Etymologically, "woman" comes from "wife man" from the time when "wife" meant "woman" and "man" meant "human".

It is telling that the general term for the species became the word for "male human" and the general term for female humans became the term for a "woman married to someone".

The Finnish word for woman, "nainen" is derived from the same root as the verb "naida," which is to marry (can also be used to mean to fuck)

"Finnish has no grammatical gender and is therefore not sexist."

Also Finnish:

So "fuck, marry, kill" should say "fuck, fuck, kill?" surprised-pika

Fuck is also derived from "to hit", meaning that "fuck, fuck, fuck" is also valid.

That's all right, Redditor. The Drej Queen doesn't want to be associated with men, either.

She's even getting tired of Bill Pullman's shit.

[-] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

That's it I'm using wyfman and wereman from old English to refer to the female and male of the species of man.
