      Thinking the exact same thing. Wouldn’t be surprised if he already isn’t allowed within 50 miles of a school.

    the arguably cooler sounding “Spinster”

    You spin me right round, baby, right round…

      Wasn’t spinster some old school slang in like the 1920s or something about women who didn’t settle down right away? Or am I hallucinating

        Yes, and well before that too. It meant an unmarried adult woman over the age of _____. (Here is where the discrepancy lies.) It was always true for an elderly woman. But could sometimes be applied all the way down to age 30, especially if you go far enough back that you were expected to be married in your 20s. (And if you weren’t, there must be something wrong with you.)

          My great grandmother’s wedding certificate lists her as a spinster, at the ripe old age of 19. This was a little over 100 years ago, in 1914

          Well I’m unmarried, female and in my mid thirties and there’s definitely something wrong with me. I now identify as a spinster.

        It’s quite a bit older than that. 1800s, I believe? A “spinster” was a women who got a job spinning/weaving fabric, which was one of the few jobs women were allowed at the time, and they were paid for it! Very well, iirc.

        So a woman earning her own income and able to support herself, not being required to marry in order to live comfortably.

    When does one become a crone? Or is that for specifically when you forsake society to live in the wilds?

    I hate how there’s always some bizarre new term people are using for weird and bad reasons. “Foid”. I can guess it’s some weird demeaning term for women but still what the fucking fuck.

    People misspelling ‘woman’ annoys the hell out of me. It’s literally ‘man’ prefixed by ‘wo’. I don’t know what bizarre process could lead to using ‘women’ instead. And it’s nearly always these Andrew-Tate-loving pound shop alphas.

      That and “should of” should be punishable by getting your hand cut off.

      The difference is that one is singular and one is plural. “Theres a group of women” and “Theres a singlular woman”

      People do often get the usage wrong but its not being misspelled.

      This type of thing sometimes happens to me when I’m writing a comment on my phone. The using a wrong version of a word, not the rampant misogyny. Its usually from changing how I wanted to structure the sentence, like changing tense or deciding to make something singular or plural, and not noticing that I missed updating one of the words.

      I recall a particular time period in early-ish smartphone history when the stupid thing tried to correct every instance of woman in my emails to “roman” for some weird reason so that one might just be auto-correct gone stupid again.

      Nah, it’s not that deep–tons of men and women make this particular mistake (writing “women” when intending to use the singular “woman”) for some bizarre reason. I’ve observed this phenomenon for well over a decade. Notably, I’ve never really seen someone write “woman” when they mean “women”, only the other direction. And never with man/men at all. Very odd, specific error.

      Maybe it’s a “should of”-type mistake, I can only guess. But what I know for sure is that it’s a very common mistake, and almost certainly unintentional.
