"biological man" and "biological woman" are just a transphobic dogwhistle and misgendering with extra steps

if you're on HRT your body works largely the same way a cis person with the same hormones would

I prefer asymmetrical women.

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.

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 53 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

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

[–] Pipster@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 weeks ago

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

Woman of mass destruction

My sister in law

Woman of ass destruction.

Pegging

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 11 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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.

Some people do wear you down.

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

[–] agentshags@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago

I hope they at least change on laundry day!

[–] Prikkeres@feddit.nl 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I’d identify as a ballistic woman.

you have a large mass and move at high speeds?

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

It's not the mass, it's the curvature of the curve they are undertaking ...
(I'm guessing, not trying to speak for them)

Women of conquest.

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 3 weeks ago (3 children)

There needs to be more women of mass destruction.

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 3 weeks ago

Ranged Women and Martial Women too

[–] Pman@lemmy.org 4 points 3 weeks ago

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