Anyone prefer womyn to women?

[rumguy]

just curious

[Fenris]

1. I have no preferynce

;)

[DarkPhenyx]

2. I prefer Babes.

Chicks is good too. Dames, Birds....

Seriously though. IMHO Womyn is as equally stupid as Boyz.

[rumguy]

3. bunnies, hotties....

[Fenris]

4. I don't know..."boyz" is REAAALLLY stupid

"Womyn" just doesn't have the cliché caché that "boyz" does.

[rumguy]

6. very true...

"boyz" just don't work

[DarkPhenyx]

8. Eh! I dunno...

...anything that is that completely PC and....ignorant?....just reaches that point where there is no scale to measure it on. It reaches the level of "person-hole-cover".

[Fenris]

16. Or "Defense Department"

;)

[DarkPhenyx]

19. Properly run it is the Defense Department.

The putz' we've in office lately are abusing it though. Hammers are great tools, you can even drive a screw with it. It isn't meant to drive screws though.

[Fenris]

22. By the way, your sig line is the best quote ever

That has to be my all time favorite quote. How Picasso.

[DarkPhenyx]

40. Thank-you!

:)

As soon as I read it I had to use it. It just seemed so perfect.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

5. I prefer wimmin to either

[rumguy]

9. wimmin...what is that, some kinda prehistoric mammal?

[DarkPhenyx]

10. Oh you would!

*c*

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

24. runt

[DarkPhenyx]

27. I am not!

OK...maybe I am the runt, but still...

:)

[populistmom]

7. Actually, I'm strait

so I prefer men. :evilgrin:

[rumguy]

11. so when you're talking with fellow bunnies, birds, babes, etc...

what do ya call men? what kinda short-hand do ya use?

[populistmom]

17. I'm a geek I guess

I just say men.............. or occasionally, studmuffins.

Heres some juicy ones:

[DarkPhenyx]

13. *raises hand*

I'm a man! *bounce, bounce, bounce*

[corporatewhore]

20. I am bi so i prefer wimmin and men

best of both worlds!!!!

[DarkPhenyx]

23. *barf* n/t

[CanuckAmok]

33. Geez, that was kind of rude... n/t

n/t

[DarkPhenyx]

37. Yeah, it was a little.

wasn't about anything other than womyn being used any context.

[CanuckAmok]

39. Gotcha... Cheers :D

:toast:

[DarkPhenyx]

41. Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

No Fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

:)

[salin]

42. and so in response

well just go with chic, babe, and other terms that suggest no attention to anything other than t*ts, *ss, and legs. Great. But that is your first amendment right.

So let me assert mine. salin's expression of her first amendment rights:

Screw anyone who choses to view me in that context only. Screw them from denying my professional credentials, my education that includes an advanced degree from the top program in the world (not just the country) in my field of study. Screw them who would chose to pretend I have nothing to offer but a view of my chest.

The words suggesting that the only response to a - being - z (not womyn - a term I have never advocated; but instead 'babe') suggest not just rejecting the term - but rejecting the traditional term as well - in favor of terms that reduce women to those body parts that are most attractive to men.

This "chick" has no time for those who view the half of the world's population in such shallow terms.

I figure that is just a little bit more sophisticated of a response than... "puke". But it gets across the same point.

[DarkPhenyx]

44. There once was a Judge...

...who had a woman in his witness box. Trying to be PC, after she was sworn in, he asked her politely, "is it Miss, Mrs, or Ms?"

Just as politely she replied "Doctor, thank you"

[salin]

46. at least he didn't

tell her that women who suffered from domestic abuse - enjoyed it (and used that as the reason for then explaining that domestic abuse cases were a waste of the court's time and money) - as did a NY state judge.

[DarkPhenyx]

47. oh, there are idiots everywhere.

these are the some ones that say it's impossible to rape a man becasue he would have to enjoy it to be erect.

true idiocy has no bounds.

[salin]

well that is an interesting

non sequitor.

[DarkPhenyx]

50. the truely great non sequitor...

...are the ones that actually aren't. They only seem like they are until you stop and think.

Most people miss that second part though.

[salin]

52. or the ones that are -

very diversionary from the topic at hand - after thinking about them (which I did.) It is actually not an uncommon tactic here at Du - sort of a bait and switch. Very intentional. And another form of marginalizing the initial point raised. But heck this "chick or babe" (the said perfered terms over women as well as womyn) I have had too much experience with marginalization over my professional years. But wait... tell me about that rare - but valid - case of generalized male marginalization - because according to some that would be the only story to talk about.

[DarkPhenyx]

62. So you say.

In this case you are unfortunately wrong. Particularly since there was no real topic to begin with.

You are also overreacting.

