“Witch” is and will continue to be a gender neutral term.
Keep reblogging this- it’s helping gender nonconforming and male witches feel accepted in the community.
Witch is for girls…
Nope! Witch is gender neutral.
Uhm were you dropped a birth? It’s for girls.
Nope! Witch is a gender neutral term. Has been more most of the English language’s history too.
The Modern English “Witch” of course comes from the Middle English “Wicche.” The Middle English “Wicche” was, of course, a gender neutral version of the Old Englsh “Wicce” and “Wicca” – which were gendered. “Wicce” being the feminine form, and “Wicca” being the masculine.
You may recognize the masculine Old English word as it lends itself (albeit with a different pronunciation) to the most common form of modern day Witchcraft – the religion Wicca.
Outside of the Modern Witchcraft Movement, if we poke into history you’ll find that during the European Witch Trials men were tried as – you guessed it – Witches. While those trials did disproportionately women, that was mostly because of, well, western culture just hating women in general. Many men were also accused though, and when they were, they were called Witches.
So, y’know, it’s gender neutral.
(If you want to know how it ended up having pop culture gendered connotations in modern history, you can blame some shitty 19th century fiction writers)
Anyone with a brain knows Witch is for girls. Wizard or warlock is for men
Nope!
A practitioner of Witchcraft is a Witch regardless of gender.
Wizard actually originally meant philosopher, has a completely different etymology, and didn’t come to refer to a “magic user” until the 1550s – long after the word Witch was in common usage. It also is found primarily in fiction.
Warlock is a word meaning “oath breaker” (specifically breaking an oath to Jesus Christ) and didn’t start getting used for “Male Witches” until 19th century fiction. That fiction eventually entered the pop cultural consciousness – but those practicing Witchcraft have almost never actually used that word (save for a few who have decided to “reclaim” what they consider a slur).
Witch is gender neutral.
Giles Corey didn’t get crushed to death for this kind of discourse.
Especially when one party is a creepy ass “age play” blog.
“witch is for girls”
*gives full entymology of the word, proving it is gender neutral, gives examples throughout history of people using it in a gender neutral way*
“its for girls”
Sorry, witch is a gender neutral term and you can die mad about it.
“ Uhm were you dropped a birth? “ Nice ableism but that’s to be expected from a DDLGer.
Fetishization of pedophilia AND ableism? It’s more likely than you think
You ever read The Crusible? Yeah everyone is accused of being a witch. Giles Corey? Yup, man’s a Witch; John Proctor? He’s a Witch. Just because they were men didn’t mean they were ruled out as being Witches, it might have been less likely because back then everything revolved around the men owning everything but men were called Witches all the same when they were prosecuted.
But is it okay for those other terms to be used in certain situations (thinking of not just Dungeons & Dragons and its class system but also if real-life witches (at least ones not too into D&D to think the name you choose to call yourself depends on where your magic comes from) decide to follow the example of the incarnation of Morgan Le Fay that appeared on The Librarians and use a label that doesn’t have the gender baggage of “witch”)
I love this post more and more everytime I see it
Y’all know free condoms is a result of gay activists who worked towards safer sex practices after the AIDS crisis right? Because if not it’s one google search away
Consider: both are important and should be free
Consider: both are important and should be free
today i hung out w my 15 y/o brothers girlfriend and i jokingly was like “tell me embarrassing stuff about him” and she was like “ok. he has a piss kink” and was 100% serious and i almost crashed the fucking car
when youre laying down and your pet walks across your internal organs and youre like OW FUCK and they dont even care they just keep standing on your spleen like its their job
this is why i keep my skin closed at all times.
you….. you what
This is legitimately one of the funniest things I’ve seen in weeks.
No no you're missing the best part
Me, trying to fix any problem.
Am I wrong though?
*white parent voice* i cant believe kanye and kim named their baby North West!! thats ridiculous!! oh no, its almost 4:30, i need to pick up my kids Mackaylikiah and Ashleighyie from their water polo practice!
I always reblog this post so fucking fast every time it comes on my dash my phone shuts down the tumblr app and reboots
McKarty 64 is my favorite Mario Kart game.
My favorite part is that the blog post the photo was taken from detailed this mother’s decision-making process and chose this name because her husband saw it on a road sign on the way home
She named her daughter after a road sign
a road sign
there was a girl at my school called “zona” cause he parents went on holiday to spain and saw it and thought it was a nice name. IT LITERALLY MEANS ZONE
“47 month old”
this is my four year old rayman origins
“Who’s doing your surgery?”
“Dr. Rayman Origins.”
THE APP REBOOTED FOR ME!!
i met a kid once whose name was “Ryce” and his mum said it was pronounced “Reese”
the best part is she was originally going to spell it “Rice”
My auntie knows a family who decided to name their daughter Owen, but they spelled it “Oin” and they made her middle name the first sound that her big sister made which happened to be “Oogok”. her name is literally “Oin Oogok Puscus”
Oin Oogok Puscus is my favorite dwarf from the Hobbit
Yo I work at a rec center in a rich neighborhood and these are some real names of white children:
Salter Tryge (pronounced Trig) Loots Pocket Aughyst (pronounced August) Taileigh Lotiss Leviathin (yes spelled like that) Bacchus Daniyal (a girl, pronounced like Daniel)
All real
This shit is hilarious
@kaiiwooo
I can’t
47 month old.
