Have you got any weird questions FROM the opposite gender?

Misread the title of the other post which made me think of this question.

I, as a male, have had multiple women ask me how we ride bikes without smashing our balls.

Oh yay, this has finally become askreddit...

"Lemmings, what is the sexiest sex you have ever sexed?"

Lemmy is still overwhelmingly white, male, young, and nerdy. Until it gets a more diverse userbase, it won't be askreddit.

I don't know where you're getting your info, but Lemmy trends older, around 30 to middle aged and up. And there a lot of women here as well.

Questions asking "hey gender, what does X something gender?" is so stereotypical askreddit it's eye rolling.

I'd love to see the data on the "age 30 and up" because the people I interact with have the worldly knowledge and emotional maturity of a teenager far more often than not.

I suspect that data is out of date, from before the reddit exodus.

Edit: and perhaps women are keeping a low profile, but from casual observation I see more trans women than cis women on lemmy, which is insane when you think about the demographics involved.

Heyo, run of the mill cis girl here, middle age (that pains me to say it but it’s reality), we’re here. And I’ve honestly noticed the demographic being a lot of mid-30’s and up here. Not exclusively of course but more so than Reddit

I'm not sorry for pointing out your topic question is blandly stereotypical reddit drivel.

Do better.

I dunno, I figured it was a response to seeing the “do you have any questions FOR the opposite gender” thread. And it seemed an appropriate response. THAT question might be considered stereotypical Reddit drivel. This one is more interesting, simply because it’s a step removed.

I'm gonna ask. Is there a difference between white and caucasian?

Is there a difference between white and caucasian?

“Caucasian,” the classification from when we thought race was biological rather than social, referred broadly to people from Europe, and some from Northern Africa, and parts of the Middle East and West Asia. Caucasoid was one of three, alongside Mongoloid and Negroid.

Now in North American English “Caucasian” refers to people who are generally white and from European descent. It is sometimes seen as having a more polite or scientific connotation than “white.”

It can also refer to people from the Caucasus region.

Oh yeah, people from the Caucasus region of Europe/Asia aren't white in America anymore

Probably? Not in colloquial usage but I'm sure there's an academic difference.
