"Bringing home the bacon" to be banned?

Apparently and old turn of phrase "Bringing home the bacon" is to be banned to avoid offending Vegans and replaced with vegan animal friendly alternatives?

XD XD XD XD XD no

PETA - this is why less and less people give a fk about you and why i recommend nobody even donate to u.

Vegans - are there any vegans that are actually offended by these phrases? i doubt it.

total BS that pretty much anyone would ignore. i love bacon. Forcing me to use the alternative phrase Bring home the Bagels as suggested will offend me. simply for restricting my speech.

watch me go full SJW

Bringing home the bacon is an archaic phrase representative of a patriarchal rule where men were seen as the sole provider of the home and the wife's duty would then be to cook that bacon for her man. Anyone using that phrase in the modern world is thus furthering this stereotype and using a dog whistle to other misogynists.
@Jackaloftheazuresand I don't think most people know or care where it comes from and there for it's misogynistic meaning is irrelevant since they don't know it. They would need to know the history and they just don't.

@canusernamebemyusername I'd actually disagree, I'm pretty sure most people know how it was originally used. But let's not get into it since this was supposed to be mockery.
