breeders describes a straight couple who have children. most often used by gay folks, i am reliably informed. See! Everyone's learning!
 
To be fair, I don't think anyone has said it's just women that have these signs in their cars.


I'm sure it's not but I reckon it is probably weighted more to women as generally they seem to be the parent who does most of the ferrying around. But I'm sure men have them on their cars for the same reasons, and that's fine too.

Ok, so back to issues with your parents. Either way a particularly shit way to refer to people just because they are parents, what are your issues with people who have children?

I think you might be adding something, tbf.

I'm not backing up others here though, as I don't agree with them, but I don't agree that there's anything sexist in what they are saying.

i dont think so at all. it's a word that's entered the vernacular and it's entirely harmless. i really have no problem with people that have children, more power to them. i do however, have a problem with you and your baseless, ad hominem laced accusations.
 
That was a joke love, to highlight the fact that while you can put your mobile down to drive your car or not drink, you can't really lose the children.
If your children are so unruly that they distract you from driving safely, then I think that finding a way around this situation should be your problem, rather than that of the pedestrian you run over as a result.
If you are ferrying them to an emergency hospital appointment then I will give you some leeway.

I think you don't have children, and must also be an only child. And anyway, babies and toddlers are not unruly, they're just not quite at the contained stage yet.

It's a shit word with pejorative associations and if you want to use it expect to be called out on it.
 
You know those new signs they've put up around town - you know, the ones that don't bother listing a lot of the older/less groovy pubs around Brixton - well, they've just declared the corner of Coldharbour Lane/Moorlands Rd as being in Loughborough Junction. :facepalm:
Do you think they may have meant Loughborough Park?
On first investigating I thought Editor had the wrong end of the stick - the sign outside the Domino Club clearly says "Loughborough Park" (although it points in the direction of Loughborough Junction)

On the opposite corner by the allegedly "unfriendly" park is a new TFL sign he refers to:New Loughborough J.jpg
This at least has the correct instructions to access Loughborough Park (the park that is), and the directions to Camberwell and Loughborough Junction station cannot be faulted.
Apart from the location ID of the sign itself, the map on the sign shows everything east of Gresham Road/Moorland Road as a kind of Greater Loughborough Junction. Even more bizarrely for a Transport for London information sign, Clapham North tube station is shown as a short walk down Canterbury Crescent.

apparently they were invented for a good reason- if you had an accident, it told the rescue crews they were looking for a very small victim (not always obvious, particularly in a bad crash)
that is what I heard too, in fact it was someone moaning about the fact that they should NOT be on display unless there actually is a child in the car at the time.

Breeders aren't just women, are they? I just thought it meant all heterosexuals. Maybe I'm wrong.
I never bred, but maybe I just haven't found my inner gay yet?
 
Vin Diesel gets called a breeder by Thandie Newton in Chronicles of Riddick. He takes it pretty well.

Unless you are male?


That's not what I said at all. I said men have the same problems and so would probably use the same thing. But women tend to be more the stay at home parent so one can assume that during the day they are doing the driving of the kids. I don't understand what your issue is with that unless you've misunderstood me? I'm not suggesting men don't pull their weight if that's how you're taking it, just that society has it that women do the most childcare.

you're the only one getting upset, and as has been pointed out to you by a few posters, it doesn't really mean what you initially thought it meant. so yeah. throw yourself a little self-righteous indignation pity party to your hearts content - no one's coming.

gaffer tape fixes all.

Sorry, I didn't realise it was positive word about parents. Knock yourself out, use it all the time, sound like a cunt.

You mentioned banning women from driving, when no-one was talking about women driving.

Despite you liking my post it wasn't actually meant as a compliment. Go and be ashamed of yourself.
