minus-squarekibblebits@quokk.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 days agoI don’t think the modern definition is clear at all. Which is why we are here. I think the word should be decommissioned, as well as the concept of any gender treating any other gender differently than they would treat their own. If someone asks, “how should a man treat a woman?” The answer should always be, “like a man would treat a man.” Maybe I’m just too damn chivalrous. ;)
