Re: Wikipedia entry on swinging
I am about the most non-PC person around and I don't normally get my panties (the ones that I never wear) in a twist over verbiage but I gotta take issue with the term, "wife-swapping." Ain't nobody gonna SWAP me, last time I checked we all do or don't do as we feel comfy and happy with and with mutual respect. I would think the authors are going to piss off a HELL of a lot of women who go to the article to find out about it. Many people assume that Wikipedia is the definitive resource for information and often go no further in their research, I seriously doubt most people would even read the "talk page."
The term is archaic, condescending and NOT indicative of what the lifestyle is about, from what I have seen on this board. Am I making a mountain out of a molehill? That term just irritates me.
