What are some gender neutral ways to refer to people? Surely there are cases where you don't know the gender of someone and you want to call out to them.

Buddy?
Comrade?
Good fellow?
Bosom Person?
>>
>>44464384
I just use "gent."
Works every time. Cause even spergs who flip out about gender pronouning enjoy being called a gent, cause it instills some degree of class in the person arbitrarily.

The worse one is age.

Usually I can call an elderly man "mate" without it being much of a problem ("Excuse me mate, do you have the time?") but what do you call older women? "Love"? "Excuse me love," sounds dodgy coming from a man under 40. "Madam" and "ma'am" sound too formal.
>>
>>44464499
deary.
>>
>>44464499
In the Southern U.S., ma'am is far from formal, but you sound like a limey so that doesn't help you much. Why not go with "Miss"?
>>
>>44464499
Burgertime here. I call women who look about my age or younger "miss", and anyone who I think is older than me "ma'am" (which is not considered formal in my culture).
>>
>>44464642
>tfw calling bitches who look around 30 "ma'am" just to make them feel old
>>
>>44464598
"Miss" is what you call teachers when you're a child. But it's the safest one so far.

Another problem with "ma'am" in England is that in some parts of the UK, "mam" replaces "mum". Seems well dodgy to an Irish or Scottish hard-of-hearing old lady if she thinks you're randomly referring to her as your mother.

Isn't saying "Excuse me, do you have the time?" enough? Why do you need a noun to refer to the recipient? Non-verbal clues should be enough to make it obvious who you're talking to.

I'm not a native English speaker though, and in my language we usually even avoid using second person pronouns when talking to strangers.
>>
>>44465101
Please, regale us with more tales of your avoidance of knowledge for petty reasons.
>>
>>44465116
That's what I do, but it's nice to have specifics when you're calling out to people. If you're in a crowded room, gender-specific forms of address will at least narrow it down by half. Just say, "Excuse me there," and EVERYONE will look.

Depending on how many people there are around it might be necessary, and just to be polite - you're wanting the time from a specific person (even if you don't actually care), rather than just in general

>Wisdom oft comes from the mouths of babes.
No, no it doesn't. That's a fiction cliché.

>Besides, if you go about disregarding arguments willy-nilly then how can you truly be educated?
There are arguments one must dismiss, for considering them can become poisonous to one's ability to think.

Listening to someone who doesn't have the foresight and wisdom to know that putting in a "troll face" in a video is rather uncouth and poorly reflected on himself is not someone who generally has good advice or opinions.

And I have listened to Lindy before. He is consistently wrong not just subjectively, but objectively as well.

Demon, Villain and Human are gender neutral while the rest is the correct version of the feminine form the words Hunter, Sorcerer and Prince.
>>
>>44467393
Ah, but writing and reading in two separate ways is pure genius instead.
>>
>>44465339

But some of those are correct anon.

Any active pronoun that ends in -or is technically masculine. Make it an -rix and it's feminine. Passive pronouns yes, it's dumb, but I don't think it's technically incorrect, just contemporary retarded.

Did you skip your Latin classes, anon?
>>
>>44467494
Princess and Sorceress I can understand, but why does there need to be a distinction between a male and female hunter?
>>
>>44467563
It's a job and one word means male person who hunts for a living while the other means female person who hunts for a living.

It's kinda weird to call a woman Woodsman.
Hunter isn't a gender neutral word in English so there is a feminine version of the word.
>>
>>44467563
If you do not distinguish between male and female hunters, why do you distinguish between princes and princesses and sorceror and sorceress?

or is it?
>>
>>44467633
That's what doesn't make sense to me though, why isn't it just gender neutral when they do the same thing.

>>44467642
The sex of the person is important when it comes to prince and princess, namely because a prince generally speaking is more likely to be an heir and marriage comes into play so the sex of the person is relevant.
>>
>>44467225
underrated
>>
>>44467824
Sometimes languages don't need to make sense.
If there's a gender distinction then it's there.
If there isn't and it's neutral then it's neutral.
If the word is spelled the same in singular as in plural then it's pluralia tantum.
>>
>>44467563
Because the word 'huntress' dates back to when English still had a concept of masculine/feminine words as opposed to just different words to describe a man doing X or a woman doing X and -er is a masculine form.
>>
>>44467947
The original old german word had the meaning of ''hounder'' , someone who hunts with dogs.
Germanic languages are usually very strict when it comes to the gender division of words.
Only Enlish and Swedish are an exception from that norm (English has its historical reasons since it's a language with multiple origins and Sweden is just being progressive libtard for their otherkin people who underwent surgery to mutilate their genitals)
