Like seriously Diane?!
Like seriously Diane?!
Seriously boss, make a point.
Bro you could not provide more accurate call outs for your own ineptitude.
A. I don’t own anyone nor do I think anyone should be owned. B. I’m not six so I don’t “pwn” anyone nor do I add inexplicable extra letters.
Not at all. I was having a conversation with another person and you insisted your vile fucking personality into the situation.
You inserted yourself into a conversation not me so the hubris and feigning indignantion is straight up moronic.
You’re the source. You post childish douchebaggy conments. So you’re a douchebag.
Really not that hard.
Use a source bud, nuh uh don’t mean nothin.
No, it was wif - man. I offered a source, an indignant nuh uh is not a source so how about you go and get one.
adult female human," late Old English wimman, wiman (plural wimmen), literally “woman-man,” alteration of wifman (plural wifmen) “woman, female servant” (8c.), a compound of wif “woman” (see wife) + man “human being” (in Old English used in reference to both sexes; see man (n.)). Compare Dutch vrouwmens “wife,” literally “woman-man.”
Compare that to female.

early 14c., female, femele, “woman, human being of the sex which brings forth young,” from Old French femelle “woman, female” (12c.), from Medieval Latin femella “a female,” from Latin femella “young female, girl,” diminutive of femina “woman, a female” (“woman, female,” literally “she who suckles,” from PIE root *dhe(i)- “to suck”).
Which one seems to you to be more sexist and therefore dehumanizing? The one who’s derived from the concept of a wife as property or the one based on Latin for basically can breastfeed.
Property v fucking life creator
That’s how a compound word becomes a thing, yes. You’re not making the point you think you’re making bud.
You should read the comment chain instead of cherry picking and assuming you know what I meant with your limited context and outward hostility.
In what way boss. Vague answers aren’t a thing worth giving in this context, you’re not a yogi just say what you mean.
You’re a bafoon. Quote where I said it meant wife man or in any way departed from the cited evidence.
You don’t know what you’re talking about, that’s ok.
That’s is literally it’s origin, I’m sorry facts are offensive to you.

Takes three seconds to look up bud.
I never said now implied anyone owed me anything, that’s all in your imagination but does sorta parse or the type of person you are.
Yes, we are having a conversation, ie. An exchange of ideas and ideals. If someone says ““x is because of y” doesn’t make sense to me because q is not y” for future reference the answer is almost never going to be “hah retard! Why are you so retarded!”.
They’re not tinfoil crazy questions or they’d be easy to answer, the fact you haven’t answered them and instead turned to personal insults based on your personal perceptions of me proves you can’t answer the question. You’re literally proving my point as to why perception of offense is different than intended offense.
Hilariously inept, love it.
See another non answer and an insult. If you had an argument you’d make it and clearly you haven’t because you don’t. If someone asks a question maybe be nice or I dunno keep your hateful inside shit inside to save for a therapist.
That’s a non argument.
“You’re a bad person! How dare you ask a legitimate question in a respectful way!”
Rather than “x is because of y” or “I’m sorry I’m not sure I can answer that” but rather going out of your way to be cruel.
So fun question, how is the way you’re talking to me not dehumanizing.
Gotcha.
I don’t think it’s either.
Ok, though I have never heard anyone say that without joking, change that " I went on a date with a male". Offensive? “I went on a date with a dude” Offensive? I don’t think so. Similarly everyone gets objectified, that’s part of being a human unfortunately since everyone uses everyone else as objects.
Asking to stop isn’t a point, I can ask you to stop breathing does that obligate your breathing to be offensive? No, it simply means you feel that way. We don’t call asians oriental anymore because it’s not accurate and comes from a time when the average person if they met an Asian person they had probably met a Chinese person. Fun example being Indians, they’ve asked routinely not to be called that and guess what? They keep getting called Indians. Offensive? No, hilarious because all it points out is white European hubris. Similarly, what Steven wants to be called is irrelevant, what they respond to is if you get my point.
As the supreme court famously said, “one man’s vulgarity is another man’s lyric.” I can’t determine what is going to offend you because there is such a crazy weird amount of shit to be offended about, an accurate title that just makes you feel weird is not something worth worrying about. I avoid it anyway because I don’t like to hear people’s word virtue signaling rants when I don’t.
It’s not not-nice to call a female a female, it might make you feel weird but that’s a you issue not an anyone else issue.
It doesn’t dehumanize anyone though, male and female are the two most common sexes in humanity so it being either doesn’t disqualify you for humanity anymore than any other multi hyphenate.
Also no woman isn’t specist in is etymology, its sexist technically we only take it as human because only a human can consent to enter into marriage.
Wif = wife / man = mankind. Literally the wif of men, technically you aren’t even a woman if you aren’t married or at least capable of being married.
I just avoid it altogether and rephrase my use of “females” to be inoffensive but to be honest I don’t particularly get why it’s so offensive.
It isn’t, and you’re still not making a point.
Bro, what is your point.