[corporatewhore]

54. Have you read inga muscios "cunt a decleration of independence"

turns out cunt used to be a title of respect for high priestesses and words like cunning come from cunt I loved that book so much.
As a bisexual woman or womyn i tend to inspire "puke" alot first since i am a woman who acknowledges that i have sexual feelings and does not have the traditional purtitanical beliefs about sex women are expected to have (we women we dont really care about sex we shouldnt want it only men can have lots o sex) and secondly since sometimes i have sexual feelings for women.I do sometimes objectify women but i also objectify men aswell (i am all for equality!!!) I personally like to call myself Badass Chica


"When she talks, I hear the revolution
In her hips, there's revolution
When she walks, the revolution's coming
In her kiss, I taste the revolution

Rebel Girl....."
rebel girl by bikini kill

[salin]

56. and I am to for equality (to men and women) in asking

just don't objectify me.

[corporatewhore]

58. just jokin

about the objectifying part!!!!

[rumguy]

59. doesn't everyone need a little objectification from

time to time?

[salin]

60. understood

and thanks. :D

[aQuArius]

12. being a woman, myself

I personally like being with MEN as much as possible, especially one MAN, not my husband :evilgrin:

[rumguy]

14. woah...this is a spicy post

[aQuArius]

26. Oh, but you LOVE it

C'mon, I gotta spice things up in here once in a while. maybe you're that MAN, lol.

[rumguy]

29. true...

everyone needs some booty-call action from time to time...

[DarkPhenyx]

15. Oh, and we forgot...

...Woah-man. Can't leave that one out.

[CanuckAmok]

18. definitely 'women'. I can't stand Birkenstocks and acoustic guitars!

n/t

[DarkPhenyx]

21. What do you have against acoustic guitars?

:mad:

I play acoutic guitar!

[CanuckAmok]

25. Nothing, except...

...their potential to engage in "Kumbaya". No matter how well you restrain your guitar, there's always the risk...

[DarkPhenyx]

31. Dude...

...you seriously need to listen to some hard rockers "unplugged". Screw Kumbaya! Give me some "My Own Personal Jesus". Johnny Cash rocked!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

35. OH SHIT!

That's MY favorite song on the disc...I really hate you now

[DarkPhenyx]

38. OK, wait a mintute...let em get this straight...

...or bi if you prefer...

You "hate" me when I piss you off and we disagree. You "hate" me when we agree and things are calm.

God-damnit! x( I just can't win!

[blondeatlast]

66. Johnny Cash did that one? Wow--gotta hear that!

Great song . . .

[DarkPhenyx]

67. Oh Yeah!

It's a good cover of it too.

[FloridaJudy]

53. Don't knock the 'Stocks!

Folks like me who work on their feet love them!

Try spending eight hours standing in cute Italian high heels. You'll be begging for orthopedic German sandals by the end of day.

[CanuckAmok]

57. I have nothing against them--best birth-control devices ever!

Just joshin ya, you know...

[blondeatlast]

65. My take on the matter, as well.

[salin]

28. Wow... you (all) like me, you really, really like me...

or then again... reading this thread... perhaps you don't. Just a babe (re: a set of boobs) posting... take no mind of me

:eyes:

btw - woman and women is just fine with me - but directly call me a chick or babe or refer to my anatomy in as classless terms... conversation over. Don't have the time to waste.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

36. Oh it gets better

[salin]

43. thanks for the warning. n/t

[FDRrocks]

64. How about...

Towards my female friends I usually greet them as 'Girlie', then follow all other references with thier name. It's just something I picked up somewhere along the path. "Hey girlie, hows it going".

[Rowdyboy]

30. I'm gay...Do I prefer men

min, or myn? Hell, either will do in a pinch

[DarkPhenyx]

32. OK, so.....

...no bonking boyz? *c*

[mike_c]

34. I don't....

The root for "man" means "hand", not "penis." The last time I checked, all humans had hands, irrespective of gender. Sometimes cultural rights issues are more divisive than necessary. I think this is one of those instances.

P.S. Some of my best friends are women.... </sarcasm>

[FloridaJudy]

45. Urk! I HATE Womyn!

And I'm an unapologetic Feminist.

Weird spelling just makes us look peculiar - and alienates many men who would otherwise sympathize with our goals.

[DarkPhenyx]

48. You forgot stupid.

I am also all for equal rights and having women standing as equals with men. Hell, they already are, we just need to make sure they are treated as such.

Changing the vocabularly and verbage is a right-wing tactic that I really don't think we want to adopt for our side. Insising on the use of the right vocabularly would serve out cause so much better.

[RandomKoolzip]

49. Neither. I prefer sex with furniture.

I was humping this ottoman the other day...

[DarkPhenyx]

51. "...and I thought to myself..."

...damn Brother! I don't believe I'd have told that.

and I thought I was having a "sick day".

[Draven]

55. Women, hotties, babes, chicks...

it's all good. :)

[wingnut]

61. hell no

I hate PC revisionism. It's silly and insulting.

[FDRrocks]

63. Nah...

I can't feel that movement. Sure, we men have always had alot of assholes amongst our ranks, but both sexas are humans.

Or is it Humyn?
