Hit me with your PC stick: Breeders

[Poll #1365260]

I might point out that the appropriate term for breeding females here would be "queens" :-)

Granted, the fathers often get the short end of the nomenclature stick with "tom" for example, (or "lunch") but perhaps we could go for the more flattering "sire".

LOL
I wanted to be honest and all, and it made me laugh, but I did get offended quite recently when someone else used the term.
It's like... there's nothing to us other than the contents of our womb. We get that. We get that every day.

I can understand your reaction!

FWIW, the times I've seen it used pejoratively it was equally aimed at men who brought their children to events that the poster was expecting to be child-free as at women. But we're not talking a big sample size here, and I'm certainly not downplaying your own experiences.
