Get back in the shower and rethink why you felt the need to add “/womankind”

Not the things that happened on the other side of the earth from the moon...or inside under roofs.
Or behind cloud cover.

Good point. The moon would only be caught up every 12 hours. It’s like a tv show. Easy to catch up.
I thought because just mankind I’d have someone else say “ hey why didn’t u say womankind “
Seems like Better to say it then not I guess ?
"humanity"
If the moon "saw" a lot, imagine what the sun did in 4 billions of years.
Well, mankind already refers to Homo sapiens, but sure, there's always someone to take the "man" out of it...

Frequently, it is on the other side of the Earth, so people can do stuff in privacy.
But it was closer when there were dinosaurs. It had a better view!
[removed]
also very true
Humankind

If terrestrial bodies can see then I reckon the earth has seen more of what’s happened to us than the moon?
I don't think the moon has eyes or cares about anything we do. It also can only see one side, half the world is hidden from it at all times so half of human history is hidden as well.

We’d be out of focus for the earth. We’re too close to the surface. The moon has good perspective.
Don't be silly Grommit, the moon can't see a thing
its made of cheese
First of all, the moon doesn’t “see” anything. Second, it isn’t even visible at all times of the day in every area of the world, so if it could see, then there are still things happening on the other side of the world that is couldn’t “see”. Third, it can’t “see” what I’m doing when I’m in my house. Fourth, how fucking high are you right now? Fifth, don’t smoke in the shower.
We all know the moon isn't made of green cheese, but what if it was made of BBQ spare ribs?
Would you eat it then?

Huwomanity
The etymological root of "woman" is wife of man, so tripping over ourselves in the name of sensitivity isn't really accomplishing anything here. See also: person.
I quibble.
Moon out there being 2 Jupiter diameters away peering through its moonocle like, “heh? What’s going on over there”
The things that happen during daytime are not seen by the moon.
[removed]
Okay, that checks out. I always have trouble seeing things that are a few feet away but when they're 238,900 miles away it's like it's in 4K.
*Homokind
but that might mean something else.
OP making the classic mistake of coming back to the comments backpedaling
Mysterious as the dark side of…. The EAAARRRTTHHH
and completely leave out /animalkind and /plantkind. They are living on this planet too, you know!

Mankind: human beings considered collectively; the human race:
It’s perfectly acceptable to use “mankind” to refer all humans.
Well, yes.
[removed]
That is just false, you literally could fit all of the planets of the solar system in the space between the earth and the moon. We are not close.
[removed]
What’s wrong with Wensleydale?
We’ll, it might care. Oh right, no eyes or brain!
There are many bright sunny days where you can still see the moon in the sky
Heck I'm curious like a cat. I have a couple of friends that call me whiskers.
[removed]
The meaning of mankind: "human beings considered collectively; the human race."
Anyone who argues against it, feminist or not, is an idiot.
[removed]
I feel like this obvious post was only made to convey the word "Womankind"
The hell planet are you living on that the moon's constantly in your presence? What sorta Majora's Mask faffery is this?
... Yes. But...... So you think the moon just constantly stays in one position indefinitely? And that that somehow simultaneously makes it omnipresent?
LMAO, true or not, I really enjoyed this shower post.
"The moon has good perspective."
Yep, certified 20/20 vision.
[removed]
Okay but why is it a problem to use womankind?
[removed]
[removed]
[removed]
Because it’s a different word with a different meaning.
[removed]
Huwowomanity. Oh no, the recursion.
Though the may sound similar, they have different etymology and different meaning.
Just replace "mankind/womankind" with humanity. Don't make your phrases sound stupid.
There is a secret alien base on the moon from which they are observing us like in a zoo
[removed]
Nah. Just thought it was interesting. But guess not. Lol
The moon in majora’s mask used to freak the hell. outa me. What a great game.
Not really. Just chatting.
Exactly.
[removed]
Mankind doesn't mean males.
Are you under pressure from the feminists of this generation?
Nope Just didn’t want to be disrespectful.
disrespectful towards the feminists of this generation*

The word ‘man’ can be used for all humans, which is why we have words like mankind and not womankind
Not a problem but it’s similar to that guy saying Amen and Awomen
