Hey! Assuming good intent here. Calling women, “females”, can come across as belittling. How often do you refer to men as males? This is a good article that goes into it more: https://jezebel.com/the-problem-with-calling-women-females-1683808274 …

I'd also add that calling women "girls" is patronizing. It undermines our technical credibility because the word refers to a group of children. You wouldn't refer to a group of men as "boys".

A under represented group has the right to self identify with a label that would otherwise be considered inappropriate

Doesn't every group have the right to self identify with a label that could be considered inappropriate in other contexts? That's not something that's exclusive to under represented groups Not trying to be difficult, I'm genuinely asking

I was struggling to phrase it correctly. I think a marginalized group has the right to use terms to self-identify that would be used offensively by others to describe them.
