Hot on the heels of our story about shoppers getting upset about the gender of parent car park spaces in Aldi, this story raised the temperature even more.

People were furious at the BBC's reference to snowmen as 'snowpeople', but some of you think we've all gone a bit far.

Get a life ppl its a snow white person now is that pc enough for them or snow white banned as well

I think it’s cute. It’s inclusive. Although admittedly not necessary. Snow dog, snowman snowbaby whatever. Why get offended by a term.

The thing is , if this is because of feminists , they are not bothered about this. It’s making a mockery of feminism! This is why feminism has a bad name. It is very similar to racism , the people in the spotlight take it too far and it becomes ridiculous and it takes away from the actual issues!
