The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds has banned the word for male birds from its website, drawing accusations of political correctness gone mad.
Visitors to the website found the word “cock” had been replaced by asterisks, while the species, tit, suffered no such indignity.
Forum user John D, of Yorkshire, told The Sun: “As bird lovers will know, a Parus Major is a great tit and while cocks do not get past the forum censor, tits do not cause offence. I’ve heard of PC but that is taking things too far.”
A worker claimed the word had been replaced because of software filters but an RSPB spokesman said it preferred to describe birds as either male or female.
Duncan Idaho eloquently explains to us the differences in subject matter between women’s magazines and men’s magazines. A brief excerpt:
What I notice the most about these magazines is who is on the cover; women.
Women, women, women and more women. That’s all there is on magazines for women.
Read the whole thing. I dare you.
UPDATE: It seems that Duncan is no longer updating his blog and the old posts are missing. Fortunately, I found an external archive of the site – so I’ll repost the whole blog post here.

At my local newsagent the women’s magazines are, inexplicably, laid out on the counter; Women’s Own, Bella, She, Elle, Chat, Heat, Stupid Cunt (okay, I made that last one up, but it would do as the title of them all.)
Whilst queueing up I usually scan the covers and headlines and snicker at the brainless articles of celebrity gossip and ‘True Story’ tales that these tomes of glossy stupidity contain.
It’s amazing how much women seem to love tragedy, going by these magazines. There seem to be plenty of articles advertised on the front along the lines of Raped by my step-dad! and Face to face with my sister’s killer! It’s as if, even when heart-wrenchingly real, tragedy is just another bit of gossip for women to ingest at lunchtime and then vomit forth over other women at the water cooler when they should be working that afternoon. Then again, it says a lot that the women at the centre of these stories seem to be quite capable of selling their stories to some dumb magazine that averages fifty-pictures and fifty-words per-article.
What I notice the most about these magazines is who is on the cover; women.
Women, women, women and more women. That’s all there is on magazines for women.
Men’s magazine covers feature trains, planets, aeroplanes, computer game characters, naked women (in the case of porn mags), naked men (in the case of gay mags), half-naked women (photography mags), rock stars, computers, DVD players, guitars, sailing boats, motorboats, motorbikes, cars, guns, model train-sets…and so on.
Obviously the cover of magazines depicts what is of interest to the publication’s readers.
Scan the covers of magazines for men; they depict a whole vast spectrum of things.
Scan the magazines for women, and they all depict are women. Women, women, women, cunting fucking women!
Whilst men are fascinated by a whole range of stuff, all women are interested in, it seems, is women. If they show a passing interest in anything else (like men) it’s only in how they relate to women.
To quote, once again, from Richard Ford; men look out on the world through a window, whilst women gaze endlessly into a mirror.
Finally, what is the most visible achievement of feminism in academic circles?
That’s right; Women’s Studies
They fucking study themselves. Then they study themselves studying themselves!
And women dare to wonder why they are under-represented in the invention and scientific discovery stakes. How can they invent or discover anything when all their sex indulges in is dolorous naval gazing?
VoodooJock tells it like it is …eloquently.
