I haven't been spanked this weekend. Unfortunately.
Just wanted to make that clear so that anyone who's popped in for spanking can
save time:) No, we've had a weekend doing DIY stuff for our son and there has
been neither time nor leftover energy or, for that matter, controversy
unless you count disagreeing over carpet colours.
However, browsing the newspaper late on Sunday I noted that our GP's are going to start asking all of us to declare our sexual orientations. Yep the powers that be need to know whether we're straight, gay, lesbian, homosexual, transgender, whatever, so that they can treat us all equally or something like that. WTF is that all about then, I mean I go to me GP if I have a pain I can't work out by myself, how does it help him to know my bedroom preferences? And who else will get to know? And what the hell has it got to do with them anyway?
I told P about it, he already knew, he said it was
entirely in keeping with this government's behaviour.....we're allowed to change
our gender just by saying it, John Lewis is stocking clothing and
other stuff which will not carry a gender identifier so, eg it won't be 'girls
dresses' it will be 'childrens dresses', a boarding school in the South
East which 50/50 boy/girl, is going to stop segregated lodging and
'boy' kids will be allowed to wear dresses and wear makeup to events like proms,
companies are starting to have shared toilets...etc etc, it goes
on.
I said is it just us, are we falling behind with a
changing society, a changing world? He said no not at all, it's just the guys who
are pushing all this stuff are mad and authorities that go along with it
because they're frightened of not being politically correct are mad too. We, and
loads like us, are the sane ones, he said. And if Doc ever has the
temerity to ask me for my sexual orientation I shall say neutral, which of
course he won't have tick box for and I shall refuse to explain, and I
suppose he will put 'declined to answer' if he has a tick box for that. Or
perhaps 'refused to co-operate'.........perhaps they'll have a tick box for that
in years to come and god knows what that will lead to. Needless to say, my
husband is a bit anti these sorts of things. I suppose I am too but I'll probably just tell the truth if and when I am
ever asked.
I do think it's a bit mad though.
Have a good week.
