as soon as a man says female i tune out. fuck you

If anyone is confused, basically, there’s a huge difference between using female as an adjective and using it as a noun. Saying “a female pilot” isn’t weird but just calling a woman “a female” makes many women feel gross. It feels weirdly dehumanizing, especially considering that many men who are guilty of this don’t refer to men as “males” (instead of “men and women” it’s “men and females.”)

Just say “woman.” It’s not that hard.

its because when they do that theyre acting like women are a different species entirely. usually with one hive mind. you know, rather than treating women like people that have individual interests and lives
