When someone calls you "woman"

QueenJayJay

Ladies, do you get annoyed? Also, do you find yourself politely saying, "Hi" to the older ladies, and then "How you doin'?" to the younger ones? :flip:

I know!!!!!! When someone calls me "woman", I get SO mad! Hell, even at the older ones. Can YOU see in my pants, do YOU know for a fact that I am a woman. I swear it makes me want to kick them all in the teeth! :flip:

Seriously!!! It really burns me up that someone would generalize me in that way. I want to say, "Hey girl, I'm not your woman!" :flip:

It infuriates me like no other :mad:

Don't even get me started on being called, "lady" though. :grumble:

No lol My boyfriend calls me woman all the time, it's usually followed by "make me a sandwich" or "do the laundry". :laugh: It's a joke to us though. When I was bar tending I had a few guys get mad at me and call me woman, but it didn't annoy me. It's better than c**t, another word I don't mind being called. They're just words, they only matter when we give them meaning. For example "Death do us part" obviously has lost all of the meaning it once had. lol To the greeting thing, I always say hello to people, not hi or hey. If I'm online and sending emails I use hey or hi, but I've always been in the customer service industry, hello is more appropriate.

personally, I LOVE to be called woman. I mean it helps others clarify exactly what gender I am...it can be confusing sometimes :flip:

So you never, ever, ever, look at your lady friends and say, "Hey hot girl?" :flip:

my husband calls me woman, and it's ok. Now if he called me dear, i would not be happy.

My dad used to call my mom dear when she was being unreasonable or just a pain...so I have bad vibes with that.
my Uncle used to call his wife woman, and it was a term of endearment, you could tell they really loves each other and it was sweet.

my husband knows this and therefore calls me woman, although sometimes I believe he does it because he likes the look on other peoples faces, waiting to see if I kill him....:laugh:

Don't make the assumption that you know what gender he is! That's sooooo not PC. :flip:

AmandaBroun

Woman!
Whoa, man.
WooooohooohhooooMAN!
She was a thief, you gotta believe
She stole my heart and my cat...

therealangd

LOL. I don't understand. What else are they supposed to call you?

Put it into context.

Not trying to be a smart *kitten*, I really don't know.

billsica

This is why I refer to women as vags, baby-factory, Double X, doll-face, dames, and legs.

Woman!
Whoa, man.

That's funny. I'm the exact opposite. I love being called, "Dear."

...

Or even better "deer" (they have thin legs, amirite?)

When I had long hair... and I mean really long hair. Some guys thought I was a woman. (it was also dark).

I hated that :blushing:

It's pretty evenly split between "miss" and "ma'am" for me. I don't think anyone other than my husband has called me "woman," and that's just joking. Very, very rarely have I been called "lady," and now I have the mental image of Jerry Lewis yelling, "HEY LADYYYYYY!"

Nope, whenever I answer the phone, or see my friends, which very few are women, it's usually Hello Slut, Hello fu**tard, Hello b*tcht*ts. Always hello.

Wait, what? You're not...? I don't... :huh:

"Woman" is not an insult. I am proud to be a woman! WOMEN ROCK!

But don't call me "B****h". :noway: That word will then have a WHOLE new meaning by the time I'm through with you.

Hi, friend.

TinaRodina

I despise being called woman.

Thin, HAIRY legs....

I would just prefer to be met with, "Greetings female." What's wrong with that? :flip:

I have girlfriends who call me woman. It doesn't bother me and I'm not sure why it should. If my husband calls me woman, it's as a joke and doesn't bother me. And no other guys call me that. I do get called hon, sweetie, dear and cutie, and none of those bother me either. As long as it isn't a derogatory term, call me whatever you like. I don't have time to worry about it. :laugh:

On edit: The more I think about it, I actually LIKE being called woman. It IS a badge of honor to my way of thinking, after all. I've earned it.

DieVixen

Woman,I get called many things I dont care about any of them.
Its just a word, I dont care

I have come to the conclusion that there is probably nothing a person could call the female version of the human species without the possibility of offending said female version.

Being a man is so much easier sometimes.
