it’s also grammatically weird. female is often used as an adjective, not a subject (example: female cat). it’s often used to describe animals, not people. it’s an easy way to call women inferior without saying it out loud

additionally, when you refer to women as females, you’re also reducing women to their reproductive parts and abilities, which is just gross and demeaning

most of the terms we use for the binary genders are paired men and women ladies and gentlemen boys and girls saying men and females in the same sentence doesn’t fit, and it’s obvious the only purpose behind it is to dehumanize women

you can search “females” in the twitter search bar and IMMEDIATELY find tweets of men referring to women as that, followed by something misogynistic/stereotypical/demeaningpic.twitter.com/Eb0Rp4Jxq2

i am being called a snowflake for this tweet, yet all i did was politely say to not refer to women as females. i don’t think i’m the easily offended one, especially since im not throwing slurs and offensive insults at someone i disagree with (:

i also think i should clarify something that i thought was common knowledge, but i guess it’s not? if you genuinely mean no harm by it, it’s probably fine. female isn’t a dirty word. it becomes an issue in misogynistic context, which the word is used in a lot of the time

i was never saying “grrr word bad you cant say it ):< !!!” and i think a lot if people are missing that point. it still makes a lot of people uncomfortable to be described as female and not women, but all we’re really asking is for it to not be used in that misogynistic context
Prikaži ovu nit -
it becomes an issue because it has been used in a derogatory way in recent years, and that’s why women are put off by it. all we’re asking is for people to be kind and not refer to us that way
