I can guarantee that any man who calls women “females” should be 100% avoided
Wait what’s wrong with this???
smh…
Foolish
Females is a dehumanizing term. You call an animal a male or a female. You don’t call a woman that. Implies worthlessness. Females is a childish word to me.
Wait wait wait…WHAT? REALLY?!?
I’ll accept that calling grown women “girls, baby, shorty, dame, sweetie, broad, bitch and cunt” as derogatory but “female”? Yeah I guess in the context like, “ugh, these females here…” but let’s switch up with hearing some woman going, “ugh, these males (or men) here!”
Part of the time I wonder if we know what is insulting or when we are reaching and take things out of context.
I just don’t know anymore, we guys should just stop talking period and just to acknowledge others.
For me I only tolerate being called “female” purely in the biological sense, and only generally as a collective term for any given species when, and ONLY when, used IMPERSONALLY, with no interest (for whatever reason) in individuality. Female as a adjective has one context, female as a noun has another.
Think of it like this:
“Bri is female.” Indeed I am, I do not object to this statement.
“Bri is a female.” Er… Still true, but it emphasizes femaleness as a biology, a thing, rather than the person, me. Female in and of itself is not a mean word, but you know that “Ugh, men!” is more like “Ugh, women!” than “Ugh, females!”
its not about terminology, its about connotation. In modern English, female is an accepted adjective for all species, but inappropriate as a collective term for female human beings.
