We are all living in the same world:

The world that has had Kleenex change "man size tissues" and councils not referring to them as "man hole covers".

In the period around 2010, nobody was too bothered by Nestle's idea to slogan slap Yorkie with "it's not for girls". In fact, most women had them anyway as a statement to the fact that they could, and visibly gave them a statement against the now argued sexism.

This, however it may seem, is not in the interest of sexism, quite the opposite in fact. It's not a push for chocolate bars to be made inaccessible by women. This is to widen the understanding that we all need to be resilient and take in that things that are menial and physically affect nobody's health or life can be easily moved past, people just need the right mindset to do so. This mindset is one that isn't entitled to feel like everyone is a victim, and is one that means people just get on with things if they don't affect someone's health, safety or way of living. 

Although being understanding and accepting of everyone in our communities, political correctness and the worry that some are going to be offended is becoming a genuine problem and seeming to irritate more people than it pleases. 

Let's try and bring back a backbone to this world that is falling into the void of "being offended". 

We have dictated to us what we can say around certain people for fear of upsetting them but it is much easier to teach someone resilience instead of someone having to tailor each sentence around specific sets of different people so that they all won't be upset. 

It's also not easy on companies that have roots in what is now considered offensive. For example, Bristol is changing the name of it's Colston hall, a large venue for entertainment because it is named after a slave trader. While we can all appreciate that slavery was a travesty of human nature, the hall is upstanding as a landmark in Bristol and to change its name is to forget it's heritage, good or bad. (This isn't the kind of history that is needed to be buried, especially while we NEED black history month because it isn't mainstream enough within education normally).

Let's try and make the world more resilient one small step at a time.
