Taurus Man How protective are you of Females in your Inner Circle?
How Protective Are Taurus Men of Female Friends
Taurus men are often highly protective of women in their inner circles. They develop strong paternal instincts and may act defensively to shield their female friends from harm or disrespect. This protectiveness stems from their loyalty and desire to ensure safety and stability for loved ones.

I used to, then I let them hoes deal with shit on their own
Blah blah blah harem hoe shit.
Thx, I halfwanted to be called out, I often didnt do anything cause they are adults, and I would feel like
a weirdo . My friends are 20 or 30 somethings not teenies. And if they are willing to deal with shitty people rather than move on I often discovr that they have issues themselves and are part of the problem, not some innocent kids who are victimized.

Its really hard to move on if you're being abused in a relationship.

Which makes it even harder to help them, and maybe you are not even the right person to help them. Thats probably
where therapists come in. Its not just jealousy I genuinely want to hurt abusive people cause I can feel the pain they inflict to others.
please don't call women females.
please don't call women females.

I also want to casually sharpen my knife, when they are at my place. Its a ritual in Germany that fathers do.

Do you refer to men as "males"?

Nah, but if you talk about friends who are female you have to underline that we are not talking about Women I fuck but
friends are people who are just my friends who happen to have the gender female. But I got your memo, from now on I say women friends. Bitches is not okay either? To me its like this:
You are infantilizing grown people.
Do you sharpen the knife for your male friends? No?
Then how about you mind your own fucking business.
If they need protection they can ask.
Thx I needed to hear that.
You probably just want to have a kid, in all seriousness. start a family and there won’t be any time left for drama.
Or so i hear!
He’ll end up with a daughter to sharpen knives over.

Sjw, or women have to deal with sexist wording everyday and/or I am oblivious to that. Do Women hear degrading

SJW as an acronym is pejorative. Regardless, language structures are developed out of cultural and social structures. Since the majority of those were determined by men, a female perspective hasn’t been a priority.
Just like how men are always Mr. but women have their title based on their marital status/historical based on what relationship they had to men by Mrs., Miss, etc. Ms. came about as an alternative but it was not originally considered. That’s another example.

I just looked up pejorative in a dictionary and when I used SJW it was definetly meant to be pejorative. Where I come from, people are very
loose with their wording yet nobody is offended and I find it annoying to be lectured on why my wording is hurtful. I label that as "unwanted mami scolding". I honestly dont know what my stance is. I find that some people use the term toxic masculinity when they run out of arguments and try to take the moral highground or they use the term just plain incorrectly. This american Metoo/SJW/Feminist stuff i see online seems to
be sensational, emotionally charged, incoherent. Do you have a source with valid facts that could change my "reasoning" ? You talk like an academic person.

My source is academia. Women up until a few centuries ago were considered on the same level of being as plants and animals and not on par with humanity. Though scientifically we are animals.
The problem is you are looking online and on social media to form your opinions instead of history and criticism. That’s the issue.

I dont have an opinion at all, I am just preemptively closedminded because of my first impression online. What is your source? Please recommend me a good paper
Man or Woman. Girl or Boy. Male or female. Doesn't matter.
If I see things I know will not work for them or more then a couple things that are bad news in general. I'll give them a heads. A real friend speaks up and asks WTH is up with that? I usually ask them to talk to them about it and try to hash it out.
At the end of the day it's there choice. No point in being aggressive about it. In fact it can be used against you. Some of the most messed up people will isolate their targets. They will flip that on you.
Womenfolk on here say shit like "male friends, male coworker" all the time.
Y'alls like "we don't need your protection" then straight up posts a video of a dude tryna protect you from mean hurtful words.
Did you watch the video? Because he explains the difference between using it as an adjective and a noun.
Yeah did you read his OP? Adjective, not that it matters. It's still perfectly applicable as a noun.
Y'all digging up BS out of nothing at all.

Would you consider the possibility that its not really dismissing women, just using wording without thinking about it?
Like if you are around aggressive fire signs when they get impatient and say STFU for a fucking second or Hey Asshole listen to me they are not intentionally putting you down in demeaning way, they are expressing their emotions instantly. And if
you confront them and dissect their wording they will be genuinely baffled. What about that possibility?

it's not "as the english language intended". it is grammatically incorrect.
to be certain, i don't think that the op intended to be derogatory but the term when used that way is offensive to some.
personally, it grates. clearly for others it does as well. it dehumanises women to use it as a noun not to mention that it is unnecessary when a word already exists.
i'm struggling to see what your objection is.
some women find it offensive. it makes no material difference to you for you to use the correct term for adult human female and yet you choose not to. so, does that mean you deliberately wish to offend women by using the term?

i'm sorry if my request has annoyed you. i'm certainly not lecturing you. i made a polite suggestion. I'm not hurt by it. it's a modern way of speaking that i think is unnecessary and is used by some to demean women. i've asked if you could consider using the correct term.
We would never have a lengthy discussion about nouns and adjectives if it wasnt for Corona. I could`ve written Women Friends.
I will next time. I just asked because I came across people use small choice of words like this to take the moral high ground,
accuse me of sexism, and I find that disruptive and disturbing cause I am very literal and logical so sudden, dramatic emotionally charged Statements and accusations and framing a statement as an offensive act of gender discrimination and therefore changing the subject is are very irritating, and disruptive and infuriating. I HATE THAT. I walk away thinking that
my discussion partner is framing herself as a victim, reinforcing the stereotype of women being bitchy and hysterical, being intellectually lazy and just overall unpleasant as a person.
I hoped that you people would shed light on that. Thx.

right. the definition of woman is an adult human female.
but saying female alone, removes the human part. so referring to a woman as female ignores her particular humanity.
It's kinda like saying we shouldn't be referring to a woman as a human because a human can be a man too. Or to say that a car isn't a vehicle because a vehicle can be a truck.
you can be both human and female.
you can be a human and male.
you can be a vehicle and a truck
you can be a canine and a wolf.
you can't however be female (or male) and only human.

