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
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been referred to as a “male” or “man” or “cis gender male” and it doesn’t bother me one single bit. I generally just avoid people who get offended over every little “wrong” word
Seems like this is one of those things that women think will make men uncomfortable, but really winds up making their day because men are so starved of positive connection that even a neutral commentary on their life is refreshing because that means someone is paying attention to them.
I wouldn’t describe being called “unfuckable” neutral. But yeah they probably would like some level of attention, even the negative kind.
thank god i don’t rate my value as a human to if someone else considers me fuckable or not.
that is ick and ew no matter which gender
Calling someone a “female” to their face certainly makes you unfuckable tho.
Goes for behind their back as well. Unless there is only straight makes, in that case it’s another reason.
