    I mean, using “female” to refer to another human is pretty demeaning imo, though stifling discussion isn’t a good look. I can’t imagine the “discussion” around this was super productive though, knowing Reddit.

        Here’s what you said in this thread:

        “Sterile and similar to specimens.”

        Bruh those are your thoughts and words. No normal people think like that. What the fuck?

        The only people who think “female” is incel language are terminally-online no-life losers who desperately need to go outside.

        If you seriously think “female” is incel langauge then you need to touch grass. Get off the internet for a while.

        I sense a pattern here. And it’s not the pattern of someone who touches grass regularly.

          ??? How do you figure??

          I’m one of the few here who seem to understand how people actually communicate in the real world, I’m one of the few actually capable of recognizing your pseudo-intellectual white-knight bullshit for what it is.

          The fact that you took the time to collate my recent comments in an attempt to make some sad retort demonstrates that you’re the exact kind of terminally-online loser I predicted.

          All of that effort just to conclude your retort with “I know you are but what am i?”

          Get a life.

            Nah. People in the real world don’t use the noun phrase “a female” when referring respectfully to women. They say woman, lady, girl, gal, or something along those lines. The only times a woman is called “a female” are in technical contexts or when the speaker is a misogynist.

            Then proceeds to argue calling women females is completely normal…

            To be fair, socially oblivious people have no sense that others are completely uncomfortable around them. My friend’s autistic son, who also calls women females, has the same issue.

          Oh look another “I know you are but what am i?”

          Why am I not surprised that all of the idiots screaming “incel reeeee” in this thread can only come up with the same kindergarten comeback over and over?

          You’re telling on yourselves.

        As an adjective, i.e. female athlete, sure it ain’t.

        As a noun, I.e. that female, that’s weird and normally associated with incels and sexism.

        It’s not like there aren’t other words to use. If woman and lady are just too normal for you, even lass, bird, girl, or gal would be less weird to say.

        I ain’t gonna tell you to touch grass, I’m gonna tell you to chat to some women and see where calling them females gets you.
