Hard hats not ‘helmets

Hard hats not to be called ‘helmets’ anymore because it’s not inclusive and conjures up images of the patriarchy and the male member, hard hats will be now known as the more neutral term ‘hard hats’, do you agree or has woke culture gone too far this time ?

Or stopcocks.... But maybe that's OK

I don't believe that this is from the 'woke' brigade.... I believe it is along the same lines as those who claim people want to cancel advent calendars and all things Christmas in schools so as not to offend other religions.

Same. It definitely makes me think about knobs.

No, hard hats make me think of hats. Or falling debris. But not penises.

Surely 'hard' hats is just as bad, invoking images of thick throbbing errections as it does. 'Protective head covering' would be preferable and promote a more wholesome message of safe sex.

Yeah but 'head' might make us all think of blow jobs?

This is very true, it indicates that men are the dominant sex and women are the submissive’s, which of course is not strictly correct, unless it’s a woman wearing a hard hat, then that’s okay.

I’m surprised he hasn’t covered this, its been all over the news, maybe if a shark was seen wearing one he would have done.

Good point well made. Protective Cranium Cover ? Although 'cranium' is an anagram of 'cum rain'...

Never been referred to as a helmet in the trade to my knowledge.

Always been a hard hat.

I do think they need renaming though.

They should be named uncomfortable useless hats.

Or, higher hairline acceleration hats.

I've always called them hard hats...a helmet is what you wear on a bike.

But seriously, I'm going to have nothing left to snigger at at inappropriate moments if this keeps happening

I thought a helmet had more than a strap under your chin.

Mine has a smorgasbord of fruit on it. I had to nail the pin through though to keep it all in place. Don’t half scratch my head.

I once told a work mate about the transparent hard hats available and that I was considering getting one, probably the blue one.

A few days later he arrived in with a clear one. I thought to myself you wee fucker, I'll never divulge anything to you again.

As the day progressed he had the piss taken out of him. The highlight being the health and safety officer saying he looked like a condom and making him put yellow and black warning tape on said helmet so people could see he had a helmet on while working at heights.

At the end of the day I told him I was glad he got one first so I avoided what he endured.

Will history books say the Romans wore steel body armour and hard hats?

The Vikings…sorry Vikqueens…Vikpersons jumped into longboats wearing hard hats and animal skins cruelly taken from cute little animals??

They will simply be described as boats as "longboats" is sizest.
