What's wrong with "
parents"? Is that offensive to
single mothers these days, or something? "Breeders" gives the impression of a group of people who do nothing but ceaselessly
procreate, possibly for money. For
surrogate mothers or sperm-bank
donors, fair enough but these are very rare and
specialised cases. No-one else should be described in those terms.
It's a horrible word, please stop using it.
BurningTongues - Do i detect a note of
hypocrisy here? It's quite possible for
discrimination/
harassment cases to brought for using
homophobic terms. Doing it back it is
- a) Snide
- b) Self-destructive
For example, i can imagine being called a "breeder" being used as a fair defence for a homophobic insult.
