minus-squareExecutive Chimplinkfedilink2•6 hours agoFun fact, woman and man come from different roots. So while it might have the letters of man in it, it doesn’t have man exactly.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•4 hours agoThat doesn’t sound right… From what I remember “woman” comes from “wifman”, which is a compound of “wif” and “man”, and back then “man” still refered to male and female persons, and “wer” and “wif” were male and female persons respectively.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•3 hours ago except that “man” wasn’t gendered at the time. But I included that, didn’t I? and back then “man” still refered to male and female persons Or do you mean rather than male and female, I should have said persons regardless of gender? I guess that makes more sense.
