Bigots referring to "Normal" women implies the existence of Fire/Psychic/Dark/Null, etc type women.

[–] P00ptart 29 points 2 months ago

I like my women like I like my pokemon dragon/dark.

Side note, what is a PC word for "straight" that isn't overly academic for a child?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Straight. Or non-gay, cis, heterosexual? It's only clinical if you treat it that way...

Nuclear Woman

I take great pride in knowing my great grandmother was one.

Part of the easter uprising against the British in Ireland.

Do not underestimate the ferocity of a woman in times of war. (Or ever)

On the day of the Rising, Cumann na mBan members, including Winifred Carney, who arrived armed with both a Webley revolver and a typewriter, entered the General Post Office on O'Connell Street in Dublin with their male counterparts. By nightfall, women insurgents were established in all the major rebel strongholds throughout the city except Boland's Mill and the South Dublin Union held by Éamon de Valera and Eamonn Ceannt.

I wonder what nuclear women decay into, also does their gender radiation change the gender of people around them?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

No, but it causes alpha particles to be emitted.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Even after they decay a few times, they're still nuclear women. They can also emit alpha women, which are fairly small but still nuclear women, betas, which are not fully women, and gammas, which are also not women, but eventually interact with other nuclear women.

Gender theory is much more complex than I thought

Can confirm, my partner is a psychological woman.

...by which I mean that she has a master's degree in psychology, not that she's combative 😄

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A useful skill to learn in case you need assistance.

[–] Viking_Hippie 5 points 2 months ago

Thanks, but she's really the most empathetic, perceptive, and supportive person I've ever met and she's not here to coerce me into saying so 😄🥰

That's a wild line of extrapolation.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 2 months ago (1 children)

wild lines of extrapolation imply a domesticated line of extrapolation

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And wild curves of extrapolation, and wild planes of extrapolation, and wild queues of extrapolation, and...

[–] problematicPanther 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wild planes of extrapolation imply wild rotorcraft of extrapolation

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

All those "x extrapolations" imply their dual "x interpolations".

Women of mass destruction.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Better give them up now before someone invades.

[–] FoolishObserver 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Lights out! Guerrilla Women! Turn that shit up!!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Thanks, now I have to listen to it

[–] Shardikprime 14 points 2 months ago

Right, as we all know, nuclear women are a staple of the nuclear family

[–] Tylerdurdon 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I met a guerilla woman once. I...I don't want to talk about it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] Tylerdurdon 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I said I don't want to talk about it!

Then call me M1A1 Abrams because I'm protected against all CBRN, conventional, and guerrilla threats

[–] Viking_Hippie 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

But vulnerable to psychological attacks?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Keep summer safe

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] Viking_Hippie 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not many people know that the most effective strategies against the Abrams are pointed sarcasm and social exclusion.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hopefully they install some countermeasures in future upgrades

Inorganic women. Hell yeah.

[–] Limonene 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Electronic women, giant mech women, women reenactments...

Space women?

[–] P00ptart 7 points 2 months ago

Cyber women (obviously), economic women, class women,

[–] Dasnap 9 points 2 months ago

There are plenty of gorilla women on Fur Affinity.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Is that the same for biological parents?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Drone women? That makes my head hurt

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Or tricycle gear women.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Would this also imply the existence of a nuclear or tactical Karen?

[–] vonxylofon 4 points 2 months ago

I've definitely met my share of nuclear Karens.
