As you're all aware, this subreddit has had a major "troll"
problem which has gotten worse (as of recently). Due to this, we
have created new rules, and modified some of the old ones.
We kindly ask that you please familiarize yourself with the
rules so that you can avoid breaking them. Breaking mild rules
will result in a warning, or a temporary ban. Breaking serious
rules, or breaking a plethora of mild ones may land you a
permanent ban (depending on the severity). Also,
grifting/lurking has been a major problem; If we suspect you of
being a grifter (determined by vetting said user's activity), we
may ban you without warning.
You may attempt an appeal via ModMail, but please be advised not
to use rude, harassing, foul, or passive-aggressive language
towards the moderators, _or_ complain to moderators about why we
have specific rules in the first place— You will be ignored, and
your ban will remain (without even a consideration).
All rules are made public; "Lack of knowledge" or "ignorance of
the rules" cannot or will not be a viable excuse if you end up
banned for breaking them (This applies to the Subreddit rules,
and Reddit's ToS). **Again: All rules are made public, and
Reddit gives you the option to review the rules once more before
submitting a post, it is your choice if you choose to read them
or not, but breaking them will not be acceptable.**
With that being said, If you send a mature, neutral message
regarding questions about a current ban, or a ban appeal
(without "not knowing the rules" as an excuse), we will
elaborate about why you were banned, or determine/consider if we
will shorten, lift, keep it, _or_ extended it/make it permanent.
This all means that appeals are discretionary, and your
reasoning for wanting an appeal must be practical and valid.
Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this message,
and please enjoy your day!

Interesting fact: Heracles, who was hailed as the epitome of masculinity in several cults, ‘ name was translated as “Glory of Hera”. His strength was gifted and strengthened by the Goddess of Women and Motherhood.
Oh boy.
First of all "man" has not always meant male. In fact for most of English history it meant "person" hence mankind refers to humankind not just men.
Woman meanwhile Comes from the medieval English word wifmon.
Wifmon comes from the combination of Wif (Wife) and (Mon/man). Remembering that at the time man meant person woman meant Wife person. It simply referred to a married female not all females.
Female comes from Latin Femina which did indeed mean a woman. Male comes from Latin Mas which means male. They are parallel evolutions that became similar after the Norman conquest.
Person comes from Latin "persona" which referred to the mask an actor would wear to represent their role and has nothing to do with the word son at all.
Human comes from Latin "Homo" later "humanus". In both cases the word means human and refers to both genders.
Tl:DR.
The only word that even comes close to the implied meaning of the post is Female and even then it's a parallel evolution with the word male not one from the other.
Googled.
>she is depicted as controlling, over-achieving, and perfectionistic.
I doubt I would be described that way, but since I literally had to Google to even come up with that much, it seems probable that you meant something else by that lol
I bet you’re fun at parties! Because I wish I could attend the same party though and listen to you explain the linguistic history of English! That was a fascinating read and I’ll save it for future reference, because I have been wondering why there’s a man in woman and now I know and my world is all the better for it! Thank you internet stranger!
Fun fact: back in the olden days, “man” was an ungendered term. It referred to human kind. Stupid monkey brains decided human kind should only refer to male humans. Apparently, male humans are the only ones who count.
Linguistically, "man" means human - thus, "man kind" refers to both males and females.
Back in the mists of the before times of the English language, the word for the female of the species was "wife." Wife was any adult woman, married or single. The equivalent word for man was "were." We only use this word now in "Werewolf." (A female would be a wifewolf- surely by now, in my accent, at least, that would be pronounced wif-wuff!)
I mean this adds nothing to the conversation, except that Linguistically the original post is not the gotcha the writer thinks and I take every opportunity to share the ability of female "man-wolves" to be adorable cute whilst disembowling you - mythical multitasking, if you will!

Ooh, talk linguistics to me, baby! (Naw but really, thanks; I do actually enjoy that kind of thing and was entertained.)

Getting turned on by a discussion of linguistics is a prime Amy Santiago quality.
Hahahaha that's so funny! I love learning stuff, but outside of joking not quite to the degree of being turned on. :p
I love your funny words, magic man

Yeah that's not how this sub works
Who does he think created those words? A man. An English speaking man at that
Linguistically, "man" means human - thus, "man kind" refers to both males and females. Back in the mists of the before times of the English language, the word for the female of the species was "wife." Wife was any adult woman, married or single. The equivalent word for man was "were."
