MANKIND = FIGHTERKIND
Fits in perfectly with my headcanon that we’re the real space orks all along
The only real ‘other’ are the Tyranids and maybe the Necron, rest are based on different aspects of humanity like any other fantasy world
So yeah i agree :)
hufighter
MANKIND = LICKERKIND
Policeman = Peoplefighter
Policeman = Domestic abuser by statistics.
I was just trying to follow their current pattern.
So am I.
i know it’s a meme, but “man” originally meant something like -person (though that was like 1,000 years ago).
that said, how about these
firefighter
mailhander
fisher
bootlicker
spokesperson
garbagergarbager
That would be you. The person emptying your trash bin should be called degarbager.
Or how about ‘trasher’
Hnmm hold on hear me out. Garbagier
In the book series the expanse, which takes place a couple hundred years in the future, terms like sir are gender neutral. Women in charge are often referred to as sir. I think that’s what’ll happen irl, hopefully. I use guys as a gender neutral term and always have, and I will not stop!
Heeeeeey you guys!
Bring it back. Call them wermen from now on.
+1 for garbager. Garbaging is hard.
That’s pretty much how I’ve always used it. Still call all mailmen “mailmen” regardless of gender. I’m not sure how important any of this is to the average person (no one seems to care in my day to day life).
Boxer: Fighterfighter
Bouncer: Fightfighter
Teddy Bear: Frightfighter
I mentally read all of these like I was the announcer from Super Smash Bros
I believe Ryan North of Dinosaur Comics first made this joke, in 2013:

It has always stuck with me since.
I’ve met female taxi drivers, female security guards, one female builder even, but I’ve never met a “garbage woman”. Maybe the nasty smell is just too potent? Women do have very strong noses. 🤔
And now you have
Stay strong and thank you for your service! 🫶
What service
By replying “And now you have” to a comment of someone saying “I’ve never seen a garbagewoman” you implied that you were a garbagewoman, so they thanked you for your service in waste disposal?
Sorry misunderstanding I’m a garbage woman not a garbagewoman
I see! Stay strong and thank you for your service! 🫶
I’ve met a garbage woman once. She didn’t work in waste disposal though.
Most of us dont
You wouldn’t find the others a few decades ago and people came up with reasons why. Turns out they were wrong so maybe your reason is wrong as well.
i assume it’s because it’s a job that requires a lot of manual labor something that would be hard for most woman since weaker muscles
Endurance tasks tend to be more suited towards women and you are supposed to not overload your garbage bins. Woman can be tough and a lot of men aren’t. I would expect stigma and expectations to be a bigger driver of gender imbalance.
A lot of people do report increased sensitivity to smell when switching to an estrogen dominated hormone balance, so there is that.
I’ve seen a couple in the UK. Driving the trucks and loading garbage bins onto the truck. Here they don’t have to carry the garbage, they roll the bin into position behind the truck. Still physically demanding, but not quite like carrying heavy garbage bags all day.
I think I have seen once in Belgium or somewhere in western Europe.
They exist, I lady a garbage lady for a while. My sister in law is head of collections for a large city. She doesn’t actually touch the garbage though.

How are police the bootlickers? Police are the bootwear-ers. They lick their own boots?
Those who support the fascist actions of the police are the bootlickers…
They lick the oligarchs’ boots by insisting we lick their boots. It’s bootlicking all the way up.
The oligarchs wear loafers and boat shoes.
Boatlickers
Shaman = Shafighter
I get it, but not nice to fetish shame … Not all bootlickers are pigs
Iv wanted to be a garbage fighter since I was a wee lad
The police wear the boots tho
You should see the flexibility they demonstrate to both wear and lick boots.
True.
They serve the ruling class. What do rich people wear?
(Jimmy)Choolicker?
Are we human, or are we fighter?
We are even better: Humanfighters!
Garbageperson is a vibe tho
Incorrect, they’re people experiencing garbageness