Nayvie….. Bish whet????
this is from my kid’s valentine’s list this year like this corny fake unique name thing is no joke yall this is all of the boy names
47 month old.
I refuse to go on knowing someone named their child “Salter” I’m so done ✌🏿️
Treyton lls, I’m dying…
I know a person from college who’s name is literally “Smile”, l can’t even explain how ridiculous that is…
47 month old
47 month old
Damn suburban moms love to put unnecessary “Y’s” in names.
<b>47 month old<b/>
47 month old.
Somebody named their kid Pocket?!?!???
I am cry wheeze laughing at this post, and then when I got to the bottom I had apparently already hearted it at some point in its life?
Anyway, bless little Christopher’s parents. My god.
47 month old tho
One of the classes I subbed in had a kid named Glarison. I’m sorry, did you misspell Garrison?????
OMG IT IS BACK! I CAN FINALLY POST THE ASK I GOT ABPUT THIS!
I went to college and took religious studies courses with a girl named Storm Pagan. She never understood why I found that both funny and oddly appropriate, and I never felt like taking the time to explain.
for the love of your future children, look up what a name means in all languages before you saddle you kid with it until they’re old enough to legally change it.
I took latin in middle school. I don’t actually remember much now, but i’m telling you, it was IMPOSSIBLE to look this girl I knew in passing in the eye because her name was Latrina.
Latrina.
(For those of you who have no idea why this is unfortunate and hilarious, ‘latrina’ is one of the latin words for toilet)
What the fuck that even sounds like ‘Latrine’ like who looked at that name and went ‘what could possibly go wrong’
Kids I actually went to school with: Nipponia (Her parents were really enthusiastic about Japan and thought no one would know.) Foreverina Twins – Heavyn-Leigh and Eterni-Teigh Khayrliy (Carly) MyckEnziey (yes, spelled like that.) Every last one of them was white n blonde.
Naming your kids after gods seems like s BAD PLAN whether you believe in them or not. Especially Odin and Bacchus.
4 7 M O N T H O L D
I knew I pair of sisters named Chardonnae and Breane (nicknamed Brie). Fucking wine and cheese
Heavyn-Leigh and Eterni-Teigh ……. I???……what the fuck 😂😂😂
47 month old
Congrats to you for getting throught this post
Now I’m so fucking glad I’m named megan
This is why at the library I would make EVERYONE spell their name for me. Some white lady over 35: You want me to spell Linda Smith
Me: Lady, you don’t know my life. I have looked into the abyss.
Look, I like unique names, but not THAT unique
You know, I thought growing up as a Niamh in England was bad. I now know that I was blessed, BLESSED, to be given a name that 1) I grew into and now love, and 2) wasn’t just pulled off the nearest road sign and fed through a Scrabble converter.

I know so many kids with fucking weird ass names
I’ve met a kid named Battle. Literally. His name was Battle.
Battle?????
And people have the nerve to mock transgender folks’ self-chosen names! I promise you, ours are a breath of sanity compared to this bs.
And I thought the weird high dudes named Skyler, Tyler and Kyler were weird
You: Latrina?? How did that happen
Her: We changed it when I was little
You: You changed it to Latrina?
Her: Yeah!It used to be Shithouse.
You: It’s a good change…..it’s a good change.

My grandma was an advice nurse, and one time she got a call from a mom who named her kids lemon jello, and lime jello
……….cursed
i work as a teacher’s aide, and one of the kids that got really attached to me for some reason…. her name was Clotine. (Chlo as in Chloe. Tine like teen.)
this poor kid walkin up sounding like a fuckin prescription medicine
the most universally sacred childhood experience for milllenials was listening to breakaway by kelly clarkson as we dramatically stared out the window during long car rides
This is disturbingly true
i’m like heinz doofenshmirtz because i, too, like being petty, singing off-key, and over-sharing my deepest traumas for no discernible reason
I also think of myself as evil but am at best a minor inconvenience.
buses are so iconic they’re like “this little number tells you where I’m going hop on if you want idc” and everyone at the bus stop is like “wig”
were really running out of posts to make huh
Every girl has had the experience where a creepy guy asks for our number and we don’t want to give it to him, but we also don’t want to get gutted in a back alley. “Give him a fake number!” I hear you call, okay and then he says “okay let me call you real quick!” Because they are learning. “Give them your number and then block them!” Okay and then they can plug it into something like Spokeo, pay $10 and know everything about you. So what do you do?
First pick a fake name, I use Jessica, then download the Google Voice app, hook it up to your email, pick a number, and set up a fake greeting with your fake name. You can set it to ring your actual phone like a normal call or text but they don’t have real info on you.
Go forth and don’t get murdered, ladies!
Everyone reblog this post.
im sorry but WHOSE mans is this
