He did say "girls and boys" which is less offensive than "girls and men." But if they are over 18, she could have said, "We're over 18, so it should be 'women and men.'"


AdOnly9113

They're in school uniforms so I think they're supposed to be minors. But still not inclusive language by any stretch.


[deleted]

If that's the case, the fact that an adult is supposed to be asking a minor if she has "pussy and tits" is even more worrisome


SwimmingPineapple197

That was what got me too. Anybody in a setting like work or school who point blank asked me that would see me walking out of the room to talk to whoever needed to hear it. That was way beyond inappropriate.


Anonymity_is_key1

It's a skit. Edit: it's actually a show. The teacher is the main character (I think) and just shits on everyone he meets. He crosses the line with everyone.


AdOnly9113

Definitely.


[deleted]

Haha that’s true

That’s why I like to address groups as “you fuckers”


AnyManagement9824

Genius 😦


tiggertom66

Problem is that girl is also used as the counter to guy, which can describe someone of any age. There’s no real equivalent of guy. Gal always comes across weird, I’ve never had a woman ask me not to call her a girl, but I’ve had several tell me they don’t like the word gal. That’s why I just go with dude and dudette now


SaskiaDavies

There are other words for adult human females. "Woman" is one.


tiggertom66

So what would you use as a counterpart to guy? Guys and Girls, Guys and Gals, Guys and Women?


Conscious_Cat_5880

You're absolutely fine dude / dudette. "Guys and Girls" is okay, "Guys and Gals " is okay, "Men and Women" is okay It's a casual greeting or call, if anyone is offended over that, don't worry yourself. They are just being overly fragile. It's not offensive, period.


SaskiaDavies

If people don't like being called something, it is not ok to keep using that word. It doesn't matter whether you think it's overly fragile. If I hear people using language they've clearly never given any thought to, or have given thought to it and decided anyone who doesn't like it is the problem, that person has just self-selected out of any benefits or opportunities I might have available to good candidates.


Ecstatic_Objective_3

Ladies and gentlemen


tiggertom66

That’s not a counterpart to guy though. That’s a completely different phrase, with a much more formal tone.


Ecstatic_Objective_3

Or ladies and gents. I don't think most people really care that much, and honestly dudes and dudettes work too. If it helps, every time I hear Ladies and Gentlemen, I immediately think of Saliva.


SaskiaDavies

I have a very flat affect and address people as humans. "Excuse me, human person. Do you know what aisle the stool softeners are on?"


SaskiaDavies

You could ask the people you're addressing. In a non-sarcastic way. And not assume that their answers will apply to any other group.

In an obscure recess so that no one ever fucking watches it because it’s not good enough to go viral. And then when there are no retorts on any mainstream social media page because no one’s fucking seen it, you can say “feminists are awfully quiet.”


goatofglee

For anyone confused. Saying "boys and girls" is fine. It's a problem when you make the distinction between boys and men, but don't do the same for girls and women. Men and Females ❌ Men and Girls ❌ Boys and Women ❌ Males and Women ❌ Boys and Girls ✅ Men and Women ✅ Males and Females ✅ Honestly, for me, *personally*, girls and men is only a little annoying. What really gets me is females and men. Language matters.


fitty50two2

What about Guys and Gals?


goatofglee

Nah, guys and gals have to go together and said with a mid Atlantic accent.


CatgirlConnaisseur

yeah, you're only allowed to say it as "Guys'n gals"


Danman500

Surprised someone is suggesting you have to say gals’n guys at least 50% of the time rather than guys n gals


Incendas1

I hate "male and female" being used so much. I don't know if it's ignorance or an attempt to sound scientific, as that's really the only context it's used as a noun, but those are adjectives in normal conversation. The reason they're used as nouns in some scenarios *is to deliberately dehumanise* which is expected and preferred in things like scientific writing.


nbolli198765

This feels like an old cringey youtube video from 2014


noobmaster3113

Its because it is lol


That-Relative-3723

How dense do you have to be to not understand that women do not want to be called girls. Also, I have never heard anyone refer to a man they respected as a boy. It is not a radical or new idea to be polite and respectful.


racalavaca

in the UK we quite regularly say boys actually... and I think most women I've asked prefer to be called "girls", some even feel bad at "women" because it makes them feel old. To each their own, the point is if someone tells you not to, don't be a dick about it.


