I say instead of using the term "as bad as Hitler" the term "as bad as a male / female concentration camp worker" should be used instead. Why does one white male get the blame for genocide, when men and women workers both killed and tortured people in the camps? Maybe the feminists will be triggered if the female concentration camp guards and executioners weren't paid as much as the men.

70% of Auschwitz workers are male, and that's a bad thing

U mean like nazis or slaves?

That's not how language works...

[–]bufedad 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I'm sure that next on their list is... feminism.

[–]njullpointer 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

but... 'man' in this case refers to 'human'. This is literally thought-policing.

In old english man was the gender neutral term for an adult human. Wereman was the term for an adult male human, and wifman was the term for an adult human female. Wifman eventually became woman. And wereman was dropped from the lexicon entirely. Maybe we should bring back wereman, and convert man back into a gender neutral term for an adult.

Many european languages have male and female words/suffixes and so on. You know the shit. Like a table is female and so on.

So idk what the fuck their plan is with that shit.

​

Speak English maybe?

If something I bought was made by a woman, I would say woman-made. Same for womankind and laywoman. I support gender specific labels . But if its a generic title, I'm gong to gender as per its stereotypical gender demographic. Eg: there are too few female postal workers to bother changing he label 'postman".

[–]masterdebator300 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

This seems like not a problem at all tbh. It doesnt effect men in the slightest.

[–]-manatease 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I think rejection on the grounds that "man" does not mean adult male is prudent. Ideologically based changes in language is not good, and although these examples may seem reasonable to you it sets a precedence.

Should female be changed to a word that doesn't have "male" in it? How about woman? The precedence is set that the origin of the word, the etymological construct is irrelevant, just the perception.

I propose changing the name "man" (as in adult male) to "superdude", which would eliminate the problem.

[–]masterdebator300 -1 points0 points1 point 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I wouldnt mind if female and woman were changed. There are much bigger problems for men than this anf i want them highlighted over these.

That being said i see ur point in the larger perspective of language. I just dont think its a mens issue.

I see what you're saying about it not being a men's issue. But where is the opposition to this and all of the other feminist drives? There's an organised political movement that's infiltrated every level of government that has no organised opposition.

I'm perfectly happy with these issues being raised here, even though they are not directly related to the rights of men and boys. It's good to spread information around.
