Poll of the Day > Do you consider the term "breedable" offensive?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm not asking if women like being called breedable (I haven't had luck so far), I'm just asking if the term is inherently misogynistic.

no

and yes.

i wouldn't consider it anywhere near normal, but anyone who might say it's offensive is probably stupid.

I thought about this some more.

Yes, it is probably offensive to approach a stranger and compliment them on being breedable during introductions.

I dont go nutting into every nook and cranny. So if I say a woman is breedable, that means her English Muffin is of the highest quality.

Most of the time I hear it used online it's used to refer to men, so that would sort of be counter-intuitive.

Please post topics like this on CE where they're always horny wtf is this

Is "breedable" offensive to women, or is it like saying hot/sexy?

You asked 2 questions... So, yes mean it's one or both of those. No means it's neither of them.

My understanding is it's slang for "You look so good, I would have sex without protection with you"

In the answer to the topic title I don't at all. However I would never make such a comment to someone who is pregnant because that's just weird.

I can see how it could be offensive.

its kind of a gross way to describe someone

As a public usage, the term might be offensive, as in it's one of those words no reasonable person should say in ear's reach of other people. In a more intimate setting, it comes down to consent, like so much else. Just as there are some folks out there who like being called "bitch" or "slut" at the right time or place, when they're in the mood for it, I imagine "breedable" is another such word they have to want to allow it.

Yall need to get off the internet. Probably for good.

It's a weird term, but it applies to both genders -- and, honestly, the underlying portion of the remark (even when that term isn't used) might apply more to women evaluating men. So, while there are a lot of good reasons to not use it, misogyny might not be one of them unless there's some weird context you're using it in at which point any word could be considered misogynistic or misandrist.

Men are "put out to stud"

Inherently offensive? No, if you consider the long history of courting being with the implied intention of marriage and child-rearing. Saying someone is breedable would be the most blunt observation of that whole process, since naturally people were looking for that quality in others.

But I wouldn't open with it, slick.

Shocking literally no one. Not even babies that have no concept of what you're trying to convey.

I don't know if "offensive" is the right word, it's just creepy and gross. Anyone that would use that word unironically would probably strike me as being a sociopath.

kinda stupid to bring it into your common vernacular unless you are specifically operating within a kink-oriented relationship where you've discussed a partner's turn-ons that may include breeding. it's like idiot weeaboos that think it's appropriate to use Japanese honorifics willy-nilly. nah bruh, it's gross. it's a fine line.

I mean really, it's like asking if the word 'fuck' is appropriate or offensive. It has a high likelihood of being inappropriate/offensive, unless you're using it with a trusting person or in a appropriately descriptive way.

Breed me zaddy

Depends. If a woman is trying to be very flirtatious or sexual then it might be received as a compliment. If its said about a women that is just existing, then yeah that might offend.

It seems like it would be unwise to use in real life lol

Until today I've only heard this term used in reference to Pokemon breeding

Whoa, the incel is strong in this topic.

This sounds about right. I don't know if "offensive" is necessarily the right word, but you've got a very high chance of making somebody feel uncomfortable if you say "I want to impregnate you" without establishing enough of a relationship for that to be appropriate. Offensive or not, that's just really weird.

Not so much offensive as creepy and gross

I thought the term was "submissive and breedable" and I've only ever heard it used to refer to men

Depends on the woman. I know women who openly talk about sex and it doesn't phase them but I also know women who take offense to sexual conversations so it depends on that particular woman.

Some people are stiff when it comes to talking about sex because for the longest time in America, it was frowned upon women speaking openly and casually about sex and enjoying it.

Sex in America at one time was thought of as a dirty thing and in some ways, it still is.

"Breedable" goes beyond simply talking about sex or attractiveness, though, and instead is assessing the person based purely on their reproductive value. Taking issue with that isn't a matter of puritanism, it's a matter of not liking being seen as nothing more than a source of gametes. Some people enjoy being objectified/degraded like that, and in those cases it's perfectly fine (virtually anything is perfectly fine if you've got consent from the affected parties), but if you haven't been invited to do so or established enough of a relationship to know that it's okay, you shouldn't be surprised by people not liking it.

Only in the sense of heterosexual relationships. When Non-straight guys talk about it, its about unprotected sex where you finish inside

How Babby is formed

Submissive And Breedable refers to a viral tweet posted in June 2021 that received significant spread as a copypasta and catchphrase, often attached to image macros, starting that month. The phrase gained significant popularity on Instagram and Twitter. The phrase Submissive and Breedable Oomfie also gained significant traction at this time. It is meant as an absurd term of endearment.

On June 23rd, 2021, Twitter[1] user @T4RIG posted, "normalize platonically telling your bros they look submissive and breedable " (shown below). The post gained over 92,000 likes and 12,200 retweets in five days.

Doesn't seem offensive?

Its not about talking about sex, its weird dudes trying animal-ize women.

In which case it's just a poor understanding of biology, but also still leaning toward the objectifying/degrading end of things (which, again, is fine with consent, and just creepy and weird without it).

Mostly it would be offensive if you were good enough to be breedable but not good enough to be hot or sexy.

Offensive? No.

A dumb thing to call someone. 100%.

There's a bit of a difference between just posting regularly and necro-bumping multiple topics, imo.
