No. I dislike 'female' as a noun but recognise that people using it this way don't mean anything awful by it. https://twitter.com/_joemo/status/916266206809739265 …

The Tweet you quoted is very accurate many times, not every time. Your tweet implied there is no truth to it. That is wrong.
-
How do you know this? I think it depends on cultural norms as to whether female is commonly used as a noun or not.
-
Maybe. Maybe it's an American thing, but I know wildly sexist men, and the use of 'females' to describe women is a real thing.
-
I'd still address the sexism rather than the use of words.
-
Sure. But the Tweet quoted is describing a real phenomenon as I see it.
-
That doesn't mean anything. Your perception can be that 'females' is code for 'bitches' or that 'diversity' is code for 'white genocide.'
-
You need to engage with what people are actually saying rather than your perception of what they mean or you might as well argue with urself
-
This doesn't mean anything. I can confront actual sexism and what people say and ALSO notice what is a very obvious phenom.
