These dames wanting inclusivity

Well…

Idk what they're called, but IIRC that there are some all-female lizards that can reproduce either by parthenogenesis or lesbianism.

You talking about females or farts?

Naw they’re called burds there.

Using scientific terminology in colloquial speech is weird and creepy in most contexts. Calling kids "juveniles" and women "females" carries certain connotations, most of them bad.

Using female as a noun (rather than as an adjective, such as in the phrase "female firefighter", or any phrase of the format "female $noun") is generally overly clinical and dehumanizing. Some people do it out of habit due to their profession-- usually researchers or soldiers-- but they usually say "males and females", which while still weird isn't the worst.

The guys who say "men and females" are the ones you need to watch out for.

It's not inherently derogatory, but it does hold a connotation if you refer to women as females particularly in contexts where you wouldn't/don't refer to men as males.

Yes, using scientific terminology can be derogatory. But in this case, acting like the opposite sex is a species on its own, classifying them as animals and slurring all women as hoes gave it away for me.

If you are calling a woman “a female”, and aren’t a cop discussing a victim or a doctor writing a chart, then yes, it’s fucking derogatory.

We’re not Ferengi.

I thought it was just a more scientific classification.

Scientifc classification by sex. Referring to others by their biological sex in a social context is weird and creepy. Even if you believe sex and gender are the same thing, it's still weird to call people by their sex. "Hello, male human. Want to ingest some fried pieces of cow flesh tonight?"

I thought it was just a more scientific classification.

It's a classification of sex like biological characteristics, like chromosomes, hormones, and reproductive organs.  Are you asking about that?

Gender is a social construct. Just like race. Where you can be a Black person who is British. Or a Filipino American.

It is not. Americans are insane.

Usually the Redditors wear the fedora without knowing how to pair it correctly with the rest of their outfits, so don't worry, if you wear a nice attire and a fedora people won't get you confused with the guy wearing an ahegao t-shirt two sizes too small and cargo shorts.

Usually it's a cheap Trilby anyway.

You need to get big into two tone ska, then the fedora is socially acceptable again.

Don't get me wrong I'm still a woman, just not one with a vagina :D

And tru men can be slutty too

Lmao nice try rightoid.

Why yes, famously trans women hate the word women so much they use it on themselves /s

Vager?

I prefer "pussy owners", sounds funnier.

People with vaginas is the right terminology if discussing something that pertains to vaginas. Eg. "People with vaginas should make sure to see a gynecologist regularly." in this case, saying "women" would exclude/misgender many trans and intersex people who have vaginas but are not women, while also including some women who do not have vaginas and would not need to see a gynecologist

well sometimes u need to refer to ppl who have a vagina, because having a vagina is somehow relevant to the topic of conversation. which in my experience comes up very rarely, so i dont have to use it very often.

some people who have vaginas arent women, and so if the topic includes those ppl, then "people with vaginas" is the perfect phrase to use. and if talking about ppl with vaginas who all identify as women, cis women is more fitting.

"female" is a very vague way of referring to something. some ppl use it to describe gender identity, others use it to talk about ppl with vaginas, others again use it to refer to ppl with estrogen-dominant hormonal systems, etc. etc.

When the genital sexuals came on the scene. You know the ones who want to check everyone's genitals to make sure they are what they say they are. The ones who are only attracted to the genitals, they could care less what is attached to them.

For them genitals is life and they have infiltrated our government to pass laws like bathroom bills. This will allow them to examine everyone's genitals. So far they appear to be winning and everyone's genitals will soon be seen them.

The Genital Safety Administration (GSA) will need to have a booth in front of our bathrooms there to perform their checks. Another genital sexual licking their lips in anticipation next time you have to drop a deuce.

You know I've said "dude" all my life and I still use it all the time in regards to everyone. If I saw that someone was genuinely offended at being called dude I wouldn't use it again with that person, but now that I really think about it I don't think I've ever heard the term in a derogatory way. Like ever. For me it's always been a happy/inclusive word for addressing friends. My only worry for now is that saying it shows my age.

Tips Fedora

Yeah, what they're saying doesn't make much sense logically though.