I disagree, but I am not trying to dismiss your POV or Fanta's. I just want to add to please consider though that when someone else is using the term "female" to a woman, there is probably a high probability that they aren't using it in a degrading sort of way to the woman in question.

please don't call women females.
Wtf
What's confusing, Male?
Who cares?
The people who spoke up about it in this thread, obviously. Women.
no not women, only you 2 morons
lol, glad to know your knowledge of the topic only goes as far as this thread. keep up the good work.
Bro your brain is loose. I never see you voice your thoughts on police brutality on blacks yet you here talking nonsense about using the word "female" what planet are you from

if that was my personal experience, i would be front and centre. needless to say it's a deplorable and inexcusable aspect of our society and no one in their right minds could say anything but that.
however as a middle aged, middle class white woman living in the north of england, i don't have a lot of encounters of police brutality on blacks to speak of and I am more than happy to listen and be schooled in others experience.
the awfulness of police brutality doesn't negate what we are saying though.
Womenfolk on here say shit like "male friends, male coworker" all the time.
Y'alls like "we don't need your protection" then straight up posts a video of a dude tryna protect you from mean hurtful words.
I use the term male friends or female friends all the time, the pc brigade is exhausting 🥱
female friends, male friends is a descriptor of the word "friends". perfectly legitimate.

But that is the context the poster used it in 🤔 he referred to his female friends. He clearly doesn’t have paternal instincts toward male friends.
However if he pointed in the street to a group of women and said “those females” then I can understand why it’s sounds derogatory.

Sure, initially I didn’t want everyone ganging up on him, as he isn’t a native English speaker 😂😂
But I do get him. As a Cancerian woman I definitely baby Taurean male friends. I don’t do that with other signs. Not sure why the maternal side comes out more with them 👶🍼😂😂😂

He used it incorrectly in the title, which I'm sure @jeane saw and had a mild cringe to, just as I did. I chose not to mention it and answered his question. She chose to joke about it with a gif of Sarah Silverman. He took offense. Little Star and I backed her up. Others took offense. Yet others showed up to tell those who took offense not to listen to us, to ignore and dismiss our stupid petty PC bullshit. Why so offended by our words? It could have been an instructive joke to the OP. We could have moved right past it and then we might be discussing his question instead of the usage of "female".

I wouldn't be bothered by being referred to as a male. So I don't get why some of you female users are so hot and bothered by it.
And lastly. @parkourler I like to apologise on my behalf crashing on your thread with a post that's unrelated to the topic. I just so happen to browse thru this thread on a whim out of boredom saw some crying going on and wanted to see what all the fuss is about.

Urgh 🙄 It’s those puppy doe eyed look 👶 🐶 that diffuses my resting bitch face (cap rising) 😂 Taurus men mellow us out.
But you’ve described it as true. Although you’re overboard in the protective nature of your friends. I get the Taureans are very possessive of everything and everyone, so it’s in you’re nature.

I learned something new today, I dont have an informed opinion on gender influenced language and its implications so I will not even try to be right and win the discussion. Here are my feels not my reasoning. I dont like it, that you used the word incorrectly. So there are some rules, expectations etc. I should conform to. Makes me think of 1984. I feel resistance to that notion. I want to talk like I want to. Apparently I should also avoid offending people. I feel pressured and emotionally blackmailed. Something is off, curse words and rough language is part of day to day life, I associate a stern disapproving teacher with thick glasses from the 50s shaking their index finger back and forth. Thats would be my answer to your question
Why so offended by your words.
When I follow mainstream media, then apparently we (the males) are horrible everything about our identity our core beliefs, rituals, mannerism is fundamentally wrong, oppressive,imposing, damaging. My brain says, present your facts, my gut says fuck you.

because your sex is not used against you on a daily basis.

Yes you did, this word is good, that word is bad, dont call a guy a little bitch when he doesnt want to finish his whiskey etc etc. I think you know all that. If you get called out and reprimanded for not conforming then you are enforcing rules. but thx

Huh😕 I don't get it. Why would people wanna use your sex against you? Like that shit's crazy. I don't think I ever call a woman female, at least not to my knowledge. When I speak to women in real life I almost always use my only famous catch phrase with a smile and a little twinkle and say "hi, how you lovely ladies doing today". And even if I was to use the word "female" at any women you can be sure that it won't be used against them on a daily basis. Or no basis.

Hi,
I have an inner circle, like any Taurus, I develop paternal feelings when a female Friend deals with shitty Guy. I make it a point to talk to them in private when
they get introduced, when they play Mindgames I feel the urge to pull them aside and threaten them. I also want to casually sharpen my knife, when they
are at my place. Its a ritual in Germany that fathers do. I know a father who used to do Kickbox Competitions whenever his daughter brought a boy over,
he would ignore them but polish his Kickboxmedals and disassemble his hunting rifle in the living room and clean it. Is it just me or is it a taurus thing?
