Do not use the dehumanizing and triggering term "female".

We are people not animals.

Would you say male?

Yes. And I refer to myself as female, because I am female.

SA

NAYRT btw

female gender stereotypes

Good lord.

My exact reaction. 8/10 tho, the beast under the bridge got a response, after all......

"We are people not animals."

We are both. Human beings are animals. Mammals, specifically.

Yay homo sapiens!

this

More like viruses

LOL at you for thinking 'female' is dehumanizing. Cry moar, SJW.

It's a troll. They aren't an actual SJW, they're someone doing a parody of one.

People fall for trolls so easily here.

It's because we're desperate for good ones.

Go take a breather anon.

Female is an adjective. I am a woman. I am female. OP simply said "female," the way I might simply say "brown" if someone asked what color my eyes were. Wow.

Was going to say this. Thank you.

"Female" as a noun (when referring to humans) really bugs me but I have never seen anyone complain about its use as an adjective?? like where did that even come from

I've seen it, but in specific contexts because MRA flavored misogynists LOVE calling men men but women 'females.'

That said, it's a perfectly legit word to use. Using female or male as a noun isn't a bad thing. It's when you ONLY refer to one gender with those terms as a way to belittle them that it gets creepy and weird.

I think it's tacky, tbh (both ways). And yeah, I've seen MRAs do it and it bugs me every time.

"Female" is used towards women all the time and people don't even realize that it's belittling because we're conditioned to think that way. It's often used from a male-default POV among people who think it's normal and it grates on me. :/

Yeah. Like, it took me a while to notice, because I mostly saw it in sci-fi, and equal-opportunity ("the female dino-rabbitaurs created a religion around cabbage; the males stayed at home and killed puppies"). But yeah, once I started hanging on a site specifically devoted to mocking the manosphere, it became kinda painfully obvious.

--Rogan

Oh when it's used in a clinical/scientific context then it becomes a whole different thing, to me. It's more when it's used in a social context (and a discussion of gender stereotypes is definitely a social context) that it bugs me because of the implications.

Oh yeah, that's totally fair! It is really fucking weird in a social context.
