More like he needs to know when to take a break when she’s most fertile so they can procreate. He’s already gone by the time she’s having “her time of the month”

We’ve come a long way from my French class showing me episodes of French in Action on PBS.

Oh Mireille, we will never find each other and kindle our romance. Curse you, Robert!

I keep track of my girlfriend’s ovulation because she can’t be bothered to do it. I don’t want her to get pregnant either. Just pointing that out.

ChexMax ,

I hear you but it’s far more likely for a woman to track her own period than for a nearby man to track it. You’re the reason this professor felt the need to give this example. Because men assume all progress and intellectual pursuits were obviously sought by men. You guys think it’s the automatic default, and even the suggestion that a woman might have accomplished something is met with, “hey! It could have been a man!”

crapwittyname ,

There’s some faulty reasoning here.
Parent comment challenges the assumption that the marks were made by a female, and you say “you’re the reason the professor felt the need to give this example”, although the example was given in order to challenge assumptions of gender.
OP is actually learning from the example if anything, since they are challenging gender assumptions.
On top of that, your use of “you guys”, and your generalisations about men are evidence of the exact type of biased thinking this example is trying to challenge.

It occurs to me that the solution might be to start referring to men as “wermen” again, and revert “men” to it’s gender neutral roots. That also means we can have a bunch of other prefixes for other genders.

Languages are fun.

TIMMAY ,

just lean all the way in and call us vermin

Ultraviolet ,

That’s also where the “were” prefix in werewolf comes from.

bob_lemon ,

Does that mean female werewolves should be called wowolves? (Or even better, woowolves)

Ultraviolet ,

Wifwolves, unfortunately.

I’m not an entomologist.

blawsybogsy ,

“Entomology (from Ancient Greek entomon ‘insect’, and -logia ‘study’)[1] is the scientific study of insects, a branch of zoology. In the past the term insect was less specific, and historically the definition of entomology would also include the study of animals in other arthropod groups, such as arachnids, myriapods, and crustaceans. This wider meaning may still be encountered in informal use.”

huf ,

pff nah, entomologists are experts at entoming people. you know, like putting them in a tom underground. dead. like that cara loft lady.

blawsybogsy ,

i need to branch out with my sources

milicent_bystandr ,
hessenjunge ,

Scholars seem to agree it stems from Proto-Indo-European, so Latin is not the source.
