Spokesman = Spokesfighter
i know it’s a meme, but “man” originally meant something like -person (though that was like 1,000 years ago).
that said, how about these
firefighter
mailhander
fisher
bootlicker
spokesperson
garbagergarbager
That would be you. The person emptying your trash bin should be called degarbager.
That’s pretty much how I’ve always used it. Still call all mailmen “mailmen” regardless of gender. I’m not sure how important any of this is to the average person (no one seems to care in my day to day life).
Policeman = Peoplefighter
Policeman = Domestic abuser by statistics.
I was just trying to follow their current pattern.
I believe Ryan North of Dinosaur Comics first made this joke, in 2013:

It has always stuck with me since.
MANKIND = FIGHTERKIND
hufighter
Fits in perfectly with my headcanon that we’re the real space orks all along
The only real other are the Tyranids and maybe the Necro, rest are based on different aspects of humanity like any other fantasy world
MANKIND = LICKERKIND
I mentally read all of these like I was the announcer from Super Smash Bros
How are police the bootlickers? Police are the bootwear-ers. They lick their own boots?
Those who support the fascist actions of the police are the bootlickers…
Boxer: Fighterfighter
Bouncer: Fightfighter
Teddy Bear: Frightfighter
I always find it extra funny when some communist (or themed account) calls police bootlicker.
Like, not implying the police not being bootlickers in most countries here, but of the countries where authoritarians are / were good at licking boots communist’ ones sure as hell are prominent in the top 10.
What do you mean. We had communism for 60,000 years here in Australia and we didn’t need cops at all until the white people came and started doing slavery. The cops were for catching slaves.
communist (or themed account)
What do you mean by this? There are many accounts here on Lemmy who defend authoritarian countries but scrolling through OPs posts, I don’t see any that would fit the description.
Communist is a word that can mean anything at this point so please be a little more precise and maybe backup your argument.
They meant the OOP account in the screenshot (8 Bit Communism).
Ok, that makes more sense. The hammer and sickle is a clear indicator. Thanks, now I get it.
There is no country authoritanism trend doesn’t touch. Soviets or Cuba are not the only models of communism. Far from it
are you calling me a tankie!?!?!
its because america spent years to confuse socialist/democratic/leftist… with the overarching evil and ominous communist (red scare)
so even the “left” thinking people confuse it
Isn’t communism a classless, stateless, moneyless gift economy?
And wasn’t the USSR the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics? As in, socialism (so-called), not communism?
And “social” algorithms once again reinforce that shit…
Seamstress - Seamfighter
Shaman = Shafighter
Fightress?
Garbageperson is a vibe tho
Incorrect, they’re people experiencing garbageness
Did Excel make this?
I’ve met female taxi drivers, female security guards, one female builder even, but I’ve never met a “garbage woman”. Maybe the nasty smell is just too potent? Women do have very strong noses. 🤔
And now you have
Stay strong and thank you for your service! 🫶
What service
By replying “And now you have” to a comment of someone saying “I’ve never seen a garbagewoman” you implied that you were a garbagewoman, so they thanked you for your service in waste disposal?
Sorry misunderstanding I’m a garbage woman not a garbagewoman
I see! Stay strong and thank you for your service! 🫶
You wouldn’t find the others a few decades ago and people came up with reasons why. Turns out they were wrong so maybe your reason is wrong as well.
I’ve met a garbage woman once. She didn’t work in waste disposal though.
Most of us dont
i assume it’s because it’s a job that requires a lot of manual labor something that would be hard for most woman since weaker muscles
Endurance tasks tend to be more suited towards women and you are supposed to not overload your garbage bins. Woman can be tough and a lot of men aren’t. I would expect stigma and expectations to be a bigger driver of gender imbalance.
A lot of people do report increased sensitivity to smell when switching to an estrogen dominated hormone balance, so there is that.
I’ve seen a couple in the UK. Driving the trucks and loading garbage bins onto the truck. Here they don’t have to carry the garbage, they roll the bin into position behind the truck. Still physically demanding, but not quite like carrying heavy garbage bags all day.
I think I have seen once in Belgium or somewhere in western Europe.
They exist, I lady a garbage lady for a while. My sister in law is head of collections for a large city. She doesn’t actually touch the garbage though.
