Hey so a female horse is only a "mare" after it's given birth for the first time, before then it's a "filly" Same with a female pig (which goes from a "gilt" to a "sow"), or a "heifer" becoming a "cow" Do you make this distinction with humans? Why or why not https://twitter.com/BelleSanders_/status/1223043368986431488 …

It's not a good argument for how we should name or treat people The people bringing up old-timey words for humans that did work this way as part of an obviously oppressive social system ("maiden" as a term prizing virginity etc) are just proving the point
