    i just realized that... that lyric doesn't actually make any sense, because "im a woman's man" means, 'im a man who likes women'

    Actually, I think it's more "I'm a man who women like".

    beastandtheharlot quoted a song lyric, I believe, which I think is implied to be sung by a woman. I don't know, though, since I've never heard a song with these lyrics.

    itsnate then said that the lyric "I'm a woman's man", when sung by a woman, is a little backwards, since the syntax of that statement would mean that the singer is a man, saying that it means "I'm a man who likes women".

    I then stated that the same lyric would probably more likely mean "I'm a man who women like". I'm using the logic that if the word "man" is the subject and the word "woman's" is the object and is possessive, then that probably means that the man, where the lyric implies the liking of <blank>, is liked by the woman, ergo "I'm a man who women like". If it's what itsnate says it is, then the word "woman's" shouldn't be possessive and the lyric should instead be "I'm a woman man" (AKA: "I'm a woman kind of man" or "I'm a woman-liking man".).

    Does that help clear things up?

    Edit: We were more or less debating syntax and grammar, is all.

  • btw i figured out the song lyric thing lol, I always thought that that song was sung by a woman because of the voice, turns out nope.

    "Im a woman's man" makes perfect sense then because then its "im a man for women" / "im a man that women want" or something along those lines

    in conclusion, im dumb lol
