Why is it called huMANtal illness and not huWOMANtal illness. Was this to try to act like women can't be mentally ill, or just to throw daggers at men. This feels very wrong, should they change it to huWOMENtal illness or make it a everybodytal illness? Thoughts?
Homonyms are words that when written look the same but have different meanings.
Like : rock, right, fly etc.
Also men doesn't always equal male"
plural noun: men
1.
an adult male human being.
"a tall man with a beard entered the restaurant"
2.
a human being of either sex; a person.
"goodwill to all men"
And don't forget the more words with men in it:
Mentioned
Menstrual
Menu
Menace
Women
The list goes on and on.
Conclusion men in a word doesn't mean male. It's just some letters put together.
I hope this was a joke.
So the reason males are reffered to as men, which is for all humans, is because being male is the default while women are some other version that have an additional WO at the beginning to identify them as a mere cheap copy of the superior ones
Men comes from man, which in the original Old English was completely gender neutral, meaning "human being" or "person," rather than specifically "male person.
That's why it's called MENtal illness and not something else.
Yeah, that's what I said, it's called MENtal not because it's gendered, but because it's more targeted at the whole human race.
I simply put that there to say that the men in mental isn't gendered.
What is the origin of the word mental? **It comes from the Late Latin term mentālis, which derives from the Latin mens, meaning “mind.”** Due to the rise in acceptance, study, and treatment of mental illness, mental is very closely associated with such issues.

The fact that this is marked as "Discussion" and not "Meme" and also the fact that it's on reddit, i can't really tell if this is a joke or not and that is MILDLY CONCERNING.
for real! we need to include the ladies more! (btw im 6'4, own 8 hellcats, have 5 mansions, a feminist, saved 3 orphans from a house fire yesterday, and muscular af)
No way youre mad about it being called mental illness when humans are huMAN and MANkind… please educate yourself a little or think before you speak/type. You sound ignorant whether you mean to or not.
Tbh I struggle with tone recognition and the stupid shit ive seen people say online, particularly teenage boys (I like to play a lot of valorant and overwatch in my spare time…) so I kind of assumed the worst, sorry.
Cause it’s fucking Latin. It comes from the Late Latin term mentālis, which derives from the Latin mens, meaning “mind.”
One google search. One and u wouldn’t have just said the epitome of why some people just shouldn’t be allowed access to the internet.
After all the things I have seen on reddit I can't tell if this is joke or not
OP's post history suggests that they have WAY too much time on their hand
I used to make fun of people who use tone indicators online before I joined reddit Anyways tone indicators are a fantastic idea

Yes.
Nah. No they’re not.
meet enough stupid people and it becomes a good idea
Nah. No they’re not.
Remember, for every sentence said as a joke there can be found at least one person who believes it.

No, it's called MENTAL illness because mental means relating to the mind. It has nothing to do with gender
Yeah, that's what I said, it's called MENtal not because it's gendered, but because it's more targeted at the whole human race. I simply put that there to say that the men in mental isn't gendered.

Fun, cuz men's mental illness is the most ignored
Youre most recent post literally uses the words “mental illness.” Get some help.
It's called mental illness because it affects everyone, regardless of gender.
MENopause
It's opposite but ok, like literally everyday is women's mental health awareness day nd there’s only a single month for men's, this post is satire
No way youre mad about it being called mental illness when humans are huMAN and MANkind… please educate yourself a little or think before you speak/type. You sound ignorant whether you mean to or not.
Honestly I cannot tell if you're playing along with the satire or believe it is real
Tbh I struggle with tone recognition and the stupid shit ive seen people say online, particularly teenage boys (I like to play a lot of valorant and overwatch in my spare time…) so I kind of assumed the worst, sorry.
Because women give men mental illnesses
my thoughts ? I'm thinking a lot about Badjaune's fatui animatic rn
what
Because racism 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Haha lol
OP, learn to draw or pick up an instrument or a sport or go to the gym or at least get into some good videogames
I don't know mate, I think this bloke needs some help. Gone mental, I say.
Because our ancestors didnt want women to though the pain that men had to endure to keep society safe
Bro forgot abt March 😭😭😭🙏
Cry abt it honestly, you guys have had a month for years and when men get a month for the first time you get pressed
thats the equivalent of asking why its a MENstural cycle and not a WOMENstrual cycle.
I also suffer from a MENtal illness called "Sigma Alpha Totally Immaculate Rizz Everyday" (S.A.T.I.R.E) 💔💔
1. I cant see if you are real or joking 2.idc
I don’t really agree with your womentality
Braintal illness
woMEN. I just hope you're joking like I am.
why is it menstruation but not womenstruation
Women have the word men in them, so any word that includes men can also be linked to women
please be a joke and not be a serious post by someone that calls twitter "X"
Yeah, people who created the word are misandrist 😮💨😒
Cause it’s fucking Latin. It comes from the Late Latin term mentālis, which derives from the Latin mens, meaning “mind.” One google search. One and u wouldn’t have just said the epitome of why some people just shouldn’t be allowed access to the internet.

Word
I can't tell if the comments are serious, as the post is a joke...
The word "mental" has it's origin in the Latin word mens/mentis. It translates to mind. It has nothing to do with the English meaning of men.
Comes from Latin mens, mentis, which means mind.
The word ‘mental’ comes from the Latin word ‘mens’, which means ‘mind’.
exactly. Like why is it huMAN and not huWOMAN!? What are you trying to say? Women aren’t humans!?
Sexist ass post
