Well, he didn't say persuasion, at least...
What
Ladies wasn't used in the Original Post.
When playing a RPG of some sort, sometimes they give you the ability to reallocate all your talent points in a different way. Such as switching from melee focused to something magic oriented like a wizard or a witch. This is called a Respec, short for Re-specialization.
Respec sounds very similar to Respect. The Original Post is about respecting women.
I appreciate your interest in my comment, hope you have a nice day. Take care.
Thank you for your thorough explanation, I now understand the joke and will react accordingly:
"Heh, that's pretty good."
Agreed
I've never noticed that a ferengi head kinda looks like he's wearing a fedora already.
They wore them so long they fused into their heads.

Is this why they always ask how to define "woman"?
If someone asks you to a define a women, chances are they never met one in real life.
So much cultural imperialism in here.
Once US-Americans decide how they want a word used, they will harrass and cyber-bully everyone into using it the same way / using the same word
Boys, you need to realize that english isn't "your" language. You don't get to decide how others speak it.
It's everyone's language, everyone can bully each other over it. The Brits added u to a bunch of words just to fuck with us..and then misspelled tire. Just last week heard an upper class indian with more British roots give a more Americanized indian man shit for spelling it tire rather than tyre, with zero knowledge of the history.
On the whole I think English speakers are relatively polite about misunderstood words in person, even relatively racist asshats. But when you can't read the accent, you default to your own culture and in that culture it's pronounced to rhyme with tamales.
My brother in christ, the british spelling is the original.
The reason you spell it differently was a conscious decision of your revolutionaries to differentiate themselves from the brits
You used the same spelling before your independence.
And how about "noone can bully" instead of "everyone can bully"?
Just throwing tht in the room here.
I won't bully you for writing "recognise" just to assert your independence, you let us be us and everyone is happy, is tht a Deal?
No, it's not, go learn history. Its a mix and match on both sides usually because spelling wasn't standard anyway. Webster picked ones he liked, mostly to feel superior to Brits, Brits picked the opposite to feel superior to americans. We have the legacy accent, uk has the posh accent to sound different. We did simplify some words, Brits complexified others to be more posh.
The british spelling comes from the conquest of the duke of normandy and was already being standardized before your independence.
This is again such a us-centric way of thinking.
"We are so important the british chnged their entire language just to spite us"
I really don't want to be rude when I say this, but I can't find any better qords: please get out of your bubble. This US-centrism really annoys others.
And don't tell people to "go learn history". It's just bloody rude, even if you would have been right.
No, they want to be called LA class nuclear powered attack submarine.
We're in shit posting after all.
Happy Xmas, ya filthy animal!

In most contexts, you’d just say…”people”.
Or, if you’re actually trying to make a demographic-wide statement, like how women aren’t good at video games, you’d just say:
“IGNORE ME, I AN A SEXIST MORON.”
Basically, the meme isn’t much meant for the word choice, it’s how often incels have statements to make on half the population.
Sexism is a helluva drug.
You remember how everyone just used to say women 10-20 years ago? I guess that's woke now. So much for conserving.
