Re: What gender stereotypes don't fit you?

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.

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.
