I know when I see the word "human" it triggers me and I need to find a safe space.
if you saw womankind to mean 'man kind' would you be indifferent?
im not saying anyone should be offended , im just asking to use your imagination,
Oh knock it off. Haven't you saddos' got any real problems worth addressing?
No?
Then consider yourselves lucky.
So you find woMAN offensive?
Please stop. Human, mankind's means for all people of the human race..
I kind of find it more offensive that people waste their lives with these kind of thoughts.
if it doesn't matter than why do you care what people are called.
It's just use of language. In truth, words can't define/describe anything fully, otherwise you would be able to experience that thing through them
my guess is it would become more clearly absurd if mankind and men was replaced by womankind and women.
its easy to see things as not mattering when you have the freedom to do so. i think it was annoying not offensive but annoying having everything referred to as man knowing i was not a man but my friends were. i think that has an impact on kids whether they are able to articulate it or not. it might be hard thing to understand if you dont experience it. but language is how we make sense of the world. words define everything thats the point of them. they dont have meaning until they are used enough by enough people, then suddenly, they do.
Interesting thoughts. "Define" wasn't really the word I was looking for..."express" is probably better. I know it's fun to use words to paint pictures in poetry, songwriting, storytelling and just general conversation, but I believe ultimate reality is beyond words!
Ya why does it have to be woMAN as well. But seriously this is a disgrace to ACTUAL sexist issues. Moving along.
why is it a disgrace, why can't you think about it.. not necessarily being offended, but how it would be if things were reversed.
why not dare to at least use your imagine instead of being defensive?
@AriadneSky I understand what you mean but girls in third world countries suffer much worse in terms of sexism and I'm sure they don't wonder "Why is it called huMAN?". There are plenty of real sexist issues in North America but this isn't one of them. I'm sorry if I sounded hostile though.
People suffer in lots of ways over here too, that doesn't make the smaller issues less important right? I like Asker's idea.
No, but then again I am from an area where a group of people are referred to as "guys" regardless if the group is all male, all female or mix.
would you care if groups were called gals instead of guys, as a generic term for group of people?
real question, im just curious.
@AriadneSky It would be weird since it's not something I'm accustomed too... I mean, you will see girls go up to their girlfriends and say, "Hey, what are you guys doing?" It's been this way for my entire life. So, if the opposite were true and if saying gals was a generic term then I probably wouldn't think anything of it. If someone just randomly started calling every gals as a generic term I would probably give them a weird look unless they are foreigners to our region. I will also feel a bit weird since the term gal isn't common around these parts in general. A girl will not refer to herself as a gal. I would refer to myself as a guy.. but females won't refer to themselves as a gal. Saying what are you girls, or what are you ladies doing would be more of an equivalent since those sayings are more common but used when referring to all women. Would I care? Well, if I was raised in an area where it was commonplace... no. Out of nowhere. . . probably not, but it would be weird.
@AriadneSky in that example: guys is a term for a uni-sex group.
It's very condescending. How dare people use the word human or mankind to people?
Oh, sweet Jebus! How I do miss the days before all this PC, gender-neutral bullshit became commonplace.
I agree with you about mankind but not about human. Human is one word, it's not two words put together.
You better be prepared to get laughed at for making these ridiculous statements. That ideology is getting on everyone's nerves.
why is wohuman any more absurd than human. would it be ridiculous if human was wohuman and someone suggested it was odd? or is it only odd bc you dont have to care about it.
these answers are so defensive and reactionary. thats 'annoying'. no one even tried thinking.
Good question. I've heard some reference man and woman kind in the same sentence. Human i believe it's just a coincidence man is in the word.
Its just easier/quicker to say man instead of woMAN.
No I'm not offended by it and being offended by something like that is stupid
so you're offended by her being offended but only her being offended is 'stupid'
Iv actually thought this and I think the fact "God" the most supreme being is male could have been created from the thoughts we already had of males over female. Or the thought of God being male created or helped the situation
god does not have a sex. sex is a mortal trait.
@AriadneSky except people say Jesus is God so
@AriadneSky go to bed
son of got-a son that uses the word ''father when he speaks of god.
For the same reason it's no man's sky and not no woman's sky. Be we're men. Respect my authoritah!
*because
you know what, the word woman is from man too. the words are invented by a man first many years ago, so he must create a word about himself.
It's not offensive, because only men matter. lol
Take that feminist extremist.
so if you were referred to as 'woman', it would matter to you?
That's stupid !
Man is our species , like bird and fish
yet it also refers to adult males. why is that not 'stupid' how is it so obvious to you that one thing is stupid and the inverse is not.
