Discussion about a promiscuous co-worker. This one's long.
------------------------------
WIFE: we need some anne shirley up in here
MCW: we already had COWORKER WITH RED HAIR, that was quite enough
WIFE: comparing those two things is an abomination
MCW: :@
WIFE: anne shirley is not a lying whore
MCW: get it? red...head, that's not fair or nice
WIFE: really? how?
MCW: there is no confirmation COWORKER WITH RED HAIR ever accepted money in exchange for sex
WIFE: dinner=money, saying it's not is only semantics
MCW: she screwed a dude for dinner?
WIFE: don't most women?
MCW: like, as a business arrangement? most = all, last i checked
WIFE: no. not all. most
MCW: shirley you're not calling them all whores
WIFE: yes, i am, just my opinion, of course
MCW: ({)(}) slippery slope, my dear bosslady, can i call you my bossom friend, it's a bosom friend, but also a boss
WIFE: haha. yes. how is it a slippery slope?
MCW: because you're saying women who have sex in exchange for niceties provided by men (money, dinner, company, activities, companionship) are whores
WIFE: actually, i'm saying any woman who has sex outside of marriage is a whore. again, just my personal stance.
MCW: what are men who have sex outside marriage?
WIFE: whores
MCW: why not whore mongers
WIFE: i think of a whore monger as a pimp. is that not accurate?
MCW: hmmm good point, the real possibility that i'm one of the few people in your trusted circle of current and former work companions who qualifies as a whore,
MCW: is dawning on me, and i like it
WIFE:
MCW: i should probably go back to grinding away at my guilty, guilty life now
WIFE: yeah, that sounds weird to me (about a work issue)
WIFE: is "that's weird" not sufficient?
MCW: it was sufficient enough for you to define what a "whore" is, evidently :'(
WIFE: you realize i'm not actually the one who defined what a whore is, right?
MCW: but you apply it that way, guilt by association, and besides, the definition only refers to women and promiscuity, not marriage or men
WIFE: you're really hung up on semantics. would you prefer i use tramp, trollop, slut, or any of the other synonyms? what about we just stick to fornicator?
WIFE: is that gender-neutral enough for you?
MCW: if you said COWORKER WITH RED HAIR is a promiscuous skank, that's fine with me
WIFE: but, you know, most people are fornicators, so we really do need a word for those who go, how shall i put this, above and beyond.
WIFE: ok, she's a promiscuous skank. most women i know who have regretted their promiscuity have labeled themselves as whores. if that bothers you, so be it.
MCW: that wouldn't bother me. it bothers them and if it bothers them...why does my opinion matter, again?
MCW: all i wanted to talk about was Anne Shirley and i got a load of Judgey McJudgernaut
WIFE: you brought up COWORKER WITH RED HAIR and got a load of judgey. what did you expect? *brought.
WIFE: you cannot utter her name in the same lines as anne shirley and not expect a brutal backlash.
WIFE: anne shirley is all that is good in the world. the imaginary world. that does not exist.
MCW: i was just going on the redhead angle, but hey, we have one of those, not named RF
WIFE: p.s. she's not a real redhead
MCW: carrots!
WIFE: she dyes her damn hair, that does not and never will count as being a redhead
MCW: thank you, bossom friend
