Women are Bees. Men are Birds. Arrhenotoky OP.

Of the 60,000 bees in a hive, almost 99% of them are female! Female honey bees, or worker bees, make all of the decisions in the hive and do all of the work. There are a couple hundred male bees in a hive, but they don't do much but sit around and eat food.

Thats a little to common sense for the average American.

I'd wager bees are boys, for bathroom purposes, cause boys have a "stinger"

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

Maybe this isn't in America.

That said, if it was in the UK, 'birds' would be for women, so the result would be the same.

I think it's a play on words Bees -> Bs, B stands for Boy. Birds -> British slang for women.

Birds -> Bs, B stands for Boy...

[-] absentbird@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

I mean that if you say "Bees" out loud it sounds like "B's", as in the boy's room.

I actually got that after I read my own post

But it did remind me of the joke that Quebec labels the cold water with C for cold and hot water with C for chaud

[-] joshcodes@programming.dev 2 points 6 months ago

Same thought different reasoning: the expression "a bees dick" exists. There's no equivalent for birds.

Meanwhile I've never heard "a bee's dick" in my life.

[-] joshcodes@programming.dev 1 points 6 months ago

My favourite use is to suggest a near miss: the other car missed the cyclist by a bees dick.

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

Well, there is the fact that "bird" is itself slang for both penis and woman, though of course in the case of the latter it is antiquated enough to be considered offensive (of course, since as I'm informed the only inoffensive ways to refer to those who identify as belonging to the gender traditionally known as the "not male" gender are "girls" for those under 18 and "women" for those above, the offensiveness of this term is perhaps expected.)
