What do you think of the word "unladylike"?

[Summer Hathaway]

318. It was most definitely a change of subject.

The OP was quite concise:

"What do you think of the word "unladylike"?

It had nothing to do with post-modernist theory examining language as a site of the production of power."

Nothing.

So I'll take that as a "No, I have nothing of substance to say on the topic-at-hand, so will instead talk about something else entirely."

"I find your excessively literal interpretation of OP's tiresome and short on insight."

As I always say, "words have meaning" - and if the OP's words lack meaning based on their literal interpretation, perhaps you should bring that up with the OP, instead of the people who responded to WHAT SHE SAID, as opposed to what you want everyone to believe she said.

Yes, I have spent a great deal of time talking about the word 'ladylike' - I don't know why I would do that, other than the fact that the OP was ABOUT the word 'ladylike'. I should have realized that what the OP was REALLY about was something else entirely, and required 'conceptual analysis" to be understood.

Giant fail there, BB. The OP says what it says. The fact that you can't address words as written, but have a need to change those words into something else entirely, is a pathetic excuse for having nothing of value to say.
