the feminine species
Does this mean two females are able to produce sexually viable offspring?
Idk what they’re called, but IIRC that there are some all-female lizards that can reproduce either by parthenogenesis or lesbianism.
You’re thinking of mourning geckos!
That’s a huge word

No, they want to be called LA class nuclear powered attack submarine.

Is that a US specific term? Do British women get called Astute class nuclear attack subs?
Naw they’re called burds there.
And a happy new year!
A reliable source on TV told me you can’t go wrong with

As a man who likes fedoras, this stereotype offends me. Sadly, it’s an accurate description most of th etime.

Usually it’s a cheap Trilby anyway.
You need to get big into two tone ska, then the fedora is socially acceptable again.
I’ve never noticed that a ferengi head kinda looks like he’s wearing a fedora already.
They wore them so long they fused into their heads.
I identify with this unironically as a low conscientiousness male feminist.

Im a hoe and I dont have a vagina so it clearly doesn’t even work 😋
I hate that society attached hoe to women like equal rights men can be slutty
Don’t get me wrong I’m still a woman, just not one with a vagina :D
And tru men can be slutty too
In most contexts, you’d just say…”people”.
Or, if you’re actually trying to make a demographic-wide statement, like how women aren’t good at video games, you’d just say:
“IGNORE ME, I AN A SEXIST MORON.”
Basically, the meme isn’t much meant for the word choice, it’s how often incels have statements to make on half the population.
“people with vaginas” is one option ig. or if they also identify as women, cis women is another option
I think “vag havers” is the preferred nomenclature.
Vager?
V’Ger? ominous noises in the background
Pascals vager
I prefer “pussy owners”, sounds funnier.
When did “people with vaginas” unironically become a way to refer to anyone, especially as an alternative to “female”?
People with vaginas is the right terminology if discussing something that pertains to vaginas. Eg. “People with vaginas should make sure to see a gynecologist regularly.” in this case, saying “women” would exclude/misgender many trans and intersex people who have vaginas but are not women, while also including some women who do not have vaginas and would not need to see a gynecologist
The person you replied to said “female” though. As far as I know, “Man”/“Woman” is on the gender side while “Male”/“Female” is on the sex side, based purely on things like reproductive organs, chromosomes and hormones.
Although taking all three into account may just make it hard to determine. But it does imply that “male woman” and “female man” are also valid combinations.
“Male”/“Female” is on the sex side, based purely on things like reproductive organs, chromosomes and hormones.
Not really, I don’t think. They’re just the adjectives where woman/man are the nouns. If you talk about a male coworker I assume he’s a man, not that you checked his birth certificate.
Male and Female are still normative exclusionary categories that describe trends within physiology and not hard rules or limits. Sex is not a golden rule. It is a human created category in the same way gender is.
If you want to talk about specific anatomy there is no reason why you can’t talk about the anatomy you’re referring to.
I would also point out that referring to trans women as male woman is very derogatory and is functionally the same as calling us heshes or shemales.
Sex is a lot more complicated than male/female. There’s a bunch of different sex characteristics that make up “sex” and people can have all sorts of different combinations of them. If you just use a male/female binary, that doesn’t tell people what sex characteristic you’re referring to. Maybe something affects people based on chromosones, in which case people who are xy but otherwise “female” (like with cais) would go in the “male” category and vice versa. Or maybe something affects people based on hormones, in which case transgender people taking hrt would have to be categorized based on that. If you say “male/female”, no one knows if you’re talking about hormones, or genitals, or chromosones, or gonads, or whatever else, so it’s best to be specific and use language like “people with [body part]”
well sometimes u need to refer to ppl who have a vagina, because having a vagina is somehow relevant to the topic of conversation. which in my experience comes up very rarely, so i dont have to use it very often.
some people who have vaginas arent women, and so if the topic includes those ppl, then “people with vaginas” is the perfect phrase to use. and if talking about ppl with vaginas who all identify as women, cis women is more fitting.
“female” is a very vague way of referring to something. some ppl use it to describe gender identity, others use it to talk about ppl with vaginas, others again use it to refer to ppl with estrogen-dominant hormonal systems, etc. etc.
When the genital sexuals came on the scene. You know the ones who want to check everyone’s genitals to make sure they are what they say they are. The ones who are only attracted to the genitals, they could care less what is attached to them.
For them genitals is life and they have infiltrated our government to pass laws like bathroom bills. This will allow them to examine everyone’s genitals. So far they appear to be winning and everyone’s genitals will soon be seen by them.
The Genital Safety Administration (GSA) will need to have a booth in front of our bathrooms there to perform their checks. Another genital sexual licking their lips in anticipation next time you have to drop a deuce.
Casual erasure of post-op trans people is really fascinating to me. Like, how did our culture shift from the first thing people think about trans people being “have you had tHe sURgErY yet???” to “if you have a vagina and are a woman you are cis”?
i know this is an old comment, but i wanted to reply anyway. im sorry for my comment. i hadnt thought about post-op trans ppl at all.
to clarify however, it wasnt the “first thing” i thought abt trans ppl, im trans myself actually.
i guess ive had too much contact with pre-op or never-op trans ppl and too little with post-op ppl to have this on my radar.
i will try to be better in the future!
As a magical talking lion, I always go with, “Daughter of Eve.”
A talking lion and a flying squid? That’s some Lovecraftian horror combo
Flying Squid is just my mom de plume. I’m really a Jesus metaphor in big cat form.

