The word Dominatrix now makes sense to me. It’s such a neat word. I never thought of the male equivalent being simply a Dominator.
I don’t think a dominatrix is for kids though.
I hope not
Kristanna Lokken is: The Terminatrix
Yeah, she was called that in the movie. Summer Glau never was, but that’s probably because they never actually said “Terminator” in that show due to rights issues, always calling them “machines” or “metal” or referring to them by model number.
So they were only allowed to use Terminatior in the show title?
Yeah. IP rights agreements are weird.
Neat call out, but what other modern examples are there?
“Bigger and bolder and rougher and tougher In other words sucker, there is no other…”
I don’t get the reply
Silly rabbit
Still don’t really get it
“You come into my house” and (insert thing that offended you) in this case setting up a post which gave you some interesting information only to pull out the rug with a pun referencing a commercial many 90s and 00s kids had seen ten million times.
thanks for the explanation, now I can be sure this isn’t funny
Happy to help.
so what commercial was it ? I can’t be sure it’s worth it but I feel I have to know now… I’m invested in understanding this
There were a lot of them:

The Tor browser can be used to access the dark web. Normal browsers, such as Firefox or Chrome don’t have the correct protocol to access the onion network.
Trix are for kids, was part of an advertising campaign for Trix cereal in the U.S.
Lmao it has nothing to do with the Tor browser.
It’s that the -tor suffix applies to men and women. A female pilot is not an aviatrix anymore, she’s an aviator.
That didn’t occur to me. Thank you!

What is the matrix?
The feminine form of the mator obvs
Git er dun
The masculine form of matrix would be pater, because matrix translates as mother, or more specifically, uterus.
Tom mater
Mater, meaning mother. Making it feminine implies it’s the mother of the mother, i.e. the womb.
The OP pic is suuuper misleading. It didn’t keep the suffixes (sufficies), it kept the whole words if they were loaned. The suffices were never applied to any other gendered loan words.
The loan words with this suffix remain in use.
I know I wasn’t the only person who expected some transphobic shit and was pleasantly surprised.
And don’t words that end in -ix get pluralized with -ices? So you’d have Aviatrices, Dominatrices and Gladiatrices. I need some of these I can use in real life, dammit!
cockatrix (cockatrices) is usable… maybe
Cockator.
How do all the -ix names from asterix and obelix fit into this?
They’re french…
That’s Panoramix’s fault. Or maybe Gettafix…
Well, first of, a lot of Keltic romanized names end in -ix. ( https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/780hf9/asterix_and_gaulish_names/ )
And that was enough for the writers to go go on a punny tangent with names that end on -ixe or -isk (idee fixe, asterisk)
… Bro
The amount of fumbling people trying to interpret this meme is only akin to the followers of brian in life of brian! This tumblr’s shall be hailed both as a prophet of gender affirmation and as a lowly scum trying to dive in the depths of depravity that is the dark web. A genuine point of contention. I am truly amazed!
I’m pretty sure the closest thing ancient Rome had to an aviator was the drunk who fell asleep in the siege catapult.
we can all agree that whatever trix is it is NOT for rabbits.
so the omnitrix is a girl
starts stopwatch
Trix is for women
Silly Tumblr… Trix is for kids.
Did you reach the end of the text in the first post?
Oh that got me good.
I’m watching Netflor
Neftrix is for women.
