Here’s how that would go:
“Hey, Alice, what’s up, it’s Mike from the party!”
“Alice? What do you mean alice, she di…”
[Thinking] “shit, that’s a man’s voice. Must be her boyfriend.”

Another dark Jedi.
Not sure why there’s so much confusion over the use of woman vs. female. To my mind it’s
“Alice is a woman, she is a female friend”, not “Alice is a female, she is a woman friend”.
(But even if you want to say ‘woman friend’, you’d then have to ‘women friends’ for the plural)
Ridiculous.
Also, are straight people misappropriating the term “ally” now?
Oh shut up
You first
hahahahaha! thanks for the laugh.
Shut up.
Suck my dick.
Hmm, I have a magnifying glass around here somewhere.
Geopolitics stole it, too!
Damn right!
Yeah, that’s not what misappropriation means. No one club gets to own a word in as common of use as ally. People have allys. Nations have allys. Various groups allys. You need to settle down and stop trying to own something nobody can own.
You do realize that no one is talking about the English use of the word here…
Again, I don’t care what team/community/orientation/gender/race or even species you align with, you don’t get to own the word. That’s not how things work in any language.
We get it. You are slow.
Yes you are. You’ve picked a really stupid hill to die on here.
but hurry up and die already, would you?
Needed to get your alt downvoted some? Jesus, man, go back to reddit till you grow up a little.
