Evil Sid Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 All this gender neutral PC creeping in. Could be seen as sexist to call a woman and actress rather than and actor. Maybe performer would be a better phrase to use, that way it would engender all types including children and animals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asperity Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Just because an actor looks female, it ain't necessarily so 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latchford Locks Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 HERE WE GO AGAIN A decision not to allow swimming caps designed for afro hair at international competitions - such as Tokyo 2020 - could be reconsidered, after backlash. Soul Cap said Fina, the water sports world governing body, had told them the hats aren't suitable because they don't follow "the natural form of the head". The comments sparked criticism from many swimmers with some saying it would discourage black people from the sport. Fina now says it's "reviewing the situation" regarding the products. In a statement, it said it understood "the importance of inclusivity and representation". "Fina is committed to ensuring that all aquatics athletes have access to appropriate swimwear for competition where this swimwear does not confer a competitive advantage," it added. It said it would speak to Soul Cap about using the hats at Fina's development centres, which train swimmers around the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
