Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

He says "a female", then "a guy".

No wonder they're laughing. This guy's a joke.

Anytime they say female, but don't specify the species, you get to pick.

...he's talking about two different drivers.

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

We are all aware. The terminology used for the two different drivers is the problem. You don't call a woman a female, that's insulting. He had no problem to call a guy a guy, no "male" or such. It makes him sound like a misogynistic asshole.

...oh boy. I'm guessing you call women females if you missed that one.
