  • Lacking female genitals. (from Phrontistery)

    May 22, 2008

  • This is true of many, many men that I know. I'm going to accuse them of being agynary from now on. *rubbing hands in glee*

    May 23, 2008

  • Heehee.

    May 23, 2008

  • good one!

    May 23, 2008

  • I haven't got any on me, but I've got some at home.

    May 23, 2008

  • Does that make you transagynary?

    May 23, 2008

  • Nice try, dontcry, but it means I have my bride at home.

    May 23, 2008

  • She will probably be most interested to find out that her genitals actually belong to you. When you say you've got some at home, do you mean you have access to some at home? Or do you mean, you know, you have ... some kind of ... suit at home, that you can put on...?

    May 23, 2008

  • Your first comment doesn't quite make sense c_b. The definition is "lacking female genitals". Men don't have female genitals. Hopefully we wont have to link to photos to illustrate the difference.

    May 23, 2008

  • This page is beginning to scare me.

    May 23, 2008

  • Sometimes it's "okay" to be be scared, Resetee! Heh, this topic is kind of like emasculation for women...

    May 23, 2008

  • Remember, at a certain early point in the womb, everybody's got the same genitals. You know: origenitals.

    May 23, 2008

  • You mean we all have to share?

    May 23, 2008

  • Oroboros, that gives a whole new meaning to orogeny!

    May 23, 2008

  • Palooka: Yes, I know. The idea was that the word's definition implies an incompleteness. Since men do not have female genitals, I was implying that they are incomplete. It's really much less funny when I have to explain it.

    May 23, 2008

  • Nah. It's still funny. :-)

    May 23, 2008

  • "Agynary People" -- coming soon to a theater near you!

    May 23, 2008

  • My car is agynary. Except when I'm carrying female passengers.

    May 23, 2008

  • Slight correction, chained_bear. They belong to both of us. And access is not always guaranteed!

    And thanks for the comment - you did not disappoint.:-)

    And not sure about the suit idea. Wouldn't work for me, anyway, all mine are single-breasted.

    May 23, 2008

  • Well, this bear is glad she's married to someone else then. I think it would be mighty weird to have to say my genitals belong partly to someone else. They're mine, dammit. If I want to grant access, that's one thing, but they don't belong to anyone but me.

    *standing up for genital rights*

    May 24, 2008

  • Really. This is one scary-ass page.

    May 24, 2008

  • And all because gangerh is agynary and covets someone else's genitals. Get your own, man!!

    May 24, 2008

  • Slight correction, chained_bear. They don't partly belong to someone else, even privately partly. They wholly belong to to both of us. When you belong to each other, you don't exclude certain parts. And do two genital rights make a genital wrong?

    May 24, 2008

  • Let's see, we lack female genitals, we lack breasts. No wonder men start so many wars! We have such an emptiness, such a sense of lack inside.

    May 24, 2008

  • Palooka, the fact that I'm not visiting Wordie doesn't authorize you to say we lack breasts. (See press here for a random word.)

    May 24, 2008

  • Not authorized? I thought I was authorized to speak for all the males on Wordie, Prolagus. I'm sort of like a Wordie Advocate General for Male Affairs. Let's beat our chests (not our breasts) & declare our male sense of dignity.

    May 24, 2008

  • Or even indignity.

    May 24, 2008

  • Here's my take on the feelings about agynary, for what it's worth:

    c_b, you are hysterical (no pun intended) and accurate.

    gangerh, you are passionate.

    reesetee, you are easy-going and a little squeamish (and I love it).

    palooka, you are a peace-maker (and your name makes me think of bubble gum)

    whichbe, you are prolific (in general)

    pro, you are missed...

    May 24, 2008

  • Oh, yes, I'm smarmy and sarcastic -- but always in the name of good fun. Don't cry...

    May 24, 2008

  • Are you suggesting that I've a great fecundity?

    May 24, 2008

  • Which -- you have the greatest fecundity I ever have experienced. It wears me out!

    May 24, 2008

  • Fortunately men aren't the only ones missing genitalia. Women are anorchous.

    May 25, 2008

  • Not to worry, dontcry. I'm only mock-squeamish. Actually, genitals are a fascinating topic. :-D

    May 27, 2008

  • I see, r_t. I'll keep that in mind ;-)

    I often mock-full after boring dinner parties so I can get home and eat something that's actually palatable, made by a person who has a clue as to how to feed people (that would be me!).

    I mock-clueless a lot, too. You can learn quite a bit about people that way, I've discovered (and it's kinda fun!).

    May 27, 2008

  • In my therapy work, I've found having a poker-face and asking really naive questions can prove invaluable.

    May 27, 2008

  • Interesting analyses dontcry. I think I'm becoming to buffoonish lately.

    May 27, 2008

  • But, palooka, is buffoonish becoming to you lately?

    May 27, 2008

  • Buffoonish is very becoming to me gangerh. I even have buffoonish eyes. Buffoonery is something I was endowed with, a gift from birth.

    May 27, 2008

  • This words seems a place where you store female genitals, probably because it looks and sounds a bit like granary.

    May 27, 2008

  • I store my female genitals at home.

    May 27, 2008

  • That comment will go against the grained_bear.

    May 27, 2008

  • The difference, bilby, betweens agynary and a gynary, pray tell.

    May 27, 2008

  • Female genitals more or less store themselves, I'd say.

    May 27, 2008

  • Unlike male genitals which resist being stored.

    May 27, 2008

  • Palooka -- is it warm where you live? Just a guess.

    May 27, 2008

  • I reiterate my glad feelings that I'm not married to gangerh, and that my own soul mate doesn't think my genitals are his property. *nyah*

    P.S. palooka, you really are a scream. :)

    May 28, 2008

  • Thanks c_b. I admire your willingness to take a stand and defend it without flinching.

    May 28, 2008

  • Bears don't flinch, it messes their fur up for the rest of the day.

    May 28, 2008

  • Palooka, when it comes to genitals, it's very important never to flinch. You could mess something up pretty badly, particularly when you're talking about somebody else's.

    May 28, 2008

  • Yes, I'd imagine something would have to be pretty darn flinchworthy before that would happen.

    May 28, 2008

  • c_b, you may like this one.

    (Disclaimer: by clicking on this link you are accepting to read atheist satirical material).

    May 28, 2008

  • Wow. That kind of gets at my point in a really clear way. *thinks about enrolling in a school for making propaganda posters*
