Woman of mass destruction

Ah, these are rather common. Divorces are their weapon of choice.

More often than not, the man has his post-alimony earnings and net worth rolled back twenty years or more. Most never return to their prior economic level unless they’re young enough to compensate, and then they remain severely behind their peers, as well. Only the truly wealthy men - think $10M of net worth or more, and $250k+ earnings - can bounce back from a divorce like it’s nothing.

OOP: warfare
OC1: war and warfare
OC2: weapons

It's not the same and it irks me. Thanks.

[–] CptBread@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

Agreed, though for me I'm fine with adding war, it's close enough to warfare.

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 10 points 20 hours ago

I think it actually implies the existence of mechanical women, aerodynamic women, thermodynamic women, ceramic women and computer women.

this use of the term "biological" is stupid

hrt and surgery are both most certainly "biological"

I’d identify as a ballistic woman.

you have a large mass and move at high speeds?

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 5 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

It's not the mass, it's the curvature of the curve they are undertaking ...
(I'm guessing, not trying to speak for them)

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 56 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I prefer asymmetrical women.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 3 points 19 hours ago

Not to be confused with assmetrical women (they can use their derrieres to accurately measure things).

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 50 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Not to be "that guy" but I think they are mixing their metaphors here. "Biological weapon" is the comparison they're making, not "biological war" which isn't something I think exists,

So examples like "chemical woman", "woman of mass destruction" work, whereas "total woman" or "guerrilla woman" do not.

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 50 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I was thinking "biological warfare". Which still doesn't fit all the references, but I'll write it off as "artistic liberty"

[–] Klear@quokk.au 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

But that would imply scientific liberty, engineering liberty and, worst of all, AI slop liberty.

Ah, a shit post enjoyer of refined taste I see.

"Biological warfare" does in fact exist, and can be compared to "guerrilla warfare" and perhaps "total war" as a type of warfare as a slight stretch.

[–] protist@retrofed.com 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I assumed it was "warfare," and for that every example works

It's warfare. The only one that doesn't fit is "of mass destruction"

[–] Pipster@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago

I dunno, referring to somebody as a "total weapon" is very valid here

Woman of mass destruction

My sister in law

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Woman of ass destruction.

Pegging

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 10 points 1 day ago

I think my sister in law probably still qualifies if I know my brother …

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 2 points 19 hours ago

Of which mass counterweight women are my fav!!

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 22 hours ago

Ranged Women and Martial Women too

the only time that the concept of "biological woman" matters is when you want to make children. every other time it just plainly doesn't matter.

"Action Stations! Threat priority Anti-Air Women Red!"

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've studied womanfare on the frontlines. I can tell you that women never change.

[–] agentshags@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

I hope they at least change on laundry day!

Women of conquest.

Most of the women I've encountered in life seem to be engaged in a long-term siege. No breeching those walls.

BTW, they won't respond to slapping them with your "cannon balls." Just saving you the futile attempt.
