James O’Brien’s Woke Watch ridiculed the outrage over Argos using gender-neutral language
The performatively outraged Right are upset again, and this time it’s over their old foe – gender neutrality. Argos has reflected the gender make-up of its workforce by changing the phrase ‘two-man delivery’ to ‘two-person delivery’.

You can probably guess what the reactions were like – but you don’t have to.
Michelle Dewberry demonstrated how offended she was by complaining.
Irony is dead. The funeral will be a family affair only. Send donations to Alanis Morissette in place of flowers.
Many people were fairly scornful of those crying about the update.
Imagine being so insecure in your masculinity you are upset that Argos changes the term 2-man delivery to 2-person 🤣

Things to get annoyed about.
Energy bills
Stagnating wages
Literal Shit pumped into the sea
Zombie Tory government
Shopping prices going through the roof……..Things not to get annoyed about.

"Retail giant Argos has infuriated many shoppers after they spotted a nationwide ban. The ban affects every Argos shopper and worker in the UK."
What ban? The term "two-man delivery".
Infuriated? Then lower your head and charge at the nearest brick wall.https://t.co/vDqU2O9dzq

LBC’s James O’Brien gave a Woke Watch bulletin – and he absolutely nailed how ridiculous the mass tantrum really is.
"The people having a hissy fit, the people clutching their pearls, are the people complaining about the phrase 'two person delivery'!"

Good stuff — @mrjamesob (one of my favorite thinkers around) takes apart the anti-“Woke” folks engaging in projection when they clutch their pearls about things like changing 'two man delivery' to 'two person delivery'pic.twitter.com/QNOlP14KUy

This is a PERFECT example of so called "woke" issues, and the things we're supposed to get angry about, really not mattering. https://t.co/VBup4OMyVX

And the bottom line is …
The delivery could be carried out by either two men, two women, or a man and a woman. So "two person delivery" makes sense.
Let it go… https://t.co/rw0Gsjru0Q