What would Freud say about this one? It’s not overly sexual but I like it.
Freud would probably say, “autocorrect, huh?”
I’m not going to fix it now.
It’s Lilith actually
I know someone who ain’t gettin’ into Narnia. Not on Aslan’s watch, lady!
Furry Jesus was watching? Ew.
Common but baseless myth
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve done a Reddit Atheism™, but the same could be said for the garden of Eden.
Next you’ll be saying there’s no Narnia.
The Garden of Eden, as we know it today, is more or less canon by the books. Meanwhile, the pop culture view of Lilith is not even close to its source materials.
This ain’t about faith, just being pedantic about the fanfic vs the manga.

When playing a RPG of some sort, sometimes they give you the ability to reallocate all your talent points in a different way. Such as switching from melee focused to something magic oriented like a wizard or a witch. This is called a Respec, short for Re-specialization.
Respec sounds very similar to Respect. The Original Post is about respecting women.
I appreciate your interest in my comment, hope you have a nice day. Take care.
Thank you for your thorough explanation, I now understand the joke and will react accordingly:
“Heh, that’s pretty good.”
Agreed
clearly ingenue is the correct choice
or for a potential fun comment thread: is dude gendered? I grew up in a place where a lot of people called everyone dude regardless of gender. That said, when I’ve brought this up, some people get real heated about it.
Hey dude, don’t make it weird. Take a bad song and make it wetter.
Dude can be gendered
and some people will think you’re just looking for an excuse to call men people who aren’t, if you say that dude is not gendered to you
we’re on the internet after all, and no one knows the real intentions of the people behind the screen

Idgaf if dude can be gendered
good for you, some people really don’t want to be called that.
part of respecting someone’s identity is respecting the terms which they want and don’t want to be called by.
getting them wrong doesn’t make you an asshole, getting them wrong and not caring does.People need to get over themselves
in this context this is identical to Conservative “the new generation is too sensitive!!!” drivel.

Uh-huh. Seems you already know your stance is wrong.
Say it, you coward. You’ve already been blowing all the dog-whistles you can find, surely you have the guts to actually say the things you’re thinking.

My niece calls her mom “bruh”
I sometimes do that to my mom too
Same with my niece and nephews. They call everyone bruh.
Are you okay having the tables flipped and someone calling you “sis”?
Using male language as the default may not bother you and you may have no ill intent with it, but it does have a history tied to it. A history where women were seen as less than and didn’t have equal rights. Western society still uses male language slang regardless of gender (hey guys, dude, bro, bruh) and it all stems from a history of a patriarchal society. Every time we say, “hey guys” to refer to a mixed-gender group, we perpetuate patriarchy, whether we intended to or not.
Legally and overall culturally, women are still seen as less than and we still don’t have equal rights (e.g. divorce and abortion law).

Actually women have superior rights during divorce, in the western world anyway. Try to keep the children as a man during divorce.

I use “my guy” as a humorous precursor to the rest of my sentence regardless of whom I’m speaking to.
You know I’ve said “dude” all my life and I still use it all the time in regards to everyone. If I saw that someone was genuinely offended at being called dude I wouldn’t use it again with that person, but now that I really think about it I don’t think I’ve ever heard the term in a derogatory way. Like ever. For me it’s always been a happy/inclusive word for addressing friends. My only worry for now is that saying it shows my age.

then you’re golden, dude 🙂
the dude abides.
To me this feels like you could say “Guys, <insert sentence directed at a group>”, as a general term to catch the attention of/refer to a mixed genre group as a whole. Anyone getting upset that you’re using “Guys” in that context to refer to both men and women is just looking for an excuse
