What's with men like Dino Morea, milind soman doing web series these days?

They like to work and they're not getting leads or even good supporting roles in films?

Producers also are probably looking for older attractive actors with some fan base and they're not getting top or even just current stars for these roles so it's a match.

How is calling mothers birthing persons cancelation of womenhood ? Is our only characteristic being able to birth children? What about biological women who are not able to give birth or older women who can’t give birth anymore? Shouldn’t be viewed as people without being tied to our able to reproduce?

You are doing exactly the same to Mothers as what society by large is doing to transgenders.

I am sorry but your type of 100% Politically correct culture is not possible. Never.

Most of the time people mean well but they don’t speak well. You can’t be offended at each and everyone not speaking PC culture language.

This type of being “woke” is impractical and super toxic.

I just gave you one link. If you actually want to make a good faith effort to look, there's plenty of other evidence from the late 90s to 2000s. People objected to Christmas being canceled, and since the stores needed them to spend their money, the stores backtracked.

I worked in Walmart from 2000 to 2002. My parents worked retail for over a decade.

None of the stores canceled Christmas. No one was instructed to stop saying Merry Christmas ever. The only thing stores said was to not assume everyone celebrated Christmas and that Happy Holidays was a safe alternative if people were unsure.

Malls, hotel lobbies, airports, stores, continued to have massive Christmas trees and Christmas displays. The only thing ever really controversial were nativity scenes.

There never was a plan or intent to cancel Christmas.

Only some conservative groups made big ado about nothing.

The stores didn't backtrack because they didn't track in the first place.

Nativity scenes continue to be prohibited in government spaces.

Retail employees can say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays based on their preference.

🤣chaman champak yeh sab bhool jate hai 🤣 sabke apne apne chasme hai 😆

RTH, your posts are usually reasonable, so I'm going to assume you didn't know.

Neither Snopes nor ABC is a conservative site. There are others if you want to search.

The rich Mughal heritage and values is an integral part of our rich Indian culture and what we are today.

Anyway, my point was about cancel culture being a global problem.

In the West, it's the wokeratti doing it. In India, it's mostly the right wing.

Actually no. It was only a few weeks ago that women were termed persons who menstruate. Mothers were called birthing persons by the government for fear of offending transgender women.

When/Where was this? The Federal government hasn't done this for sure. The red states for sure won't. Even in many blue states, they won't go that far. I can only imagine maybe in Washington or Oregon, but it's not something I am aware of.

Terms like menstruators and birthing persons are not for transwomen alone. It is for all transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming people. The rationale behind that is that transmen, non-binary, and other people who do not identify as women do menstruate or give birth.

That being said those terms are common only in very niche groups and have not entered colloquial vernacular or government vernacular. Birth certificates still say mother and father and marriage certificates still say husband and wife, and even same-sex parents actually have to file an official request to change it mother-mother/husband-husband et al.

I live in a very liberal city and was pretty regular with some queer groups before the pandemic. I constantly use terms like "you guys" that some people deem non-inclusive and it's fine. The only thing people care about is that you use the preferred pronouns and names and treat everyone with respect. Honestly, no one in my circle uses words like menstruators or birthing persons - not even the transfolk I know. No one is tripping up to find a gender-neutral term for everything.

Sadly, people only see the instances where people make a big deal out of everything and not the chill laidback people who just want to live and let live. Most of the time it's a cishet person who wants attention and followers. It doesn't do much and honestly, makes even trans-inclusive people upset about trans rights.

I don't think the links you posted completely contradict what I said.

Walmart never told its employees not to say Merry Christmas and till today employees have their discretion. Snopes just says it's true that a Christian group boycotted Walmart (for nothing really).

I was unaware of the Target case. But again it's mixed. Target never instructed anyone. And I think the inclusion of Christmas was a temporary reversal. Target is one of the most progressive stores that has faced many boycotts over the years.

It is true that places are sued for Christmas trees all the time and the lawsuits go either way. But in general, it hasn't impacted how Christmas has always been.
