/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Honestly I feel like I'm gonna get myself in trouble every time I use "female" at all. There isn't really another adjective to use though. Saying "woman boxer" has a totally different meaning than "female boxer" for example. Oh well, I don't really value the opinion of people who would fault me for stepping on linguistic bear trap anyway.

Female is a great adjective and a poor noun.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

such a female thing to say.

Female is fine. Females is very often used in a problematic way.

I have had negative experiences with people much more opinionated and much less discerning than you.

Female birds generally have less colorful plumage than male birds.

I had a really fantastic laugh about this.

Female boxer when woman boxer walks in:

[–] coolfission@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

There’s “gal” or “lady”

[–] endless_nameless@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Lady boxer is still someone who punches women...

[–] ThirdConsul@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

Gal boxer and lady boxer both sound like it's someone who hits them gals and ladies though?

On the other hand, since women usually fight other women, it strangely might fit? :)
