Farmers should stop using the phrase “farmer’s wife” as it reinforces gender stereotypes, the National Farmers Union (NFU) in Scotland has said.
So when do we English get the vote on their leaving and we can tell ’em all to bugger off?

I could understand that if we were talking about Wales, where the dialect word is “ewe”.
The scotch NFU should have their tails cut off with a carving knife.
It looks as though the NFU could save a bit of money by ridding their workforce of people who don’t have enough to do.
So, if you have a woman, a real woman as opposed to a 21st Century TTK “woman” who is married to a farmer, calling this woman is reinforcing gender stereotypes. And silly old me thought it was describing her…
NFU Scotland are a steaming pile of farmyard ordure. Just describing…
And what if the farmer and wife are married lesbians? Both are “wives”. They really don’t think this through, do they?
To avoid all “stereotyping” shouldn’t “farmer” be replaced by “farmperson”?
A new “diversity and inclusion” strategy highlighted examples of language that had been heard at NFU meetings that it deemed “inappropriate”, including identifying a farmer as “he”.
Arguing that “the ‘farmer’ is not a man”, the report said that they could be a woman and warned: “People in leadership positions need to use correct terminology. Don’t use farmer’s wife.”
Among the other language that “reinforces stereotypes and alienates particular segments” was encouraging male farmers to attend the NFU’s annual conference by saying: “Bring your wife, the shopping is great in Glasgow.”
What a bunch of poofs.
Farmers should stop using the phrase National Farmers Union, as it reinforces idiocy.
How can farmers be confident that the NFU will stand up for them against all the other bollocks if it’s actively promoting this bollocks?
As the CBI is to ‘industry’, so the NFU is to ‘farmers’.
This we discover a law of nature. Any group of very busy people will end being being represented by a few lazy cunts with reality bypasses.
Can we say “farmer’s husband”?
NFU = No Fucking Use.

I used to be very much in favour of this, but now I fear that the porridge wogs would create a failed state within six months of independence and we’d have Chinese subs in Faslane within a year,
‘To avoid all “stereotyping” shouldn’t “farmer” be replaced by “farmperson”?’
I think the ‘son’ in that word is a bit stereotypical John B. It really should be ‘farmperper’!!!
