    I guess you have a point, but banning for that seems like a pretty big overreaction. Especially when the person who posted it also could have been a non-native speaker.

      Yea, unless used degoratory I don’t think it is a big deal either. It is probably a cultural thing and I respect it.

      Thinking more about it it would also be weird to call a woman female in my native tongue and could also only be used in a degoratory manner. We also have some older words which would be even worse.

      No, I think I get it after putting some more thought into it.
