagree and that’s fine too…it’s just differences in how people are brought up, I was taught that words can be ignored and you can walk away, it’s no big deal…but physical harm crosses a line…the old fashioned ‘sticks and stones’ upbringing I suppose, people are far too sensitive and looking for offence where none is intended.