@AriadneSky that doesn't make sense in any way , shape or form
Look at what you just said "man"kind wo"man"kind LMAO!
I assume the words come from the fact that we are all made in God's image.
@jacquesvol You're talking it too literally...
Paul said something about the Scriptures which lead to the Sola Scriptura theology. :)
I'm surprised you didn't find the word woMAN offensive. 😂
Haha nice one
this has to be a troll thread right?
i know sjw are idiotic but seriously..
Just going to tell myself that you aren't serious.
I really hope this is satire to show how ridiculous political correctness is. If this offends you then you away to sensitive.
I'm surprised you didn't want to take "man" out of "woman" and just call yourselves "wos"
No I looked it up "wo" means wife so you won't like that either.
There's people dying of starvation, sickness and pointless wars. And you're worrying about words. Made up sounds with our mouth that have no meaning unless YOU give them meaning.
nope because we are all man it just happen that we are better than just man we are woman jk lol
We should protest cause we are offended
Where is my safe space?
My, but we are being quite the politically correct squid today, eh?
I am highly offended what about huTRANSGENDER or huGENDERFLUID⁉️‼️⁉️⁉️‼️ 😡😭😡😭😡😭
Lol triggered.
Your question got featured, and see how many replies it got. You won this round, troll. I give you that.
Woman is offensive
You should say wowoman
Get a life
Calling this a troll is honestly the only way I can retain some faith in the intellect of people these days.
when people have nothing to say to support their arguments, they always accuse of being a troll.
What word is in woman? MAN
What word is in man? MAN
What word is in human? MAN
The word is literally the thing in common between ALL 3 words, thus why it's used to describe everyone.
No one ever says human when referring to either men or women specifically. The word "men" and "women" in itself does just that, so trying to make "huwoman" or "womankind" is not only stupid-sounding, but unnecessary in the laws of English
It's so obvious, I didn't think I'd actually HAVE to explain it. I'd think being this dumb would have to be done on purpose.
Yeah you lousy humans I'm gonna cause chaos misery in your lives, mwahahaha.
Just stop it! Everybody needs to quit being offended by absolutely everything. FUCK!
So people should just stop getting offended yet you are getting offended by a question?
meanwhile did you think of how it would be if people were referred to as woman instead of man?
yes, I think everyone offended by it should have the choice to get called hypersensitivius
Man can be a general term, so no.
its also a specific term. thats the point.
@AriadneSky I said can, not that it always is.
How about being offended by homo sapien? I ain't no homo!
Look fam it ain't that deep. Chill.
You have a tumblr don't you
Well, it is woMAN, so we might need to change that
haha!
and so what if we did. words change. man used to mean human not 'men'. it changed. language changes. why is that funny. you think just bc you are alive now words no longer change?
@AriadneSky are you seriosuly butt hurt?
I think you have a little too much time on your hands.
no, it isn't, and we shouldn't.
you would honestly be comfortable being referred to as 'woman'? or are you just sitting in a place of indifference bc it doesn't affect you?
@AriadneSky Your point makes no sense, if only because no woman refers to herself as a man. Mankind and Human are gender neutral terms. They refer to all of humanity. Making a change to distinguish women from men when refering to our race is much the same as trying to declare yourself a separate race.
Get over it. The word woman has "man" in it to. You can either go full feminazi, or you can realize that that is just how the English language works, and the fact that we base things on the word "man" does not diminish women.
I hope you're not being serious.
Maybe the word woman is offensive too?
hah! good one!
It still has man in it lol
Would you rather be called wo? Rather than woman.
And Gag actually featured this question.
Woman was created from man. Sheesh. :)
Only a dumbass would get offended by that xD
and this is why im not a feminist
All feminism does is drive men and women apart. I can't stand Feminism either.
One more fight begins.
Don't forget feMale...
I don't find the word human offensive
its not offensive, but does it make sense.. more sense than wohuman- if we were used to it?
@AriadneSky ya that makes sense
AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHA
c'mon now
if man kind was woman ind and man was woman would you still think it was dumb to think about?
Bets on if this is a dude...
Typical sexist women.
Id like it huTEEN kind
no one stays a teen.
@Sabretooth ikr? We're annoying 😭😭
Trolling is against the rules of this site.
I hope its a joke
Why? did you at least try to imagine what it would be like if the word woman referred to woman and referred to men. if the word woman was used generically to represent you. language orients the mind, words are hardly irrelevant.
@AriadneSky my oh my, it IS a joke...
