Canada has an inept and corrupt Prime Minister, who just replaced an inept and corrupt Prime Minister... And the CBC is wasting their time investigating 'wife beaters'?

Muslims should sue that the term “wife beater” is ruled offensive.

Canada is so woke. It’s beyond parody. Everybody I know cause these wife beaters. Women I know called these wife beaters.

So, are we to conclude the woman wearing a “wife beater” tank top is a lesbo? This is so confusing.

I hear North Kackeylackey is offended.

News day/week has to be pretty weak when we are re-debating the positive and negative aspects of the Wife Beater.

I was surprised when I first heard of “wife beater” T shirts. They are sleeveless and presumably that helps in wife beating. Frankly, I never saw much merit to the term. Why not just say sleeveless?

Maybe I’ll go with the CBC on this one.

For some reason, my wife who tends to be pretty open minded about most things really hates it when I call these “wife beaters”. She doesn’t even want me to own any... ha ha ha. I think it stems from her first marriage and a physically abusive husband. I get it and DON’T use the term.

Perhaps it is a stereotype of a southern redneck who tends to wear these a lot beating on his girl? I don’t know, just positing. Another Hollyweird mischaracterization?

They prefer you use the more inclusive term "spousal abuser".

Can't leave out the faggots and trannys.

I know that I find the term offensive. There is enough crudeness in the world without making fun of men beating their wives.

Having said that, there are venues for crude language and where crude language is to be expected. I remember the old “Michael Savage” Bay Area radio show, where he would always feel he had to explain the term, as the shirt allowed a man’s arms to swing more freely as he beat his wife. Crude, but crudeness to make a point.

‘Wokeness’ is offensive.

When the phrase “Wife beater” came along to describe that clothing item, everybody in the old neighborhood had to stop calling them “Dego T’s”. It was as difficult as calling it the “Willis Tower” instead pf “Sears Tower”.

From the time of Clinton to Biden everything and everyplace turned to shit now the clean up is long over due.

With so many small minds with TDS it’s time for more Hotel Hysteria’s to be built.

""The slang term “wife beater” refers to a certain style of fitted men’s tank top. CBC News recently reported that Amazon allows third-party sellers to use the term in ads, despite an Ad Standards Council ruling in March that the phrase is offensive, trivializes domestic violence and violates Canada’s advertising code.""

***

What? Is it supposed to be some kind of reference to the Stanley Kowalski types? If so, times have changed and I have a better name for the Tshirts. How about "Death Wish Wife Beater". Cause that's more fitting to today's USA culture of strong women that don't take no "stuff" (myself included).

Used to be known generically as “sleeveless T-shirts.”
