Hmmm. Tricky. There may not be a 'right' resolution to this one. The term, or terms (there are others) used in these products are certainly from the school playground. I'm not sure that I would class them with racial terms, they seem a little too purile - I tend to shake my head with dispair but I'm not a woman and it is women's response by which we should judge offence in this case. Without canvasing the comunity for its response there is little hope of settling this. Perhaps they are best met with social presure rather than legislative anyway. I don't know. It's just a little sad to hear these terms from 'adults'. It is difficult for me or any of us non-merchants to judge, not being a party to the discussion in question. But I would like to see something done to resolve this that involved the community.