Men here is 们, the plural marker for people. Wo (我) is I or me, wo+men (我们) we or us, ni (你) is you, ni+men (你们) is you (plural), ta (他/她/它) is he/she/it, and ta+men (+们) is they.

Some other variants exists, and there's specifics on the usage. I also missed the tone markers on the pinyin because they're a pain to type.

Anyway I'm not sure what joke or point they were trying to make.

Correct; wo, ni, ta are the singular forms I, you, he/she/it. Adding the -men suffix turns it into the plural we/you/they.

So literally, ‘we’ are ‘women’.

That kind of fella would use something derogatory instead of sapiens for women. That is, assuming they even knew what sapiens stood for in the first place.

Outside of a clinical/scientific setting? It’s comes off a bit creepy. If a guy in a social setting refers to women as “females,” it seems derogatory- as if they were talking about lesser animals.

In online forums like Lemmy or Reddit, if someone calls women “females,” I always picture that person as a Ferengi from Star Trek.

OOP

okay but how does object-oriented programming factor into it

Men/women - gender (social). Male, female - sex (biology). It’s very simple, just use the right one depending on the context.

Ladies wasn't used in the Original Post.

When playing a RPG of some sort, sometimes they give you the ability to reallocate all your talent points in a different way. Such as switching from melee focused to something magic oriented like a wizard or a witch. This is called a Respec, short for Re-specialization.

Respec sounds very similar to Respect. The Original Post is about respecting women.

I appreciate your interest in my comment, hope you have a nice day. Take care.

Honestly a lot of them start out as or still contextually imply "males" in the US, but can be used gender neutrally as well now too. Like "how you guys doing" vs "hanging out with the guys."

Also trans women can have vaginas (surgery), and it is possible to be born with a vagina but no (functioning) uterus.

The way the OP phrases it rules out trans men who have vaginas, trans women who have vaginas, and a bunch of cis women who've had certain pelvic traumas or cancers and therefore don't have vaginas.

What he's trying to say is "if you were born with a vagina and you align with it" which is actually still funny because I was born with my vagina, I like my vagina, I'll be happily keeping it even after all my surgeries....but if this OP saw my face he would put me in the "trans man" bucket because they lack nuance around identity.

Mmmmmm'lady

Are Beavers really cute? The teeth of these large water rodents are orange because they are full of iron; these teeth never stop growing.

But if you are being serious, women don't really like being reduced to names that refer to their pudendum. It is objectifying.

Edit: just realized which sub this is posted in. Oh well, think of the vocab word "Pudendum" as my Xmas gift to you. (Refers to a woman's external genitals, ie. vulva.)

It’s important to note that jailbait featured girls who were intentionally posed/looked much younger than bordering 17. I think people might try to justify it/imagine it as older looking teenagers, it was not.

The mods/power users also traded CSAM, and comment sections were used for trading the real thing. There may have been official rules against it, but these communities had codes.

There was also violentacrez little empire. I don’t understand what purpose a community like “picsofdeadkids” has. I think even if you are a free speech absolutist you can question what obligation Reddit had to host such content.

Adorable little slut? 😡

My adorable little slut? 🥺

(it's me, I'm the adorable slut)

Princess is a nasty thing to call a woman. https://medium.com/@viridiangrail/princesses-are-nsfw-f9e6c3d4532d

Hello, my name! 👋

"Make me a sammich, jewbacca117" just doesn't have the same ring to it

With 117 I can only do chief, sorry.

I suppose I can call you my name if you really want.

Is your name Mayor? Or is that your title?

Here in Australia we use male/female all the time.

I physically cringe when I see Americans say stuff like “woman politician” instead of “female politician”. It sounds so grammatically wrong, that you legit sound like a caveman impression (ex. “Grug go car”).

Having said that, we would also never refer to women as females. There’s some grammar rules that dictate when we use either, but female is certainly the more common term.

Well, English is not the native language where I'm from. So perhaps it must be the cultural context for the word "man"? I mean, we don't use the words "male-female" much outside biological contexts as well.... I've just rarely seen anyone use the words "man/woman" for anyone our age (we're young adults for context).
