Why is it that kinda creepy dudes almost universally seem to prefer the word “females” over saying “women?” Are they trying to sound academic or something? It’s like they’re talking about an animal species. “Let me describe my observations of THE FEMALES”
That’s because if you refer to a female as a “woman” you have to deal with the “Are you saying I look old” problem, and if you refer to her as a “girl” then you have to deal with “Are you saying I look like a child” problem.
The workings of the female mind us such a mystery that referring to them as seperate species is both the safest and most honest way to address them.
Have you spoken to a single woman in your life you fucking weirdo.
Imagine being as unaware as @screensavorstudios, way to out yourself as a creep whose never had contact with a woman
Hello,
I am writing on this post again for two reasons. First, is to acknowledge that this reply I made to this well over three years ago, was pretty dumb and was coming from someone who was in a primarily male dominated environment (the military) and this was the legally established way of referring to women in that setting, and the reasoning for it. Our government decided that “female” was the safest way to refer to women. I am not using that as an excuse though, the original post is totally correct, it is creepy and dehumanizing, and I apologize for my ignorance and trying to defend a life style, and unfortunately the military is a life style, that I can now see is horribly toxic. I am proud to say that I am no longer in active duty, and after a long period of transition and self acceptance, I’m no longer part of that toxic life style either. I am far more aware person than I was three years ago. Aware of my privilege, the shit my society puts minorities through, and that it needs to change.
The other reason I am writing this is because quite out of the blue this post got some how resurrected and I began receiving direct messages saying everything from “how small are your balls?” to “I’m so sad you haven’t killed yourself yet.” One “unwoke” comment on a post over three years old is enough to message someone telling them to kill themself? If there is any other reason for it I would love to know what I could have done on this site to warrant that, but this post has been the most controversial thing I’ve ever posted, and these messages only began after @bulbasaurfan93 @question-why-not and @manie-sans-delire-x commented and brought this post back. I don’t know how it reached them, or why, but I would like to ask everyone who has been sending hateful messages to me over a three year old post that stemmed from obliviousness to please think twice over doing so.
There is no reason to tell someone to kill themselves. Period.
Allow room for growth, y'all.
