It's called his story because her story consists of talking about shoes and shitting on other women that weren't there.

Right, in Spanish, history is historia. A female word.

History comes from the title of Herodotus of Halicarnasus' book Historia, which was the Greek for story.

Might also be because men are physically superior and were able to subjugate women that way and not let them contribute...

Define "equally", especially in regards to past societies. Even in some current societies, women are equal by law but not treated equal.

If you're throwing a fit over male affixes in certian words you're so priviledged you have to make up reasons to feel like a victim.

So true,including narcissistic,by making up issues. wile women in other parts of the world live with few-no legal rights or choices.
lesbianwholovesbeerandcheese
So because women in other countries have it worse than us we should stop seeking equality ? What a shit argument.

Are you still talking about the original post here? Bc my comment was in response to the post, that was 100% made up problem.

But yeah there are problems women face in this country for sure. Even those problems are not solved by pointing fingers at “the patriarchy”

We can't call them firemen because it will discourage little girls, but let's call the word for everything wrong in the world "Patriarchy".

To be fair, none of the posters here were really 'throwing a fit'. You're very close to saying 'you shouldn't complain about minor issues'.

I've gotten shit because I used the word "he" to refer to an unknown player in an online game, and someone was all "yOu tHiNk alL (1)

that language was changing and that I should have used "they" instead. I refused. Ironically though, this undercuts the OP's point, and (3)
RayMC
pLaYeRs aRe MaLesZssz?!?" I had to explain that in this case, "he" was the default word to use in the English language. Person insisted (2)
RayMC
since in this case the male form of the word is default. Still, I'm not gonna abandon the way I speak because someone's offended. (4/4)
ReykStilbrook
“I’m not going to abandon the way I speak even though it is wrong” is what you said there. You may not have written it, but it’s right there
GodEmperorOfImgur
Unless you're going to assume that the unknown person has split personality, don't use "they".
blissinignorance
Thanks for the laugh
BladeMcCloud
Maybe you need to look through OP's post again.
RayMC
Its not though. They is plural, not unknown. The masculine pronoun is always used to refer to an unknown individual. I'm not making this up.
phionix33
Are you familiar with Wittgenstein and how he described language as "forms of life"?

The word suffrage comes from Latin suffragium, meaning "vote", "political support", and the right to vote... NOT suffer...Hehe jk...

Fascism's linguistic root is fascinus, an ancient Roman festival focused on the penis, which is fascinating. Even more (1
ButterfaceTaintClown
Fascinating is that fascinating also shares this linguistic root. As does fascinator - an ornate, often feathered hairpiece that draws (2

Attention to the wearer, much like a cockerell's display to impress hens. Hence the English saying "he thinks he's cock of the walk" (3
ButterfaceTaintClown
To describe a man with an inflated sense of ego. This swollen display, to impress women is perhaps why cock has become slang for male (4

The etymological root of fascism is the Latin word "fasces" which - I'm not making this up - means "bundle of sticks".

That went places I didn't expect, though I don't believe the culture/language relationship is as one way as they've said.
DanSapSan
"If we decide as a culture" just isn't a thing. Cultural, and later language changes come from gradual shifts. But right now we realise
DanSapSan
That some parts of language are unnecessarily gender fixed. The conscious change of specific words might just innitiate the shift some

people yearn for. The future will tell.

Agreed. It was a good read, but that undermined itself.

Yes. I thought some really valid points were raised here only to be dashed by the ‘misandry isn’t real’ bit.

Basically someone with a gender studies or something degree made another reply, saying none of that history matters, all that matters is 1/?
theyar
is how the words make people feel today. And then someone else responded that they were both wrong, the original graphic nothing more 2/?
theyar
than meaningless visual word puns, they didn't need a historical refutation, but that also doesn't mean we need to use them to invent 3/?
theyar
sexism in language, because there are plenty of real examples of it already, in the way words like "bitch" evolved. Which is true. The 4/?
theyar
only piece missing is the obligatory nod to men here, in that there are a lot of words that have evolved in ways that demonstrate sexist 5/?

cosine83
Stating a line a facts and then a very small, unrelated opinion doesn't destroy academic credibility. Your butthurt does.
Jusmar
Identity politics was the core motive to the original post. The marginalization was not unrelated.
cosine83
The original post dropping "misandry" was fatuous at best. It was out of place because dude was butthurt about patriarchy.
GodEmperorOfImgur
But there was no patriarchy in this case. If you ascribe patriarchy to something that clearly is not patriarchy, is that not mild misandry?
Jusmar
This is akin to a climate scientist listing facts about weather patterns, then saying hurricanes are not worse.
cosine83
No, it's not. It's like a climate scientist stating facts then saying shampoo is better than conditioner.
