    What's with the spelling of "women" as "wymyn" or other variations?


    The spelling woman, or if plural,women,is the correct manner of spelling it.It's not some misogynist plot to demean women by having the word "man" or "men" in the word that refers to the female gender.Deciding to spell it "wymyn" is ridiculous and childish,not to mention unrealistic.

    In English most female words have a male base, as is the case with the two italicised words in this sentence. Other examples include she and actress. The only case of a word with a female base upon which a male word is built is widow, from which we get widower. How interesting, eh?

    Interesting. So what's the origin of 'bitch'?

    As I understand it, the word 'woman' means 'of man', based on the biblical story of how Eve was made 'of' Adam's rib. This ancient legend is of course offensive to feminits despite the fact that the Bible is God's word, and God is a woman!

    But I digress. The feminits simply had to change the word 'woman' and so we now have several variations: 'womyn', 'wimmin', 'wymyn' and possibly others. There are several spellings because they're feminits and don't really know what they want and can't make up their minds, except to agree that the syllables 'man' and 'men' had to be eradicated. They could have made an entirely new word, but then no one would know what they were on about. Not that most people do anyway.

    Talking of widows, here's an interesting one. Britain's worst recorded serial killer was apparently a woman (according to this bloke who's trying to sell his book ;-):

    The word “Woman” means “Taken out of man” it comes from the book of Genesis, most feminists hate God, they are Anti-Christ.
    God kept His word and sent His Prophet in this day.

    Judgement is coming, time is fast running out !!!

    Do you know where you stand with God ?

    I thought it was Just a way of refering to a nasty woman as a dog.

    But over time the pure gusto of the word bitch has taken on a particular feminine type of repugnance to the callous narcissist that is so feminine. It’s male equivalent being basted, but increasingly bastard is spoken freely whilst bitch has become a symbol of unacceptable hate speech because of the Femi-PC that dictates present culture.

    I think you’ll find that Britain's worst recorded serial killer was Harold Shipman, a doctor who took it upon himself to decide that certain people were too old or decrepit for his liking to live. I thought they stopped counting after 130 murdered victims, but apparently Wikipedia says it was 218.

    Yeah sorry, I meant to type 'first' but by the time I'd realised the error I was unable to edit it. But when you consider that this woman apparently murdered her own infant children, perhaps she was the 'worst'.

    Certainly, Shipman may have had some sort of deranged view to play God, but Mary Ann Cotton by any definition I understand, was a horrendous bitch to indulge her twisted ego in killing her children.

    True, but it uses 'man' as 'human', not male human specifically. If anything, it's men who should be complaining because we're actually ignored. When we say 'mankind' we're talking all humans - when we say 'woman' we're talking specifically female humans - when we say 'man' we're again talking all humans. By origins, men as in human-males do not have a means of talking about male humans only, unlike women.

    The most offensive thing you can do to a feminist is treat her with FULL equality.
    Wife : "I dreamt they were auctioning off dicks. The big ones went for ten dollars and the thick ones went for twenty dollars."
    Husband : "How about the ones like mine?"
    Wife : "Those they gave away."
    Husband : "I had a dream too...I dreamt they were auctioning off pussy. The pretty ones went for a thousand dollars, and the little tight ones went for two thousand."
    Wife : "And how much for the ones like mine?"
    Husband : "That's where they held the auction."
