Not to be "that guy" but I think they are mixing their metaphors here. "Biological weapon" is the comparison they're making, not "biological war" which isn't something I think exists,

So examples like "chemical woman", "woman of mass destruction" work, whereas "total woman" or "guerrilla woman" do not.

I was thinking "biological warfare". Which still doesn't fit all the references, but I'll write it off as "artistic liberty"

[–] Klear@quokk.au 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

But that would imply scientific liberty, engineering liberty and, worst of all, AI slop liberty.

Warfare of attrition? Warfare of mass distruction? There are, I guess, ways to say those things properly, but these aren't them.

I assumed it was "warfare," and for that every example works

"Biological warfare" does in fact exist, and can be compared to "guerrilla warfare" and perhaps "total war" as a type of warfare as a slight stretch.

[–] ieGod@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago

Ah, a shit post enjoyer of refined taste I see.

[–] Pipster@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago

I dunno, referring to somebody as a "total weapon" is very valid here

[–] silver@das-eck.haus 4 points 1 month ago

It's warfare. The only one that doesn't fit is "of mass destruction"

Woman of mass destruction

My sister in law

Woman of ass destruction.

Pegging

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 11 points 1 month ago

I think my sister in law probably still qualifies if I know my brother …

this use of the term "biological" is stupid

hrt and surgery are both most certainly "biological"

OOP: warfare
OC1: war and warfare
OC2: weapons

It's not the same and it irks me. Thanks.

[–] CptBread@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Agreed, though for me I'm fine with adding war, it's close enough to warfare.

I think it actually implies the existence of mechanical women, aerodynamic women, thermodynamic women, ceramic women and computer women.

I've studied womanfare on the frontlines. I can tell you that women never change.

[–] agentshags@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

I hope they at least change on laundry day!

[–] Prikkeres@feddit.nl 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I’d identify as a ballistic woman.

Forever women. World women I and II. The cold women. The women in heaven. Asymmetric women. Women games. I could go on.

[–] MolochHorridus@piefed.social 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

There needs to be more women of mass destruction.

I declare a thumb Woman

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

What of the Mother Of All Women??

the only time that the concept of "biological woman" matters is when you want to make children. every other time it just plainly doesn't matter.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago

Ranged Women and Martial Women too

[–] Pman@lemmy.org 4 points 1 month ago

There's also trade women, and economic women for less destructive solutions.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Most of the women I've encountered in life seem to be engaged in a long-term siege. No breeching those walls.

BTW, they won't respond to slapping them with your "cannon balls." Just saving you the futile attempt.