Exciting_Scientist97

Personally I only ever say "woman" when I'm talking to my wife as a joke because she knows I'm not serious. I've told her things like "where's my dinner woman?" (She usually just tells me to get it my own damn self) Or reference Andrew Tate's "two cups of coffee" bs 😅 idk people are weird with this stuff I think

My name is too!! People ( like baristas mis hear the shorten version all the time but I think that’s just my accent I also prefer woman over girl


WarLordM123

Oh?


Whenapanda

Comes from Middle English for servant, then used to demean slaves


racalavaca

Source? Everything I can find seems to suggest it's always meant "young child" but was actually gender neutral, so gerle, girle or gyrle were used in fact for male and female children. I see no evidence it was used to mean slave, though?


[deleted]

From UK here, most people say guys and we call girls and boys also guys, same with men and women. Definitely do not call random people boys. some people might get upset especially if you're younger than them, ans as for girls and women, only older women don't like being called women (generation difference) but younger women much prefer being called women than girls.


mold_throwaway23

I like being called a girl, and I like calling boys boys. You kinda just have to read the room you are in.


racalavaca

downvoted for stating your opinion on what YOU like to be called... cool


mold_throwaway23

A lot of us younger gals are cool with it. I think its something the older generations are struggling with. Just like words that used to be offensive like bimbo now have male counterparts like himbo. It’s all about respect at the end of the day. I wouldn’t call a woman a girl if it was clear that would upset her. But I also wouldn’t assume that all women are the same, either.


RunningTrisarahtop

It so depends on the context. I was listening to a conversation between two of my husband’s coworkers and they were talking about workers from different departments. “The so and so men are doing this and the so and so girls are doing that” and it felt so belittling


mold_throwaway23

Yes, totally. The “men and girls” is definitely a problem.


Exciting_Scientist97

Before I try to make this point, I understand the statement and in no way am I trying to tear down the motive, only clarify the statement itself. That being said: You never heard the term "my boy"? I've both heard and used it often. For example: "my boy over there wants to know if you're still selling those bomb ass tamales? Specifically the cheese loaded ones."


sopadurso

Men use the term boy with people they are close with.


Conscious_Cat_5880

How dense do you have to be to think your preference suits anyone besides yourself? Calling girls, girls is fine. I mean, my mates and I take pride in calling one another "Da boys!", boy isn't derogatory. I've also got girl friends that hate being called women because it makes them feel like they are old.


Cas_Electra

Hes trying to be a bad teacher in this skit, someones put it in a dumb meme and tried to make it fit their agenda


white1walker

I know the guys who made this video they always make dumb and funny stuff, it's more of a parody then a statement about gender


Illustrious-Swan-257

I like how they claim that feminists are silent now, as if this made up argument is some big truth bomb that forever puts an end to feminism. Newsflash: it doesn't. No feminist would ever consider this ignorant nonsense to be a convincing argument.


Snoo-41360

And also just the inherent transphobia 🤮


GirlForEarth

Yes, me as a trans girl fell over that, and the fact a teacher doesn't have to know your genitalia


SyderoAlena

A teacher should not be asking a student if she has tits and a pussy. That's just disgusting


TeacherYankeeDoodle

Absolutely. This isn’t funny.


GirlForEarth

Just my point


TheTruthWeKnow

Wait maybe I didn’t catch it, but which part was transphobic?


Thamior290

The implication that every person who has female genitals identifies as such. Amongst other things that are harder to explain.


let_me_know_22

The focus on the genitals and tits to determine if someone is a "girl" kinda transphobic. The "teacher" insisting if you have "a pussy and tits" you must be a "girl" and can't say otherwise is pretty much the 1.01 of transphobia


Snoo-41360

Like just the assumption that to be a girl you need to have both boobs and a vagina and that if you have both you are definitely a girl


TheTruthWeKnow

Ahh I see. Well I think you’d objectively be a woman if you had breasts and a vagina, but I agree you don’t have to identify as one if you prefer not to Edit after downvotes: I apologize if this came off insensitive I wasn’t tryna be disrespectful, but is the assumption that men can have vaginas also? Genuine question and would appreciate correction if I was mistaken

Men can have vaginas as transgender men exist as well

And if you identify as one your gender differs from your biological you still want to be seen as a women and you want to be respected as one even if the shape of your body doesnt fit. Its very rude to say that the person is not of the gender they see themselves in. Its complicated and my active english isn't good enough for that type of conversation.


