I prefer asymmetrical women.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 3 points 2 days ago

Not to be confused with assmetrical women (they can use their derrieres to accurately measure things).

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 31 points 2 days ago (7 children)

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 31 points 2 days 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 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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

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

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

[–] ieGod@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

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

"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.

[–] Pipster@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago

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

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

[–] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago (3 children)

this use of the term "biological" is stupid

hrt and surgery are both most certainly "biological"

Ranged Women and Martial Women too

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

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

I’d identify as a ballistic woman.

you have a large mass and move at high speeds?

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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)

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

Some people do wear you down.

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.

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

Forever woman. World woman I and II. The cold woman. The woman in heaven. Asymmetric woman. Woman games. I could go on.

[–] Pman@lemmy.org 4 points 2 days ago

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

[–] rekabis@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Woman of mass destruction

Ah, these are rather common. Divorces are their weapon of choice.

More often than not, the man has his post-alimony earnings and net worth rolled back twenty years or more. Most never return to their prior economic level unless they’re young enough to compensate, and then they remain severely behind their peers, as well. Only the truly wealthy men - think $10M of net worth or more, and $250k+ earnings - can bounce back from a divorce like it’s nothing.

What of the Mother Of All Women??
