Not to be "that guy" but I think they are mixing their metaphors here. "Biological weapon" is the comparison they're making, not "biological war" which isn't something I think exists,

So examples like "chemical woman", "woman of mass destruction" work, whereas "total woman" or "guerrilla woman" do not.

I was thinking "biological warfare". Which still doesn't fit all the references, but I'll write it off as "artistic liberty"

[–] Klear@quokk.au 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

But that would imply scientific liberty, engineering liberty and, worst of all, AI slop liberty.

Warfare of attrition? Warfare of mass distruction? There are, I guess, ways to say those things properly, but these aren't them.

I assumed it was "warfare," and for that every example works

Ah, a shit post enjoyer of refined taste I see.

[–] Pipster@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 months ago

I dunno, referring to somebody as a "total weapon" is very valid here

[–] silver@das-eck.haus 4 points 4 months ago

It's warfare. The only one that doesn't fit is "of mass destruction"

[–] gressen@lemmy.zip 34 points 4 months ago

Women on drugs.

Woman of mass destruction

My sister in law

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Woman of ass destruction.

Pegging

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 11 points 4 months ago

I think my sister in law probably still qualifies if I know my brother …

The ultra rare three day special woman operation

[–] knightly@pawb.social 6 points 4 months ago

Now there's a euphemism. XD

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

In and out in twenty minutes.

[–] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 4 months ago (3 children)

this use of the term "biological" is stupid

hrt and surgery are both most certainly "biological"

OOP: warfare
OC1: war and warfare
OC2: weapons

It's not the same and it irks me. Thanks.

[–] CptBread@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Agreed, though for me I'm fine with adding war, it's close enough to warfare.

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

I think it actually implies the existence of mechanical women, aerodynamic women, thermodynamic women, ceramic women and computer women.

Some people do wear you down.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've studied womanfare on the frontlines. I can tell you that women never change.

[–] agentshags@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago

I hope they at least change on laundry day!

[–] Prikkeres@feddit.nl 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I’d identify as a ballistic woman.

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

you have a large mass and move at high speeds?

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It's not the mass, it's the curvature of the curve they are undertaking ...
(I'm guessing, not trying to speak for them)

One Two Three Four

I declare a thumb Woman

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

What of the Mother Of All Women??

the only time that the concept of "biological woman" matters is when you want to make children. every other time it just plainly doesn't matter.

Women of conquest.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 months ago

Ranged Women and Martial Women too

[–] Pman@lemmy.org 4 points 4 months ago

There's also trade women, and economic women for less destructive solutions.
