Trying to change the name to something silly like "negative" just is not going to fly with me, or any other serious collector.

I think you're taking this way too seriously. You're acting like the "snowflakes" you likely decry on a daily basis.

That being said, I have to laugh when Jody over at JOMW goes through the verbal gymnastics of saying "inverted midlink of the endlink." I'm guessing his wife found the terminology "gross" and forced him to come up with a different term lest he be exiled to the couch.

 

Forget gender neutral, I want gender fluid endlinks so I don't have to adjust the bracelet when my wrist swells and contracts.

 

IBTL

 

They still use 'Male' and 'Female' in the UK, when it comes to two bits of metal that 'mate'. Funnily enough I just bought a new mixer end for a tap (faucet) and it took me ages to work out that the tap with the big hole in was 'Male' as the tap end had the thread on it!

 

Never heard that before either. I also didn't know referring to things as male and female was an ongoing PC battle. The more you know...

 

It's not.

 

Cancel culture, amirite?

 

The choice to use words other than female and male whatevers when it comes to inanimate objects is just simple lunacy. Pretty sure the watch, plug, tubing doesn't have a gender identity to be cancelled.

But agreed there's no need to be "politically correct" about inanimate objects with receiving and inserting configurations. of course, now I've opened myself to all the moonies who think labeling something "lunacy" is unfair to the moon. We could do this all day. But what about the night? The night never gets to do anything fun. And so it goes.

The trouble with the Maples, and they're quite convinced their right, is that the Oaks are just to lofty, and grab up all the light.

Maybe the watch / bracelet identifies as a non-binary spring-bar-neutral unicorn.

 

I would NEVER call it a spring bar. That would be offensive to the other seasons.

 

What if a male end links identifies as female? Maybe they can start designing links that are malleable? Maybe they can add an attachment to each end? It might not function right, but looks the part from far enough away.

 

ffs
Sometimes I just want to give something, anything, a good swift kick in the caboose.

 

WTF are male and female endlinks?

 

describes the endlink. if it has an integrated middle link where it attaches to the bracelet it's a male. If it has a cutout, and the braclet has the middle link that fills it in, then female.

Female is usually preferable as it makes for an effectively shorter lug to lug measurement on wrist.

 

Not going to effect my incorrectness.

 

Boys have a positive. Girls have a negative.

That would have ruined that scene in "Kindergarten Cop".

 

I was sipping my mid day coffee on my lunch break and nearly spit it out when watching Marc from LongIslandWatch.com's latest video on his new 38mm Islander releases. The watches have female end links, that's great, as it makes them more wearable on smaller wrists. However, these were referred to as "negative end links", and I saw the same thing with many of the comments as well.

For me, it's always going to be male and female end links. Trying to change the name to something silly like "negative" just is not going to fly with me, or any other serious collector.

Video in question:

No PC'ness about it. I've always called them negative endlinks. Positives stick out, negatives stick in. For my brain, it just makes sense.

And then there's this added bonus - you say "female endlinks" on a product listing, and males suddenly think its a women's watch.

 

I can see this thread taking a negative turn — IBTL.

 

I take daily pro politically incorrect lessons, it offsets the indoctrination of the media.

 

Negative end link? Is there such thing as a positive end link?

 

I think positive and negative is better than male and female

 

Until someone runs into “why is female negative and male positive?? Patriarchy!”

 

Nobody upset by the reference to the "small wristed community"?

 

 

old, white, straight, ignorant...what else we missing here
