This thread wildly spiraled way off topic from what I think the OP intended and I'm getting the sense many are casting a lot of judgment when they're not really in a position given that we weren't there. People are more sensitive these days than before. You have Iraq and other war vets with PTSD sitting with college students and adults who go through PTSD from browsing MMM and Reddit and are offended when people use "spokesman" instead of "spokesperson". So you have to be very PC these days and give everyone their safe space.
And I'm pretty sure the OP was more focused on driving the women safely to their destination using the GPS than having the discussion in this thread going on in his head.
Even if you switched the roles, drunk male, female Uber driver, the male (man) still would've lost. Either way you're gonna get burned.
Actually I don't mind male and female, what I mind (and what I find to be common) is man and female. Which then implies (maybe subconsciously) that females are less than males because sex identification is normally limited to non-human animals.
I never heard man and female ever used together, wouldn't that be poor grammar? Man means male gender of homo sapiens sapiens. Female is female gender of any or all eukaryotic organisms. And most sentences wouldn't talk about male humans and female everything else, it just wouldn't come up. Unless in some bizarre situation an author had to exclude all female humans (women oh god don't hang me) I don't see how someone could possibly use man and female in a sentence. Never saw it, you have to remember Americans have on average a what, 4-5th grade reading level? I don't think many are bright enough to know how to write half the time. And female sounds too smart and scientific for most Americans. Maybe people in my area just see each other more as equals?
Unless of course an author meant to write man and female together but I don't know how it's derogatory? Unless it's derogatory to the writer's command of English? I get what you're trying to say but that's a lot of thinking that most wouldn't even realize it? Most Americans aren't thinking that much into
reading what they're reading.
Is he really a stand up guy? He didn't cheat on his wife. That makes him not awful in one aspect of his marriage (I can't speak to the rest of it, but I'm happy to give the benefit of the doubt), but he felt like he had to brag about it, which sort of cheapens it.
I get what you're saying but isn't this part of our culture? I can't point to a specific scene but I can easily imagine a movie or TV show where the husband eyes a beautiful woman and the wife with arms on hips or crossed glares at the husband (for some reason Everybody Loves Raymond comes to my mind idk why) and then you get *audience laughs* and next line of dialogue. So I can't really blame him if that's commonplace in our media. Not the bragging part but looking at others. I don't think he was bragging though, more like warning. Pick up your phone, be home on time, otherwise your girl will want to sleep with a random Uber driver. One incident not meant to apply to all women, maybe that's why he used female idk.
