By "another planet" they mean "a different culture". No need to be a jerk about it.

[(Anonymous)]

I was under the impression that they meant an English-speaking one, or else the weird connotations the English word "female" has could possibly make its counterpart in another language less creepy and not really applicable here.

[(Anonymous)]

I live in an oddly cross cultural city in the USA and I hear females used for women often, but I hear ladies just as often.

I, however, try not to get my panties in a bunch over a word and look at the context of the person saying it. I have certainly heard both used in respectful ways and in disrespectful ways.

[(Anonymous)]

Interesting. I never hear women called "females" as a noun outside of cops, forensic pathologists, and neckbeards who are too afraid of women to acknowledge that they're people. I guess I am glad there are places where it doesn't have that connotation.

[(Anonymous)]

You mean the rest of the english speaking world may commonly use a word you don't? Because we never use the word "neckbeard" but for some reason I'm still able to comprehend that you may be from a backwater place that does.

[(Anonymous)]

"Backwater place"? Are you... new to the internet, or...?

[(Anonymous)]

Also I like how you berated someone for not being tolerant about other places calling women "females" and then you referred to people who use a different word you don't as being "backwater".

[lyndis]

Even then where I'm from, it's a "lady cop" so...hm.

[(Anonymous)]

I think they meant more like how police reports and communication work - 'suspect is female, white, apr. 5'6" - may be armed' kind of thing?

[(Anonymous)]

Have you been everywhere that speaks English? No? Then maybe consider you don't know everything about how everyone who speaks English uses the language.

[(Anonymous)]

Let me rephrase that, then: I think that outside of certain situations like in a criminology context, calling human women "females" all while calling men "men", "guys", "dudes", and other specifically human nouns is weird, full stop.

You don't tend to see one without the other.

And what about the cultures and individuals around those specific contexts who get into the habit - the police example was a pretty good one.
