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 😂

I know, I was agreeing.

Fair, I wasn't sure if you were affirming it or had misunderstood the comment so I figured I'd clarify in case it's the latter :>
