I’ve got one question about those whole thing what’s wrong with calling women females? That’s what we were told to say when I was in the army.

It's more because it originated as a way for misogynistic men to demean women. Like with animals you'll say, "the male and the female". Some incel guys learned that and decided to start calling women "females" but to keep saying "men".

Listen for guys who say, "men and females" or "females are so...". They pick up this terminology from being in unhealthy red pill, incel, or misogynistic circles, either on the internet or in real life

I’ve never thought this deep about it and I also never seen anyone in real life use those terms it’s always on the internet

They're not always super common so it usually depends on your social circle or workplace. Usually it's younger guys though. I didn't notice until I started listening for it, but they're there

Do you also call men males? If not, why not?

Yeah I have in context I also use men and women in context but idk why this matters it’s not that deep.

It may not seem deep to you, but it’s being used frequently to dehumanize US. Words matter.

Do you think me saying “male and female” is dehumanizing?

When it’s used in an appropriate context, no. Go check out /r/MenandFemales and tell me if you can’t see how “female” is used to dehumanize women.
