I much prefer “lilliputienne”.

German doesn’t seem to like double consonants like those in “Lilliput.” Their words for male and female inhabitants of Lilliput are Liliputaner and Lililputanerin.

I bought the first hard copy of Milo Manara’s Gulliveriana I came across, which was in France. When Gulliveriana finally has her big disagreement with the Empress of Lilliput, she calls the latter a “Lilliputasse.”

@wompwomp5566 I never heard of such a concept, but I like it. I hope to use this in my art.

Jude Doyle goes into much greater detail and has some important insights here.

This Is How You Lose the Sex Wars

Trying to pick a pathway through forty years of the ugliest conflict in feminism.

This is a nice reflection and really highlights the complexities of reconciling seemingly very polarised perspectives. It’s possible, and I think a lot of people overthink it. But also very difficult especially with so much distraction (sometimes intentional, sometimes not) from larger systemic issues, and social contexts constantly in flux.

@i-am-insane All of the above. I am greedy. 😝 It honestly depends on my mood, or sometimes I will really like an idea and dwell on it for a while.

I will say that I like certain personalities for certain types of giants. For crueler I like them to be playful, arrogant, and enjoying themselves. For gentler I like the giant to be more cautious and the tiny to be more assertive. Unaware can go either way for me, as long as the giant ends up becoming aware of the tiny eventually.

@TakoAlice8 we are just microbes on a petri dish of the universe

Thanks everyone for the kind comments.

@TakoAlice8 Oh, cool to see some overlap between sites.

@TakoAlice8 oh yeah, it’s hard not to think about skyscraper sized dudes when walking through a crowded city. It’s a great reference point for my imagination.

@tiny-ivy Where did you post the fairy story, would love to read it ❤️

(Edit: found where the story is posted 😆 )

They broke the rules but as far as I can tell it hasn’t effected any one else at this point so unless someone comes forward to put in a complaint I see no reason they can’t stay. Plus they seem genuinely remorseful for what they did so I’m leaving it up to them to decide what happens or until something more develops

It was a wonderful time and great to meet you Olo!

Hope to see others at the next one 🙂 We need more M/f!!!

The next one is online and in August!

@TakoAlice8 I’ve joined! It’s still in its early stages, but it seems like lots of people are involved in helping it ramp up. I’m optimistic of its growth 🙂

Not a site per se, but some of Lee’s short SW stories are amongst my favourite :

@tiny-ivy Oh you didn’t invalidate me, that could be a possibility :sizeprideheart:

@Olo I don’t know if this actually works as the longer version, but I think I might vibe with something along the lines of “shrunken woman lovers.” I dunno, for me personally, “shrunken womanizer” feels like it applies more to the person wanting to shrink the women and possibly excludes the shrunken women themselves? But I’m also putting waaay more thought into it since you asked (and I might be getting overly sensitive about having felt kinda excluded from certain SW spaces in the past) - I don’t know if I have that much of a preference.

And I need to hop on Bluesky at some point it sounds like! I never got Twitter and the more time passed the more I felt it might be foolish to do so. 😅

Oh, haven’t seen this before, 6’1.