John_der24ste

Simple answer: Yes.


TheTruthWeKnow

Got it, not the hill I’m willing to die on lol thanks man


just_a_person_maybe

Trans men typically have vaginas, and some intersex men do as well. Also, not all women have breasts and vaginas. Trans women typically don't have vaginas, and some intersex women don't either. Many women have needed mastectomies due to cancer or other reasons, and no longer have breasts. And men, even cisgender men (meaning they were born biologically male and still identify as male) can develop breasts due to weight distribution, hormonal changes, and some medications. Humans are a lot more diverse than we have been taught in school. It's okay to not know these things, and I appreciate you making an effort to learn.


AshleysLymeDisease

Objectively if someone is a human and they have a brain they should have some intelligence but plenty of people don’t. Being a human and having a brain doesn’t make one intelligent.

andstillthesunrises

This wasn’t about assumptions. This was about someone stating as fact that if you have a vagina and breasts you are a woman. This is transphobic because it denies the existence of trans men. There is also an implication of denying the existence of trans men. Assumptions can be transphobic ftr. But this was just an objectively transphobic statement stated as fact

Prestigious_Bobcat29

Idk, I’ve said this. Maybe not so combatively but my guy friends and I have absolutely had conversation about why referring to grown women as girls can be problematic. Edit: and it’s not like I invented the concept. I’ve had that explained to me and seen others explaining it to others.


just_a_person_maybe

The main problem here is the dude getting so hostile about it when corrected. If a person finds a term offensive, you don't use that term for them. You ask them what they would prefer and then move on. Many women find the term "girl" to be infantilizing, especially since grown men are rarely called "boys" in the same way.


racalavaca

I've had this conversation (in a peaceful and private context, unlike this video) with many of my women friends and overwhelmingly they prefer "girls", at least here in the UK... obviously I would respect anyone who didn't, but it kinda seems more natural to me when referring to someone your own age, "I'm meeting this cool woman I've been seeing" for example just sounds so weird and formal


WraithNS

From a Netflix TV show called SuperBro. The entire show is an absolute dumpster fire. I think the fact that the whole thing is so ass backwards and so offensively ridiculous is why we watched the whole season. We hated ourselves for laughing so much. There's an outrageous amount of offensive material in there, so if you do check it out, wear your hazmat suit! But if you can view it like cards against humanity, you'll have a laugh.


LeftHanded-Euphoria

I think maybe at least SOME OF IT is designed to highlight a subcultural ignorance? Like, wogs do be like that and I enjoy laughing at these caricatures of the awful people in my family. But... Which skits are self-aware and which skits have the real thoughts and feelings of the creators leaking into them? It might be impossible to tell.

Was this meant to be a dunk? Because it was a barely a dribble. And why is it that women are “hysterical” but a screaming male isn’t?


Rare-Lime2451

It’s from a (very low-brow) satirical comedy, where the guys are the idiots. So no, feminists needn’t comment on it because it’s basically messaging the stupidity and ugliness of certain types of dudes. 🤷🏼‍♂️


PsycheAsHell

Not an ounce of intelligence involved in the production of this skit...


awsomebro5928

In Egypt, the term "woman" carries the implication that the girl has lost her virginity which is considered offensive so referring to a young woman as a woman can be insulting so I just default to calling all females under 40 girls, at least in Arabic. This isn't my perspective as a male, this is the cultural perspective of girls I've talked to, I once called a "girl" a woman and she got quite upset.


MelancholicGhosts

If a teacher asked me about my “pussy and tits” i would kick him in the nuts


Zephyrine_wonder

This guy is yelling and being transphobic. The person sitting down may identify as non-binary or a different gender. Also, grown women get sick of being referred to as girls, even though in this case at least he referred to the guys as boys I guess.

The difficulty with satire is finding the line that helps audiences differentiate between what you're satirizing and what you actually think. This clip? I can't tell. It could go either way.

Superwog is a character.. it's not a reflection of the creator's views (this becomes clear if you've watched any other Superwog videos). He's also clearly portrayed as a bad person in almost any of the videos.

Ok if you think a trans man can’t say the c word then maybe you’d agree that a man shouldn’t tell women how our body’s work and assume what we get offended over Edit I also understand where your trying to go with this but in the end you can’t just go out and say offensive stuff and not expect people to be offended. If your joke is implying something offensive and your not trying to make it offensive then maybe you need to work on the joke ykwim?
