[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes my kids (1 and 3) get super clingy at the end of the day and are excited to tell me all about what's been going on in their lives. But if our [b]manny[/b] wants to talk one of us will corral the kids and the other will walk off with him to chat for a few minutes. [/quote]

Please stop using that ridiculous term.  No other previously-accepted-gender-specific occupation does this.  Male nurses are not Murses and male teachers are not Meachers.  Further, female welders are not Felders and female surgeons are not Furgeons.

"Manny" is an insulting and derogatory term that seeks to embarrass males who go into the profession on in-home childcare.  [/quote]

+1,000,000 [b]but wait there is a poster here who will comment on her male friend that is a nurse and he calls himself a murse [/b]?[/quote]

That would be me. I have more than one friend who does this, and I'm not the only one.

My question for the first PP is: why do you care? What is it about that term that makes you spazz out to the point that you have to reply every.single.time? The only reason I pause at the term "manny" is because I know the psychotic poster (you, dear) will shortly be posting your rant. Why are you so threatened by the term? [/quote]

I am the PP who wrote about manny being a derogatory term and this is the first time I have ever seen it on this board and the first time I have ever commented on it.

I would post the same correction to any who ever used the terms:  Asian, Retarded, Fag, Wetnurse, etc.  It has to do with my morals.  And no, I will never allow anyone to get away with a derogatory term without commenting against it.

Learn from it or learn to live with as I will make a correction every time I see it.  [/quote]

Show me ONE instance where a person has been the victim of a hate crime as a result of being called a "manny".  Until then, don't you DARE compare that word to one as hateful and dehumanizing as the term fag.  You are way off base and incredibly insulting. [/quote]
