This is the moment a quick-thinking female Russian tourist took down a phone-snatcher in Argentina. Video posted by journalist Gonzalo Benitez shows the incident on November 9 when two thieves snuck up on the 33-year-old woman while she was on a bike waiting at a junction in the capital Buenos Aires. As they grab her device, she manages to wrestle one of them off the bike and hold him until Good Samaritans rush to her aid and help restrain him until the police arrive. Officers were also able to trace the offender who fled on the bike and discovered 10 cell phones at the property where he was arrested.

    If enough people use a word to mean something different from what it used to mean, it literally does change the meaning, (e.g. radical meaning ‘connected to a plant’s roots,’ the reason people say ‘transwomen are real women.’ etc.) but fair enough. Have a nice day.

      the reason people say ‘transwomen are real women.’

      Anthropologists changed the meaning of gender to refer only to the societal role and not biological sex. Not just from people using it that way, but from scientists who study humans. They needed that word because many societies have gender roles that aren’t strictly tied to sex.

      i will have a terrible day, you can’t tell me what to do.
