Without realizing it, the pro-deathers and the police together end up closing the clinic down, thus preventing aboritons on that day, all to avoid violence!

1995 February 21, Angie Miller, “Church Will Always Have PR Problems with World”, in Liberty Champion, Lynchburg, Virginia, retrieved 2022-11-19, page 13:

Recently our local abortion rights fund received a piece of mail enjoining “pro-lifers” to “attack” abortion providers and other “peddlers of death. . . . When we shoot, we should aim for the lower spine and the buttocks. At this time we probably don’t need to kill to discourage some pro-deathers from implementing their agenda.”

nipple confusion

en-noun

nipple confusion (usually uncountable, plural nipple confusions)

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-nipple confusion.wav

The midwives and breastfeeding consultants that I saw scared me with stories of nipple confusion, so I was reluctant to try a bottle too early. This led to my baby refusing a bottle and, later, breast milk from a cup.

2017 March 28, Carmen Fishwick, “'An unrealistic pressure': mothers on what it's like to breastfeed”, in The Guardian:

The situation in which an infant has difficulty in switching between feeding on maternal nipples and artificial nipples (such as feeding bottles or pacifiers), often resulting in ineffective sucking or refusal to breastfeed.


nipple-confused

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-nipple-confused.wav

(of an infant) Affected by nipple confusion; having difficulty in switching between feeding on maternal nipples and artificial nipples.


ancient marineress

ancient marineress (plural ancient marineresses)

A reference to The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1798) by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, in which an old mariner corners a reluctant wedding guest to tell a story of a horrific voyage.

Further than this mystic demonstration none of them had gotten, so far, for Mrs. Parker kept her glittering eye on them like an Ancient Marineress and “The boldest held his breath for a time!”

1879 March 5, [Rose Terry Cooke], “Dr. Parkers’ Patty”, in Nanaimo Free Press, volume V, number 92, Nanaimo, B.C.:

Here’s to the health of my respected ancient mariner-ess—a veritable old maid, all forlorn, whose legacy is a long time coming, but sure to get here some time.

1881 October 14, “Aunt Sarah’s Fortune”, in Valley Sentinel, volume 18, number 23, Carlisle, Pa., page 1:

“I’m all ready,’ announced the fluffy haired girl just then, thrusting the last long pin through her new hat. “So am I,” said the sallow young woman. “But the ancient marineress here—” “Sit down,” commanded the philosopher.

1904 June 18, “The Girl Philosopher”, in Marion Daily Star, volume XXVII, number 173, Marion, Ohio, page six:

Two humorous numbers were given. One by Mr. G. C. Donovan, Lexington, N. C., which was entitled, Breakers Ahead, and in which he depicted Elon life and society in the year of grace 1950. The other was an original impersonation by Esmond R. Riedel, Holland, Va., to which he gave the title, The Ancient Marineress. It was a graphic portrayal of one of our “evening sisters” making her maiden voyage to London.

1917 March 1, The Herald of Gospel Liberty, volume CIX, number 9, page 212 (20):

But now it’s Shirley finally making her film debut as the slattern looking for her lost youth in “Come Back, Little Sheba” for Hal Wallis and she’s hailing the advent with: “The ancient marineress finally arrives in Hollywood.[…]”

1952 February 25, Daily News, number 17,821, Los Angeles, Calif., page 17:

The worst of this lot of frustrated authors was a trembling old woman who insisted that he must read her manuscript immediately or it would be stolen by her enemies. . . . Unable to shake off this Ancient Marineress, he took her into his office, opened the huge ribbon tied manuscript, and found only blank pages.

1953 April 19, Fanny Butcher, “The Literary Spotlight”, in Chicago Sunday Tribune, volume CXII, number 16, part 4, page 11:

But an hour later we observed what emphatically was a figure, seated under a bush with some camels round it. Hussein and I trotted over. It was an old, old woman, an Ancient Marineress of the desert, and she was cracking lice in the head of a small boy wrapped in a goatskin.

1956 August, “Cave-Paintings and Camels”, in Blackwood’s Magazine, volume 280, number 1690, Edinburgh, London: William Blackwood and Sons Ltd, page 139:

Jenny has the reputation of being an “ancient marineress”[…]

For her part, as Ruth navigates her way through public readings, interviews and a cranky widow who keeps popping up like an unwelcome Ancient Marineress, she is, as Irving puts it, “almost pathologically afraid of her readers, because she’s associated all of them with the potential that lurks in her most obsessive and crazed fans.”

1998 June 7, Mark Rozzo, “The Writing Racket”, in Newsday, volume 58, number 278, page B11:

The latter had likewise been seduced by the Professor—likewise summarily dumped—and wished to revile the P. with some other local Ancient Marineress who might lend a sympathetic ear.

2010, Terry Castle, “The Professor”, in The Professor and Other Writings, Harper, →ISBN, page 288:

“Your father was the best baseball player anyone had ever seen.” Excited but halting, her voice ran on past all obstacles. “We watched him play shortstop, and my father said he was the best, and my brothers too. The Cardinals sent a man down to talk to him about one of their teams.” Like an ancient marineress, she would not let go. She meant the St. Louis Cardinals’ farm teams.

