1	Don't date this chick Yeah that's the case in Swedish also (well in certain branches, the male form has become the standard in quite a lot of places though - and is now considered neutral). No one would say "arbetstagerska" instead of "arbetstagare" about an employee. Hmm I'm having trouble coming up with an example that works in English... Person A: "Oh and the receptionst didn't give me the right papers either!" Person B: "Maybe "hän" was having a really bad day!?" -"hän" could technically be replaced by "the recep…	/r/PussyPassDenied	18/05/17 04:26 AM
1	Don't date this chick Oh I see, I'll keep an eye open for the next times I see it now! Even though I might be considered fluent in English, I'm still picking up on some subtleties!	/r/PussyPassDenied	17/05/17 07:06 PM
1	Don't date this chick Ah well I don't live in Sweden! All my info comes via text, so that's why I thought it might be used! Newspapers, written things and TV are my only sources of knowledge from Sweden (except maybe Flashback, but that forum is probably not a good representation).	/r/PussyPassDenied	17/05/17 07:04 PM
1	Don't date this chick Not widely used (as far as I know, don't live in Sweden though). Newer generations and people working in media are using it though. It's basically stolen from the Finnish "hän" which is just the natural way of speaking in Finnish (you never know if it's a he or a she unless they go out of their way to mention it). If I in Swedish started talking about "hen" to my grandmother she'd just ask what I mean (e.g. did you say "han" or "hon" "he" or "she").	/r/PussyPassDenied	17/05/17 07:03 PM
1	Don't date this chick But if you're talking about a person and you don't know the gender? Wouldn't it be convenient to have a neutral singular term like the Finnish "hän"? I don't speak Finnish as my mothertongue yet I'll use "hän" in certain context when I am not sure of gender. It's not out of some weird social pressure or anything, it's just convenient!	/r/PussyPassDenied	17/05/17 06:58 PM
16	Don't date this chick You could not judge a girl based on a joke out of context, but I guess considering context is overrated to you!? Anyway I realize which subreddit I'm in, but I found it quite obvious that the girl in question was telling a joke (and probably also the guy). Calling someone a bimbo without self respect based on such a shot snippet was an interesting choice! Overall the word "bimbo" feels a bit archaic? "a derogatory term for an attractive but unintelligent woman". Oftentimes used to attractive wom…	/r/PussyPassDenied	17/05/17 06:39 AM
15	Don't date this chick Really? My SO has like a total of 5 pictures of her on facebook over the course of many years, none are without makeup, because all are of special occasions. She also wears make up a lot in daily life, since she really likes playing around with it and having different styles, it's one of her hobbies. She's still "objectively" good looking without make-up though, it's just that she enjoys doing it. As a side-note: before I knew her, I thought make-up was stupid as hell and a sure sign of insecuri…	/r/PussyPassDenied	17/05/17 06:27 AM
2	Don't date this chick Why did you add gender? Just got curious since I'm learning new languages and discussing the issue of gender in language. A lot of people seem to think it's best to move away from it (Sweden even made a new word to be gender-neutral "hen"). Is perhaps using "it" in English considered a bit cold/dehumanizing? Then on the other hand you'd say "it's a boy" when it's a baby, and not "he's a boy".	/r/PussyPassDenied	17/05/17 06:18 AM
