Female Version of 'Macho'?

[cloudy]

men happen to live bimbos - and it's not synonomous with slut, it implies a certain innocence - but men practically worship the bimbific ideal

Not any man I know, or any man I would ever have anything to do with.

I have no idea where you live, but I've lived all over the states and in Canada, and everywhere I've been, bimbo means a stupid slut, to put it succinctly.

Can someone tell me, is "boi" pronounced "boy" or "bwah"? I've only read about the term, I've never heard it said aloud. Or, if I have, I didn't know they meant "boi", not "boy". Or maybe I just thought lesbians say "boy" like gays say "girl" or "she".

Madonna is particularly good at manipulating female stereotypes, often to the extent of overshadowing her not inconsiderable talent as a singer - like me, she didn't create the world, she just live in it, and makes it work for her.

bim·bo (bĭm'bō) Pronunciation Key
n. pl. bim·bos

1. Slang A woman regarded as vacuous or as having an exaggerated interest in her sexual appeal.
2. Slang A vacuous person: "a male bimbo ... who even has to be tutored ... in the clichés that comprise the basic interview" (George F. Will).

Marilyn Monroe played a bimbo, that's right. And, at the same time, was the essense of feminity.

But the two are NOT synonymous.

What's interesting is that the word is, actually masculine in form, but currently only used to describe women.

Whattaya know - words can change meaning? The two what?

it's pronounced "boy"so the confusion is understandable... Confused me, too.

Ah, I was waiting for you Cloudy, did you smell blood? If the foo shits, wear it.

If, Bel, your fencing was an enormous part of your life, and IF, bel, you had been concious for that entire life that other people would judge you if they knew you fenced; and IF, Bel, you had been sensitised by the enormous and unavoidable societal othering around fencing, and IF, Bel, some dude you don''t know steps up and TELLS you all about corps 'a'corp-- i suggest you might wish he hadn't even started talking.

This is true. Sometimes it's easy to remember that. Sometimes the ignorance seems to fly into your face faster than you can brush it away. See, that's because he wasn't telling you all about fencing.

Okay, step back.

I'm going to respectfully suggest that you're directing ire in the wrong direction here.

Also, you've known me long enough that you will know that I although I might wish they had never started talking, it's highly unlikely I would actually voice that opinion.

It takes two sides to have a fight. If eyes had simply been rolled at an idiot comment, no one would be getting personal.

And if he was that wrong trying to tell me all about fencing my biggest challenge would be holding back my laughter, not fighting back the desire to pop him in the jaw.

But that's my personality and the way I handle things. *shrug* I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying breathe a little.

EDITED TO ADD:
Although if he continues like this, the idea of a pop in the jaw will continue to grow more appealing.

excuse me?????

WTF is your damn problem? I haven't been rude to you.

Kiss my red ass, fuckwad.

 

[off2bed]

Fuck it all, someone asked a simple question and people have to turn it into their own personal bitchfest, like it's all about them. Who gives a fuck?

Bimbo is a brand of bread from Mexico.

I really didn't mean to get your hackles up, Stella, I should have realised how easily my post could be misread.

Fixed your post.

That's okay Big Guy, I've done it too-- plenty times.

Yep... I always have an internal giggle at the word because I make that same association.

 

[Stella_Omega]

I just CAN'T apologise, or even express empathy when my ego has been bruised--you understand.

yeah... I do understand. It's tough.

 

[xssve]

You need look no further than the mirror - or are you categorically incapable of being wrong?

I wasn't rude at all to you. I don't know what the hell your problem is, but apparently its a LARGE one.

Warrior, making reference to anything other than a man's gut as large is going to be taken as a compliment...

Maybe you just left your sense of humor in your other pants?

Well, he might take it that way, but women understand that any man that acts like he does is compensating for something.

Newsflash: calling any self-respecting woman a bimbo isn't funny.

Are you saying he drives a very large pickup? In these gas-guzzling times?

I hope not.

Nope, know nothing at all about him, thank god, except that his Indian wife left him.

For Dark Eyes, if you must know. And it was I who left.
