Mialee's FASHION PLATE MAIL #1

[A2Z]

I dunno, I read "waspish" as synonymous with all terms that could apply to Joan Rivers, that crotchety old harpy. Am I crazy, or is waspish a term for... unpleasantly vicious women?

You're crazy. But you're also right. I've heard it used that way as well.

I was explaining another poster's comment about waspish/Protestant that confused Mialee. your definition is the one Mialee had in mind, I believe.

Well, I was off in my definition, but Mialee may have had the right idea. I'm going to go sit in the corner and drool on a basketball.

You object to being female?

Re: Question

You object to being female?

OK, people, I'm going to be waspish here. Objectification means to treat something as an object. So to "objectify as a member of the female gender" means to treat someone of the female gender as an OBJECT, say as opposed to a person. So the objection is to being treated like a jiggly meat puppet for your right hand, not to being a female.

Jeesh, this is a joke thread people, so a) loosen up and b) if you want to get the "women in gaming art" thing started, make another thread.

David, if you were joking, use a smiley . I'll get off my soapbox if you were joking, really.
