the word itself isn't offensive but its often used by men in a disrespectful/derogatory manner
im hoping saying "males" gets normalized so ppl will stop viewing female as offensive
Nah if you call me a male we gotta scrap
Somehow men is offensive to me now too. Yeah definitely just the way these words have been used that's tarnished them
Because “female” doesn’t even specifically reference a human. It’s degrading a woman to her most biological s***organ. Female basically means “has vagina” whereas “woman” is nuanced and encompasses what it means to be a woman.
thank you for the information king
i did not know this
It depends on context. In a lot of contexts saying “female” is appropriate
this. it’s always offensive when using it as a noun @op bc in modern usage, it’s contextually just been used as a less-obvious way to call a woman a b****. but with that in mind, it’s still the proper word to use as an adjective in many cases
A lot of men use it as substitute for b****. And you can tell they are because they're using it in the wrong way (as a noun), using it as noun instead of an adjective is just weird and is not reciprocate for men
@Sayen mute reason: misogyny throughout the thread & loser rhetoric (not calling you an loser, just saying you’re parroting loser rhetoric a LOT itt)
get a new gimmick. don’t spam unrelated Bible quotes (or anything really) in random threads if you wanna continue posting on this site.
if you know how to speak English then you know you can’t use it to replace “woman” or “girl”.
The way men will say it isn't correct, sometimes objectifying, and it comes across also as derogatory (which sometimes is intentional). S*** happens even on KTT in the way its phrased. "Female" is predominantly an adjective
no one goes calling us men males in the wrong form constantly like that
and yes girls IRL will notice it if you say it that way around them even if they aren't immediately vocal about it. Its something that might not seem like a big deal to a lot of men but please quit it for your own good lol
Yeah girls will notice Whats the problem Bruh
Women and men Talk s*** about each other all the time , together. Real life or twitter. Why must everything result in an ejection nowadays.
Yeah that's what I'm saying. But apparently there's an issue with it so I'm just making sure I understand everything.
it’s derogatory when using it as a noun. if you use it as an adjective, it’s usually fine. can’t think of any examples of it being used as an adjective would be bad unless the sentence itself is referring to women in a bad way, but that wouldn’t be the fault the word “female”
Lmao you just gotta be fast enough that they give up on editing it
But yea I’d like to have quotes not change when the OG is edited
it’s got its ups and downs
it’s nice to not have your mistakes immortalized via quotes, but i’ve also seen a certain poster get hundreds of likes & various quotes on a post in a hit thread then edit the post to something completely unrelated/bait, so there is room for abuse
“Best Male Artist”
No one bats an eye
note how it’s used as an adjective, not a noun
the word itself isn't offensive but its often used by men in a disrespectful/derogatory manner
idk if its offensive or not but i never once felt right calling women that, sometimes you have to cause "women vocalist" doesn't sound as good as "female vocalist" only times i use "female" is when "women" doesn't fit a sentence to me
it’s correct when used as an adjective
always wrong when used as a noun to describe women
Extremely surprised to see who OP of this thread is.
If you read the OP, I’ve never referred to women as “females.” I asked my question because I was honestly confused as to why people seem more offended by that word now more than ever
This thread taught me a lot so I don’t regret making it
The fact that you can’t quote someone who messes up their post to immortalize their mistake makes me so sad lol
I be screenshotting s*** and putting it in my post cause I’m petty
