woman human hey man. i call girls dude, man. and they sometimes they freak out, and i simply try to explain how man is just short for saying human dosent necessarily have anything to do with the fact ur a woman, just the fact that your a human. man. do u get mad when people do that to u?
lol. i've never even thought about this. while i recognise the inherent strength and equality of all people, i've never taken words as seriously as some have. i call guys dudes and girls chicks. i call girls brother actually, because sister just doesn't have the same feel to it. i'd be glad to explain what i mean to anyone who asked, but so far no one's been perturbed.
So, if I called a table full of males women, could I fluff it by saying the term involves all human beings? Since MEN is in the word?
if it offends them then maybe think twice about fluffing it, unless it involves sex afterwards, or you may be in trouble.
No, because 'woman' is not a cultural expression. Saying 'hey, man!' implies indignance, usually feigned, and the expression has come to be directed at anyone, not just men. It's not said in an attempt to be inappropriate to the situation, as calling a table full of men women would be.
i make gender distinctions--like dudettes but---man--depends on the situation--all friends or openminded people its cool--but your always going to run into problems wit stick up their ass bitches--"im not a man" lol---Peace
