Cambridge dictionary drops new definition of the word ‘woman’

[Coconutmeg]

It’s quite long to get in a t -shirt though.

That’s appalling. Just looked up female ….. 😯

So many wankers

Sexist twattery.

Is there a new definition of "drop"?

Fuckwittery

By drops you mean 'provides' as in 'drops in' as opposed to the more commonly understood 'leaves out' or 'no longer uses?'

So most of us are now 'people formerly known as women' and not woman because most cunty types don't identify as women?

Bloody ridiculous but at least they have done the same to the definition of man.

The modern use of 'drops' in this situation proves why language is so important!

I had thought the OP meant they had removed it, not added it.

what a joke.

Disgusting

I misunderstood as well, I initially thought it meant they had ditched a new definition.

Doh of course. That is open to misinterpretation. I mean as in ‘put out’ online (like Netflix or drop box)

Come now, OP! Words have meanings

I really shouldn’t have said ‘drop’

Ffs. I want out of this shit show😫 I can't and don't want to keep up. 🙈it such a minefield. I hope work dont ask us to say what pronoun we prefer

Ah the ambiguity of all these words!!

It's a dictionary. It aims to reflect how language is used. People do use the word "woman" in that way. So they put it in the dictionary.

Only a tiny minority use it in that way

What else would you expect from Cambridge when they can’t even list the cases for a Latin noun logically?

'may have been said to have'.... dictionaries are supposed to be the source of clarity...

That's not the Cambridge dictionary. The Cambridge dictionary would know that 'Mary' takes a capital M.

I would conjecture that most people (99.99%) still use the word woman in the ‘adult human female’ meaning.
but then what do I know just being a middle aged adult human female myself ….

Is this real?? Mary isn’t even capitalised!

Where is this from, OP? Do you have a link?
