What is wrong with the word “female”?. I genuinely would like to know. Woman, female, lady, girl…it’s all the same. I can’t imagine being upset by this.
I use the word female in reference to myself and I do believe that is whats on my birth certificate. I also use the word female when I dont feel like saying little girls, teen girls and women when the word females covers all three groups

Idgaf what you listed and you don’t know how old I am to conclude what generation I’m from. You’re a female at the end of the day. Why would anyone be insulted by this?

Actually, I am glad you brought that point up. Because I hate when women refer to themselves as b!tches and hoes (I have no idea what slores are) as well. And I am too, also guilty of that and am training myself not to use those terms. But I also remember black women used to use that term to fight against men who would use that term in rap/hip hop lyrics to degrade women. Almost synonymous with the reason black people used the N-word to fight racism. And yet, both concepts have failed leaving us to degrade each other instead of uplift each other.

I honestly believe they are black male identified AF. And you only hear black women saying that sh!t. Especially when you watch divorce court they scream female , it’s just a code word for b!tch and only certain women pick up on it. The ones that understand, understand and the ones that don’t, dont. I’m over tired of explaining it to women at this point. The powers that be are trying to erase women all together but it doesn’t matter cuz we are all females anyways. SMH
Nobody calls men male but the police&hosptial.

I am so lost as to why it is an issue. You said woman, and that has the word “man” in it. Some of you just try to find issues with everything.

I don’t have a problem with the term female at all. I don’t find it to be degrading. I just view it as scientifically accurate. I was actually surprised to learn that other women have such strong feelings about it. The word is pretty neutral to me. I don’t mind that it can also be applied to other species, because we’re all a part of nature anyway. In fact, I find the hierarchal way that we think about human existence, in relation to the rest of creation to be quite problematic. Such philosophies add fuel to humans’ relentless raping and pillaging of the earth, to the detriment of all living creatures. I also view the term male as pretty neutral as well.

It's meant to be dehumanizing. Any animal can be a female, but only human beings can be women. It's basically a subtle way to reduce women to just animals.

This is so weird. Why are biological women referring to themselves as females? Is it a brainwashing technique? I’ve seen and heard women refer to themselves as this like it’s normal. And I’m wondering, is it to show support for the trans community or to show you are black male identified?

I just want to add, I find it offensive and can see it leading into more disrespect for womanhood. And, not only is it a sign that we as woman are giving away our womanhood, but also our humanity.
They are calling themselves females because that's what they are. There are so many more things going on in this world to be worried about.

Imagine being upset about being called a female, which you are but is perfectly ok with being called a b!tch. Make it make sense.

Who determined it's a code word for b!tch? And why is female offensive but b!tch isn't because I hear women refer to themselves and other women by that term all the time? If you want to be offended by a term it should be b!tch.

Who said it not offended by that word? Everytime I hear female it’s said in a negative connotation. Always

Lovin' all that BW love BW thing going on under the guise of talking about, name calling and putting down BW who do not agree with you. Showing love like that, let me guess, it's the "guys who love 'itches" who y'all go after?? :laugh

Signed,

These females kray :laugh, and with love how they show, I'm glad I'm on their "we hate Rhett" list :laugh

Funny, this topic actually came up IRL and the retired military men I spoke to said referring to women as females came from the military. It spread when those men went back home and their non military friends/family picked that up from them. That along with other weird relationship practices came from them.
BS. Then why wasn't "male" picked up then?

So why aren't men regularly called "males"? You've never sat down and thought about what could possibly be implied by saying "men and females"? Ok.

its how the word is used, not the word itself.

I doubt anyone is losing their mind bothered or looking to fight anyone on this but I am one of the people who find it insulting.

I actually had to walk one of my ex's through this. He would say oh well 'females' do this etc, etc and once i walked him through that everytime he used the word it was to slight all women as a whole and when he was talking in a positive way he never used the word, then it clicked for him. But he didn't realize he was even doing it, so i think thats what other fonts are feeling as well. The way its become very normal place

I notice the kind of people who always use female, and only for Black women. The same people who will say men and female in the same sentence. Y'all really don't find that phrasing odd?

Is it something I am going to shout from the rooftop about? Hell no. But I do notice it and I generally don't take those people seriously.

This conversation isn't happening if you are really gonna try and act like men being called males is as normalized as women being called females.

Idgaf lol. You act like I’ve been waiting to have this conversation all my life. You quoted me lol. Men have always been called males. Stop trying to make fetch.

arent women females though?

yall get angry over every little thing
...which is why the majority of people on here are miserable. Their obsession with femininity is nothing short of maniacal.

Anywho, those with a smidgen of sense know that they are grown women/females who would never allow random pixels on the screen tell them how to refer to themselves as.

How do you know that these fonts don't mind being called b!tches and hoes?? None of them has said that they're fine with that

I will use it as an adjective e.g. ‘a female paleontologist’ but not as a noun e.g. ‘I know a paleontologist who is a female:sick:

However I call adult human males, ‘males,’ because I genuinely view them as subhuman Neanderthals with rere strength.
