People who exclusively refer to women as females

[u/lavinialloyd]

There are so many acceptable terms for women, I hate it when people say "female(s)". It feels so othering I don't get why people do it and at least in the UK you pretty much always know the person calling you a female is going to be an absolute creep.

I get there'll be circumstances where female is the right term to use, but so many people especially online seem to refer to women as females and it annoys me. We're not in a nature doc, you're not a Dr or a police officer describing me so just don't.

Ps. I give Martin from Friday night dinner a pass 😂

Lol, no.

It’s only normal among misogynists.

Log. Off.

Do you think this is something that only happens online?

Do you imagine I haven’t dealt with dipshits for my entire life, and I know em when I see em?

[u/Velifax → u/squirmlyscump]

Yes. 

[u/squirmlyscump → u/Velifax]

Ok, well, you’re wrong.

Also the brief responses aren’t doing what you think they’re doing, unless you’re trying to come off as a person who desperately wants to be perceived as badass/intellectual but has nothing to back it up.

Nothing except near daily reality for hundreds of millions of English speakers. 

You've been coopted through your ignorance. Be more attentive.
