Comments

[(Anonymous)]

Not sure what you mean, anon. What's the problem with the commenter's phrasing? Maybe I, too, am falling victim to my own internalised bullshit, but I'm genuinely confused.

[(Anonymous)]

"Female" is a big fucking no-no. It's dehumanizing and offensive. This is not a new issue so I won't get into this in a big way, it's all online if you care to research it in more detail, but basically neckbeards and dudebros call women "Females"

[(Anonymous)]

Uh... right? Still quite confused. I can perhaps see that using the biological term could be a way of distancing oneself from the character as a person, but "female" has been around for a long time. It doesn't seem like it's being used in the animal sense here. Is there the same issue if one calls a man "male"?

[nyxelestia]

Calling some a female, as a noun, is dehumanizing.

Using female as an adjective is not.

Apparently, the anon missed the noun that came after this particular adjective.

[(Anonymous)]

You must have serious problems when you go to use a public loo...

[nyxelestia]

...okay, I have no idea what you're trying to imply, there.

[(Anonymous)]

Whereas calling men neckbeards and dudebros is...?

[(Anonymous)]

Wait, using a standard English adjective for being a woman is somehow sexist and dehumanizing? I'm speechless. Please explain. What word would you prefer?

[(Anonymous)]

If you use standard English adjective, the patriarchy wins!

[poisonenvy]

Referring to people as just "Female" can be dehumanizing. Using female as an adjective is not.

+1

[(Anonymous)]

It was pretty clear that they were using female as an adjective, not a noun. There's absolutely nothing sexist about doing that.

Re: +1

[poisonenvy]

Looking down the thread, I really don't see this person having problems with "female characters" or "female humans" (which is a term they actually used). It's just female exes that they seem to have an issue with.

[(Anonymous)]

When used as a noun, yes. Darkmanifest didn't use it as a noun; it was an adjective in that sentence. Thus, it wasn't reducing the ex (the sentence's noun) to a single trait, her femaleness; it was simply specifying one of the traits that she had.
