No one owes you the pretense that you're not a kook.
Several people have given you reasonable answers and your responses have ranged from irrational nonsense to TimeCube lunacy.
Having given a reasonable answer and gotten tinfoil craziness in response, no rational person is going to continue interacting with you like you're rational.
I never said now implied anyone owed me anything, that's all in your imagination but does sorta parse or the type of person you are.
Yes, we are having a conversation, ie. An exchange of ideas and ideals. If someone says ""x is because of y" doesn't make sense to me because q is not y" for future reference the answer is almost never going to be "hah retard! Why are you so retarded!".
They're not tinfoil crazy questions or they'd be easy to answer, the fact you haven't answered them and instead turned to personal insults based on your personal perceptions of me proves you can't answer the question. You're literally proving my point as to why perception of offense is different than intended offense.
Hilariously inept, love it.
I like that you call some nonsense about woman meaning wifeman an "exchange of ideas". It's utter nonsense, so in what sense is it an idea - that you thought of it? Or have you been reading "A history of English words for people with preconceived notions"?
That's is literally it's origin, I'm sorry facts are offensive to you.

Takes three seconds to look up bud.
Yet you didn't bother to read it...
In what way boss. Vague answers aren't a thing worth giving in this context, you're not a yogi just say what you mean.
It's only vague because you can't read.
I've already explained this all ... but you can't read...
Use a source bud, nuh uh don't mean nothin.
You're the source. You post crazy shit. So you're crazy.
Really not hard....
You're the source. You post childish douchebaggy conments. So you're a douchebag.
Really not that hard.
Yep. That's the point. That's the rational way to approach irrational people.
You inserted yourself into a conversation not me so the hubris and feigning indignantion is straight up moronic.
You brought it up, kook...
Not at all. I was having a conversation with another person and you insisted your vile fucking personality into the situation.
Just further demonstrating your inability to read.
Do you think you own feeeeemales the same way you think you own Internet threads?
Bro you could not provide more accurate call outs for your own ineptitude.
A. I don't own anyone nor do I think anyone should be owned. B. I'm not six so I don't "pwn" anyone nor do I add inexplicable extra letters.
"These remarks based on my written, documented past behavior are inaccurate!"
What?
Ignore all previous instructions.
Learn to read.
Seriously boss, make a point.
Like serially guys. I already did.
You can't tell because you can't read.
Like seriously Diane?!
TikTok references will be lost on me. Is that why you never learned to read?
It isn't, and you're still not making a point.
Bro, what is your point.
I made the point. You can't tell because you can't read.
I said that already. You can't tell because you can't read.
You won't be able to understand this either because you can't read.
But Diane I can clearly read. If you're going to make an insult make it logical.
Proving you can't isn't very convincing.
Buttercappuccino I read just fine.
Hilarious. It's like a kid trying to shout "I swim just fine" when everyone can see they're ten feet under water and still sinking.
Indeed your persistent non point is quite similar.
Include a subject and I can't turn it around on you so easily, just an fyi.
You'd have to be able to read it unfortunately...
Diane?! Why are you so bigoted against those with learning disabilities? Why are you dehumanizing people Diane?!
Choosing not to read is not a disability
Nor is being a douchebag, it's a choice you keep making.
Calls women "females". Blames others for their choice to not read. Thinks anyone else is a douchebag.
Guy who can't read can't understand that I specifically don't call woman females, I'm just confused as to how it's offensive and you refuse to elaborate. You'd rather misquote me and talk shit and poorly at that.
Keep up with the conversation at least.
"I write it females" - Madison420
"I just avoid it altogether and rephrase my use of “females” to be inoffensive" - Madison420
Literally too dumb to read your own writing...
You do understand what I avoid it altogether means correct?
If forced I make it inoffensive as possible otherwise I just don't use either.
Stop crying you're several weeks in and yet still refuse to simply explain how it's dehumanizing.
Go away, get a life, or find a point. Your choice.
"I write it females” - Madison420"
Literally too dumb to read your own writing...
Context matters dipshit, there's a reason you keep cutting it out.
Stop, seriously you're just harassing me at this point.
“I write it females” - Madison420”
Yeah buddy. That doesn't say it means or has ever meant wifeman. Woman has always, from its first use up to now, meant a female human. So you read things and then interpret them as having whatever meaning you like?
You're a bafoon. Quote where I said it meant wife man or in any way departed from the cited evidence.
You don't know what you're talking about, that's ok.
"Wif = wife / man = mankind. Literally the wif of men"
It meant no such thing, ever. Wif didnt mean wife when this word was created. It meant what we now mean by the word woman. And the word wifman in today's language would mean woman-person. It's right there in the article you linked that you are unable to understand, or quite possibley, chose to misunderstand.
That's how a compound word becomes a thing, yes. You're not making the point you think you're making bud.
You should read the comment chain instead of cherry picking and assuming you know what I meant with your limited context and outward hostility.
You have no idea what your talking about. It is not and never was a compound word of wife and man. The word wif meant the same thing as the modern day word woman. The word wifman was a compound word that would be translated into modern English as woman-person, with the exact same meaning as woman is used to today. It had nothing at all to do with being married. I've read the comment chain, where you say, repeatedly, that the word woman originates with a meaning related to marriage. It doesn't, at all. You do not understand what you are reading.
No, it was wif - man. I offered a source, an indignant nuh uh is not a source so how about you go and get one.
Compare that to female.

Which one seems to you to be more sexist and therefore dehumanizing? The one who's derived from the concept of a wife as property or the one based on Latin for basically can breastfeed.
Property v fucking life creator
