Pish these homo-sapians
The word "female" should not be a negative. What a weird anti-intellectual direction this world is taking.
Might as well ban the word "cloud" next.
It's not the use of the word "female" itself, but the use of the word as a noun to describe a woman, because it is taken to imply that the woman is a mere object. As the other person who replied to you said: context matters.
I use the word "female" (and "male") every single day when documenting on my patients, e.g. my notes commonly begin with "Patient is xx years old, female, [...]." This is normal and no one would take issue with it, because it is using "female" as an adjective and in a context where the information is important.
The opinions of people who think that 4,000,000,000 “Men” constitute a valid stereotype don’t matter a lot to me
This tweet is clearly not about 4,000,000,000 men, but the significantly smaller subset of those men calling women "females". It might help to read a post before getting angry about it?
You wouldn’t want a narrator trying that on me. You’d be bored to tears.
