    This displays a monuwomental ignorance of etymology.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      I noted a major problem.

      "Woman" also contains the word "man". Iterating the above substitution process yields wowoman, wowowoman etc.

      I believe the only rescue from this problem is to use some linguistic fixed point combinator, like μX.woX, that stands for the infinite expansion "wowowowowo..." of the above process.

        Careful. If you try to understand today's left it will pull you down into a black hole and suck all your brain cells out.

                  Amen and Awomen fails to address non-binary individuals. How offensive!

                          What about the electoral womandate to remove gerrywomandering, or is that a womanufactured call for ewomancipation from a noncomforwomance that doesn't comwomand respect?

                          I was only joking

                            I'm tempted to write a browser plugin that replaces every occurence of "man", regardless of context, by "woman". Shouldn't be hard.

                              You will run afoul of transgender men, born as women, who attempt to describe themselves. Your plan is deeply immoral.

                              Education is extremely important.

                                I mentioned what you said, and a friend of mine told me about a famous track runner name Tyson Gay (I think)

                                Anyway, some Christian website would automatically change the word “gay” on any news article on its website to “homosexual” so when this man was running and there was news about him, it would automaticllay come out as “Tyson Homosexual”. 555

                                    Amanda Lorian would be a nice sounding name.

                                    Wonder if all the Amandas in the world rename themselves Womanda.

                                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
