Prof. Julia LeydaOK what is the deal with using "females" instead of "women" or even "people?" As a writer I have always thought "female" as a noun applies to animals but not human beings, because we have words for that: girl or woman.
Wow that link is a monster--will edit this post if it doesn't work.
Is "females" now the preferred unbiased term? (Genuinely baffled, not being snarky).
