The Talkhaus Talk House Thread

[Doctor Shemp]

Usually female, when used as a noun, refers to the sex of nonhuman animals. Try using "woman" instead. hth

What about if you're also referring to girls (i.e. younger people) though? "Female" encompasses all ages.

Could ladies work? Cause that's what I use.

I have yet to meet a man who can say the word "ladies" without it sounding really creepy.

Also cats why do you have Facebook friends with the middle names "BboyNightmare" and "Based"? What else would you expect?

[Saturn Moriya]

Women primarily exist to carry boobs anyway, why can't we call them something that sounds like we're treating them like objects?

edit: Just to be sure, SARCASM PLEASE DON'T REACT

Fucking 14-year olds.

Note: not a verb.

Considering male and female are used for animals I'm surprised some people are still confused whether or not it's acceptable to use it for humans

Very official sounding statement there. Both words have been used for humans historically and most dictionaries specify humans in the definition.

I have never in my entire life until now heard anybody complain about using the words male and female for people or indicate it was wrong or odd in any way so i am so confused by this whole conversation

i never really thought about any distinction between the questions "are you a male or a female" and "are you male or female", it just makes more sense to use the latter one because it flows better and is shorter

i dont get this conversation at all, and i guess some people might hate me for this but i really just, have never heard of this at all

^pretty much how I feel right now. Like, it really makes me feel awkward because I don't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable, but these kinds of situations make me feel like I don't have a grasp on what to say and not to say anymore.

I've only heard of this "female" thing recently. I understand how it could be used disrespectfully in some contexts, but it's been blown out of proportion. It can either be a positive, neutral, or negative identity, and feminist of all people made it some more negative than it ever was before.

It's a political tacit to redefine language. I prefer to use language as a method of understand between people.

It's a pretty bad thing that it has come to this point. If people are afraid to speak out of fear of offending someone then very little progress can be made. It's pretty much makes some groups of people impossible to approach with honest questions. However, some people will discover innovated ways to be offended making the situation worst.

It happens all the time in third person. This is a matter of daily conversation.

Do you mean a second person usage like: "Hey you, male!" It's pretty rare although I'm surprise you can't think any times.

I can think of a time female(s) was used in second person in my life, and that was Basic Military Training. The trainees were never shown any respect, and both the male and female MTIs(Drill Sargents) used female(s) in such a manner to call out trainees. Male trainees were the majority(75%) so I don't recall male(s) being used in the same way. MTIs never used actual slurs specific to a group in my memory.

the military... that's that place where they treat people as commodities, right?

[Septentrion Pleiades]

That's employment in general.

According to Doctor Shemp, just look at businesses in general. Human Resources, indeed.

Sept IS an expert when it comes to treating women as objects so I'll trust him on this.

Good job keeping this up. You only have to repeat it three more times until this is truth.

Yeah, everyone knows it's a verb! Now excuse me while I go female.

death to women

Man the ideal woman should be 2/3 boobs amiright. Also the user that chose all of my forms wants you all to know what he pleasures himself to because it's the defining characteristic that he wants to use to represent him to other human beings on the internet because he's a classy guy that isn't creeptastic and weird at all.

That's a lie, avatars can't talk.
Also it's not very nice to assume things based on users avatars.

I ate an apple last week.

There is nothing better than a good old family day. Going to a lake is refreshig, especially when it is hot like this.

[Lunikyuu]

I just noticed we passed our 12345th post a while ago and no one celebrated. I feel like this is an injustice.

Happy nth post!

[Leet]

man im so tired of things being messy

my laptop and ds both apparently have uncleanable smudges (tiny scratches?) for some reason, my glasses seemingly wont clean themselves entirely no matter what, ugh i cant look at anything it just ruins everything i want to look at on a screen cause bleh

nothing i can do about it either besides buying new stuff and thats feasible with the ds but not the laptop

[Bean]

Long days, short nights, and it's only because I'm having issues staying asleep lately.

A woman should spend 3 hours doing her hair and make-up before she is presentable to public eyes. It's okay because it's cultural and Japan is the best nation.

Any women with boobs is automatically an object. Am I doing a good job Feminism?

What the hell am I eating?

hi.
