It grates on my nerves. They'll literally refer to themselves and other women as "females" and men as "men" in the same sentence. It's just diet-b!tch.

LSA has truly changed--or the younger generation is so accustomed to disrespect. The conversation about Black men calling us "females" is an old one. I also notice that male-identified and self-hating women call other women "females" too.

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.
Exactly. Not I :sneaky: I am the original Woman. Period;)

A lot of women are not smart & will follow along with whatever to fit in. black males started calling us "females" as a PG alternative to b!tch & it took off because most people are followers.

Case in point:
This is so damn weird of a thread I’m leaving, y’all are sick, this has been a term as long as “male” has been a term!! What is the issue, are you not females, and males. sh!t I got enough going on trying to figure out pronoun’s now this!! Just searching and digging for an issue. Grow Up!!

I think what’s brainwashing is considering the term “female” to be derogatory.

Context is what’s makes the word derogatory, the word itself shouldn’t automatically have a negative connotation.

I don't know what circumstances a person would randomly refer to themselves as a woman or female when they are just discussing themselves. I do know that government forms as well as medical forms usually have you check either male or female. This is way before any "inclusive" nonsense.

Nowhere near as much as women get called females


It's negative because most of the time "male/female" are terms used for animals (when they're used as nouns).


let me notifiy the government that they cant identify me as female anymore because it is offensive, same with my doctors and dentist office along with my place of employment. Oh I need to call the ministry of transportation because God forbid they think an animal has a Driver's license

So, I literally just listed why I found it offensive. And I know it’s different to fathom for this generation, but words have meaning. Woman, female, lady, girl are not the same. They refer to the same xes but they all have different meaning in regards to a woman’s stage in life.

Hell
When I hear female, I think a female what? Dog? Cat? etc. basically not a human.

So yeah, there’s a reason and not a good one that itz being used on us.

Because they're stupid ass pickme b!tches. Literally any and every woman I've ever seen refer to herself and other women as "female" where the word "woman" would have sufficed or made more sense has been a no child left behind brand pickme. Every. Single. Last. One. They don't respect women enough to even say the word. But they will always say "men".

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.
Thank you! It's literally just them saying b!tch without cursing and I'm sick of people tryna act like they don't understand it. Especially when it's a black woman. She thinks she's being bold and progressive when it's like sis I'd just rather you call me a b!tch.

Literally whenever I see a woman refer to another woman as female I just write her off as bird brained. Hasn't failed me yet and it keeps me from arguing with stupid people.
Umm, just yesterday…


Like this. Absolutely no reason to say female, could have referred to herself as a woman. But as much as I like Meg, she also got pickme ways about her and this proves it. Wish her all the best though.

They do but when it comes to black men, the n-word takes preference. The n-word has become a synonym for black men. Which I’m sure you knew.
They also started that bµllsh!t. And fighting to keep it. They wanna curse themselves, let em

I will be honest... I've never understood the strong visceral reaction some women have when they are referred to as female. Has nothing to do with an agenda on my part. All my life, filling out any official document, it literally asks if your xes is male or female. lol So I have associated it with being a woman.

Go back to Boxden to play obtuse please the adults are talking

LOL Pointing out flawed logic is inconvenient for some, but that's what Imma always do.

You can't complain about being dehumanized, but then turn around and say it's flattering to call a woman a baby chicken but an insult to call a woman a female. Insanity.

Op you do realize female and woman are the same thing right? A better question is why that word has been abused negatively by certain subset of mainly bw.

So I just checked my own LSA posts for how many times I have used "female" vs "male" and I actually use the word "male" more than "female."

Honestly, I associate the words "girl" as females under 18 and "women" as females over 18. When I use "female," it's often because I am talking about females in general, regardless of age. It's quicker than having to say "girls and women." This just feels like one of those "pick your battles" type situations.

Some of y'all be steeped only in low vibrational hood ish and let those men get under your skin and then want everyone in the world to see your experience as the only experience that counts or matters.

Black women really need to find some self-respect. Most of us really don't have high enough standards, especially for the way BM treat us. And it shows. It shows.

I think you hit the nail on the head.

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.

Doubtful.
If it is a military thing then way it is mainly black men use the term females, especially in regard to Black women. I have never heard a white man, military or not, use the term female to refer to women.

I have heard black men in the military/veterans use female in reference to women regardless of race. I noticed a few said it often so I asked them why. They said it was a bad habit they retained from being in the military. I don’t hang with white men, I keep my interactions with them to a minimum, so I truly wouldn’t know if this is said amongst them.

I cringe when I hear men say it, I already know how they view women.

I will only use it when I'm referring to medical information (it's the field I work in), I DO understand why some women use it.

It's literally the only fµck!ng word men can't steal from us but I don't like it used in every day speech.

This reminds me of Angelea or whatever from ANTM lmao, when she said "living with women, especially females" :LOL:

I still don't get it. There's nothing wrong with using the word "female", to describe yourself or other women, but I don't understand the way or intention some women use the word...I think being male identified does have something to do with it though
