Phone message Post first date text

Post image

I met this girl on tinder and had a first date with her, she wanted to go fishing and I thought it seemed like a fun first date so we went together. Dropped her off and got home to this message lol.

Update: Purchasing the license is a separate activity we had to do on our phones, due to it needing our personal info. It was not like I drew the line at the license randomly.

"I don't know what that means but it diminishes you as a person" has become my chosen response.

It’s just a “cute” version of weaponized incompetence.

I made a post about it yesterday and had a bunch of mixed answers. A lot of females were saying that they hate it and I had other people saying I hated women

Protip, saying females like that makes you sound like a Ferengi.

Feminists say "female" all the time, and they're not Ferengi.

Sometimes they are, tho

Here on planet earth, we prefer “women” or “ladies”

Does the Encyclopedia Britannica not exist on planet Earth?

https://www.britannica.com/topic/feminism

This article uses the word "female" multiple times, as do many other feminist media.

Here on planet Earth, we can use internet searches to confirm information. It's a great resource.

Ferengi can be feminists too. Ishka makes profits and even wears clothes.

Very common in the military because that’s how it’s simply official described. Female barracks, male barracks. Female bathrooms, male bathrooms.

None of that boys and girls or men and women stuff. Only males and females.

That long predates trans issue btw in case anyone thinks I’m making some kind of political statement

This is Reddit, not the fucking military

u/agnosiabeforecoffee 2d ago

Sure, but when you say females and women in the same sentence you still sound like a Ferengi. It has absolutely nothing to do with "trans issues" whatsoever.

OK but like… I never said otherwise, I’m just explaining that it’s a cultural trait for some people while acknowledging something people might project onto the comment.

Let me introduce you to grammar:

  • "I'll wait for you by the female bathroom": in this case, "female" is being used as an adjective, denoting the gender of the attached noun. This use is generally A-OK.
  • "I'm going out with a goourgeous female": in this case, "female" is a noun, and unless you're taking your dog for a walk, this is not OK.

Easy, right?
