Nature versus the PC brigade

I sent this email in today to the 'i' newspaper - that's the ultra, ultra-liberal sister paper of the ultra-liberal Independent. They publish my letter (e-mails) from time to time but just in case I'll share this with visitors to this site (God bless you all, atheist fingers crossed)

After reading Katie Grant's article "Why it's time to let toys be toys' in the 7th May issue of I, I would have to ask in all seriousness whether Katie Grant is actually a real person and not something generated by a Super-Politically Correct computer?

No person living in the normal world could come up with this phrase "such behaviour isn't in keeping with prevailing heteronormative gender stereotypes".

What a truly ghastly use of the English language to describe why boys will play with soldiers and girls with dolls. They always have and they always will.

To make such a big deal as to devoting a middle two-page spread to the subject of whether toys should be 'gender separated' in toy stores is incredible in itself, but to come up with a phrase such as the doubtfully existent Katie Grant has come up with beggars belief to we normal men and women who just like to be what we are.

I love women who are clearly feminine and I am certain women love men who are clearly masculine.

Its something to do with a little thing - insignificant really - called Nature.

Perhaps that Super-PC should be reprogrammed to include the word in its database?