2016, Mike Westphal, Cloud of Expectation; Book One: The In America Series, Xlibris, →ISBN:

An old woman who bears some resemblance to Coleridge's Ancient Mariner, especially one who has an unfortunate history or insists on telling her story.

gendie

dysphoria can come from the distress of not having a choice in the matter of being seen as female; hearing the “wrong” pronouns certainly doesn’t help dysphoric ppl when they’re taught by gendies that pronouns matter more than they do in terms of gender/how ppl see you

once you try to honestly engage with gendies it becomes painfully clear that they do not think women are oppressed. even if they do point to some kind of oppression, it is usually like "men say nasty things on tinder" and like five of them will say "child marriage"

it’s funny when a gendie tells me to go outside as if people outside believes in infinite genders and males becoming women

Gendies are so American/Western centric.
Y'all in the quotes saying "womanhood has never included you, let it go"
Well explain fgm? Explain breast ironing? Mutilation done to women in the name of ritual, cos we're believed to hold special powers in our vagina. Explain that too!!

every time a gendie posts a picture of a random famous male and captioning it with “gender” i feel literally ILL like what the hell is that supposed to mean 😭 is gender just aesthetic and vibes to them?

noun-self pronoun (plural noun-self pronouns)

Fae is an example of a “noun-self'” pronoun. […] Noun-self pronouns are often common amongst people who identify with xenogenders (see definition above, under X terms), but can be used by anyone.

2021, MSU Pride Community Centre 2STLGBQIA+ Handbook, page 15:

Noun-self pronouns can refer to animals—so your pronouns can be “bun/bunself” and “kitten/kittenself.”

2021 May 1, Ezra Marcus, “A guide to neopronouns”, in Honolulu Star-Advertiser, 140th year, number 90, page 8:

Other neopronouns are “noun self-pronouns,” where a word that already exists is adapted as a pronoun.

Noun-self pronouns can reflect a person’s connection to nature, fandom, or other interests, and are highly individualized.

2022 January 25, Saskia Kirkegaard, “Why Being In Your 'Fleabag Era' Isn't A Flex: The Romanticisation Of Women's Suffering On TikTok”, in That's What She Said:

A cheekily named “era” undercuts whatever hardship gives it shape: Why say you’re overwhelmed by grief, money troubles or loneliness (sad, embarrassing) when you could be in your “Fleabag era” (chic, cool)?

2003 December, Roberta Mock, “Heteroqueer Ladies: Some Performative Transactions between Gay Men and Heterosexual Women”, in Feminist Review, volume 75, number 1:

See Mock (2003) and Zita (1992) for interesting pieces on male lesbians and heteroqueer ladies – individuals who are attracted to members of the opposite sex, but feel as though they “should” be members of the opposite sex with same-sex sexual desires.

2009, Nicole Hagan Wolensky Civettini, "Same-Sex Unions: Do Theories of Marriage Apply?", thesis submitted to The University of Iowa, page 18

Roberta Mock presents Midler as a camp heteroqueer lady and reminds us of the fact that Michael Bronski described Midler as a “female female impersonator” (Bronski 1984: 107).

heteroqueerness

Robert Heasley has begun to address the notion of heteroqueerness as it pertains specifically to the male subject. His paper focuses on a typology of men who perform queer masculinities and also identify as straight.

2015, Jamie Lee Coull, "Faux Queens: an exploration of gender, sexuality and queerness in cisfemale drag queen performance", thesis submitted to Curtin University, page 45

On this occasion, I will bring to the fore one example related to the homo-trans*- revolution sequence, and its flipside in the concealment of “homonormativity”, and another that expresses the hetero-cis-repression series and occludes the potential of heteroqueerness.

2017, Moira Pérez, "The Sex-Gender Revolution Series", Revista Estudos Feministas, Volume 25, Number 2, May-August 2017, page 437

She [Roberta Mock] defines queer as the ‘politics of the liberation of desire’ (2003, 23) and I would contend that heterosexual women who actively express a lack of desire to reproduce performing heteroqueerness.

2021, Lo Cathryn Lanfear, "Navigating gender diverse worlds assembled upon binary expectations: Investigating the experiences of trans people living in Britain", thesis submitted to University College London, page 122

This study points to the necessity of “coordinated steps to create gender-inclusive classrooms and schools [that] are taken proactively” (Luecke, 2018, p. 281) to ensure that white cistemic barriers are proactively acknowledged and confronted.

2023 May 3, “North Carolina House OKs Ban on Transgender Youth Surgeries”, in U.S. News & World Report:

We stress that reconstructive breast surgeries and testicular implants are gender-affirming interventions—rather than interventions provided through a generic form of respect for persons—because gender is a morally significant, social category that shapes how individuals regard themselves and understand each other.

2023 June 7, “Gender-Affirming Care for Cisgender People”, in Hastings Center Report, →DOI:
