"The single most important thing a man can do to be an ally is give his woman friends permission to give dudes at the bar his number so when they call he can angrily say that's not funny because she died 15 years ago that very night"

Here's how that would go:
"Hey, Alice, what's up, it's Mike from the party!"
"Alice? What do you mean alice, she di..."
[Thinking] "shit, that's a man's voice. Must be her boyfriend."
hangs up
I mean it still results in someone the girl didn't want to talk to not getting her number so I'd do it

Not sure why there's so much confusion over the use of woman vs. female. To my mind it's
"Alice is a woman, she is a female friend", not "Alice is a female, she is a woman friend".
(But even if you want to say 'woman friend', you'd then have to 'women friends' for the plural)
What the fuck did I just read?
Words forming sentences.
They say it don't be like it is, but it do.
I get it now but it should have said "when they call and mention her name".
The reason is that if any man were to call a number received by a female they were interested in and hear a mans voice they would hang up immediately unless they didn't respect themselves.
Not well.
Ridiculous.
Also, are straight people misappropriating the term "ally" now?
Yeah, that's not what misappropriation means. No one club gets to own a word in as common of use as ally. People have allys. Nations have allys. Various groups allys. You need to settle down and stop trying to own something nobody can own.
You do realize that no one is talking about the English use of the word here...
Again, I don't care what team/community/orientation/gender/race or even species you align with, you don't get to own the word. That's not how things work in any language.
We get it. You are slow.
Yes you are. You've picked a really stupid hill to die on here.
but hurry up and die already, would you?
Needed to get your alt downvoted some? Jesus, man, go back to reddit till you grow up a little.
Then why are you acting like one group of people is the only ones who get to use the term "ally"?
Ah yes, the super edgy fake leftist. It's been a while since I've seen one in the wild.
Geopolitics stole it, too!
Damn right!
those damn fake allies, secretly helping the nazis
I thought ally was an intersectional term? That is, it applies to support for any people with any characteristics that might be discriminated against.
Oh shut up
You first
Are you not aware that the word ally has been in use far longer than the contemporary connotation to which you refer has been around?
Shut up.
Suck my dick.
Hmm, I have a magnifying glass around here somewhere.
hahahahaha! thanks for the laugh.
