Has anyone noticed a slight uptick in women - usually in male-dominated spaces - calling themselves females? I find it so jarring when I encounter it. Like. Internalised misogyny is such a bitch ):
Some of this coincides with transphobia.
That makes so much sense. Fuck
i've seen this several times but only at white collar office job settings
Death to America
Yep. I grew up in those places. Where those women quote New Testament verses about women needing to be quiet in church, or telling me that women shouldn't be in a position of power because [offensive reasons].
I feel like Penn Jillette would be the first to do this lol. At least once upon a time, I think he started to recover from his libertarianism last I heard of him. He also had Michael Parenti on his show once

God, I hope so. Of all of the heinous shit that I've done in my life, I consider reflexively trying to catch him when he tripped over the stage steps when I saw him at the Rio to be, well, it's in the top 50.
The best part of that night was waiting for a cab next to a bunch of Aussie tourists who were genuinely freaked out by his "keep a tiny metal bill of rights in your pocket when you go through TSA" and "carry a 3-D printed gun with you on the plane in case the gubbermint tries to take your guns away while you're on a plane" schtick. Like, yes, gaggle of early-20something Aussie girls, it is that level of batshit here, and you decided that it sounded like a fun tourist destination, "gambling Mecca run by organized crime" notwithstanding.
For Tibet, right...
lol
BbellHhooks will sometimes use "females" and "males" in her books.bell hooks*
all lowercase when you spell the woman's name
oh interesting, I didn't know it was a pen name.

What part of this meme do you not understand?
#DISCARDED!!
what if they're going for an alliteration thing like "females and fellas"
Haven't seen this format for a while ^^

You're right, I should have been saying "femoids" this whole time
Edit: or maybe "hoes"
"and the female was like, [visibly fighting the urge to corpse], 'AHH, KYLE!'"
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Seriously asking, i seen "females" and "males" used everywhere including here, is it not ok? I was under impression that in English those are neutral words (unlike in Polish where its very insulting when used for humans).
The problem is that a lot of misogynists will use "females" to describe women and "men" to describe men. I don't use reddit anymore but there was a subreddit about this very thing called r/MenAndFemales
Ty for answer
Think about it in a similar vein to the word jew. You can tell exactly when someone is using it as a noun specifically to be offensive. There also are ways you wouldn't normally use those words very often if you aren't a bigot.
Or the word "gay" lmao
