My strongest moments of meat eater guilt are in fact about not finishing all the meat that an animal was killed for.
-
@puzzlement the contrast was all of the short terms for women seem likely to be taken as inoffensive, while none of the male ones would
-
@puzzlement i'd be surprised if "gals" worked much better than "chicks", but you never know. sad that i missed "dolls" vs "guys" too.
-
@ajtowns "the short terms for women seem likely to be taken as [offensive?]": yes, that is Wikipedia's point too.
-
@puzzlement yeah, that. but without /some/ inoffensive nickname, you either get to be offended or not talked about as much, aka ignored...
-
@puzzlement as a gent, it also gets a bit hard to support fem-groups when the only men that get talked about are the villains :-/ *shrug*
-
@ajtowns - linuxchix tends to applaud the dudes that do the right thing... we call em allies ;)
-
@ajtowns There are moves towards more highlighting of allies, as it happens.
-
@ajtowns In the meantime, if it makes it any better, it's hard to be a woman when only the bitches who won't sleep with men get talked about
-
@ajtowns And incidentally, I neither said, nor meant, that it was *men* calling women "girls". I said "people" for a reason.
-
@puzzlement didn't mean to imply that you had; just a thought that crosses my mind when skimming femgeek sites. hrd2avoidmsntrptnsin140c

@ajtowns Yeah conversations in 140 char chunks suck.
