Yeah, he is going to be on his turf with a large audience. Can he help himself?

Trump is colluding with the Canadians now.

Not sure what subforum this belongs in. Dominic Cardy is a provincial politician but the incident is more one of national interest, I think. N.B. politician Dominic Cardy arrested after confronting anti-Israel protesters in Toronto

Posted this elsewhere but this is my favorite. To me, she actually sounds like she is on something here.

I can see this debate being possibly very crazy, but I could also see it being very tame.

Do you plan to watch the debate?

Trump is claiming that she is playing the race card. You are, in turn, claiming that by doing so Trump is playing the race card. By that logic, accusing someone of playing the race card is the same as playing the race card. By extension, accusing someone of stealing is the same as stealing. If accusing someone of stealing is not the same as stealing, then Trump did not play the race card. If it doesn't fit, you must acquit!

I just read speed read Project 2025 and it said "robosmith is lying". Fox News said you're lying about what Trump thinks.

Neither one of them should ever publically talk about anything sciency.

To be fair though, I could see Trump saying something like that. Didn't he talk about using nukes to stop hurricanes? If they joined forces, Trump and Kamala could come up with some truly revolutionary ideas.

Nuh uh.

Well, whatever happens it should be entertaining. Too bad that Elon Musk / Maduro fight will never actually happen.

Cuz he is an intelligent adult?

Tell you what Black Dog. Let's pick this one up another day. I am going to go read some other threads.

No, you just provided the etymology of the word "womanly". womanly (adj.) c. 1200, of a man, "wanton, lascivious;" late 14c. of a woman, "feminine," of qualities, "proper to a woman;" from woman + -ly (1). From c. 1400 of men with the sense "effeminate, weak." Related: Womanliness.

Ah, I see what you are saying here. I misread one of your arguments. I thought you were talking about the word "woman".

I have no interest in what "womanly" means. You introduced the term into the discussion -- in a negative sense (you actually used the word "unwomanly").

No, that is a modern definition. It originally was not a term which applied to all these things. It was a term for a female biological woman.

Nice comeback. Those are two logically constructed sentences, myata. You should do that more often.

Whether or not that is the correct definition of "womanly" is irrelevant to whether or not the definition of "woman" ever existed independently of a collection of traits that are "womanly". There was something they applied the term "woman" to originally. It wasn't to a thing which acted in a "womanly" way. It was to a biological female human.

All I am suggesting is that the word "woman" originally applied to a biological female sex. Whatever "womanly" means, the concept of "woman" had to exist first.

I haven't said it does. Perhaps the definition of womanly is broader than that as well. It wouldn't be just how they ought to act, but also observations about the people with vaginas (which they labelled as women) tended to act. This really has no relevance to the argument at hand. Whether I define "womanly" correctly or not, there was something called "woman" that they derived it from. That thing was a biological human female.

You know, I just realized something, myata. I've been reading your posts these last few weeks. Your rants. Particularly that original post in your thread about Trump being a "boring old man". You go on about hateful lies, and how Trump is a lying clown beating a "tambourine of hatred and lies". Boom Boom Boom. I've been reading these posts of yours, and seeing how Trump gets under your skin, and it reminded me of something. But I could not put my finger on what it was exactly. But I have just realized what it is - a romantic comedy. The female character has been with several guys who seem to be Mr. Right, but ultimately somehow they never quite do it for her. Then, she meets this obnoxious guy who just grinds her gears. Everything he does gets under her skin. Then she rants to her girlfriends and her mom about how intolerable he is. But they know what I now know...... You love Trump, myata.

They are two different words. One was classically used to describe a biological female. "Womanly" was an idea of how a "woman" ought to act. If you didn't act "womanly" you would still have been a woman, a biological female. There was no concept of "womanly" before someone gave a name to those things with vaginas and boobs.

Do you agree with this statement, Black Dog?
