Dare ObasanjoI’ve never met a guy who called women “females” who didn’t say it like it was a slur.
marceles 🌴🌴@carnage4life saying something like the females bathroom is just weird
Vega Cassidy Claire Harmonia @carnage4life hey at least it's not "femoids"
Yassie > moved to 0w0.is@amberxorluci @carnage4life femoids makes me shudder
Aviva Gary@carnage4life probably true for the whole...
FortunateFool 🧊🦐@carnage4life I've seen it online and on youtube quite a bit and not in an intentionally derogatory way. The people that use it are often uneducated and clearly hang out with the wrong people. It's very cringe

I always hear it in a David Attenborough voice in my head:
"The females of the species congregate in the bathroom for safety..."
Rachel Happe 🐘@carnage4life TBH same with women who call men “males”… except that doesn’t actually happen 😏

Phillip of Mastodon@Abstruse Came here for the Ferengi pic, was not disappointed.
kelleynnn@Abstruse @carnage4life the Ferengi *started* my husband doing it
Douglas Patriarche@carnage4life The Canadian Armed Forces uses “female” extensively as a noun and verb to refer to women. People who have served in the CAF tend to use the word in regular conversation (and not as a slur). People who served in the US military might be the same.
Chris Ferdinandi@carnage4life INSTANT red flag. Always fucking creepy.
nitzanms@carnage4life and yet the common term for eng women is "female engineers" 😬
HLGEMWhat is especially offensive about that is that Male is never a qualifier in these cases. It is engineers and female engineers as if they weren't really actual engineers.
Nick's world@girlonthenet @carnage4life this. So much this. We should normalize not calling women females. In fact, let's just trash insel culture entirely shall we?

@carnage4life almost always followed up with some weird statement about “biology”
Alman-Häschen@carnage4life Says much about the society you live in.
Not much about people who call others male, female or whatever else.

Ah, that's the one where they've been told they can't call grown women 'girls', so they default to delivering 'females' with as much scorn as they can muster.

Omar Jarjur@carnage4life I will never be able to read that without hearing it in my head with a Ferengi voice… usually with a few disdainful interjections of “hu-man” interspersed in it.
Scott marsroverdriver Maxwell@carnage4life I can hear it only in a Ferengi voice. "FEE-males."

The Skeptic's Book of Lists@carnage4life I cringe when guys refer to women as "ladies". Notably to their face.
nebulos@carnage4life The reddit crowd always finds someone to say "it's okay I picked it up from the military" which, uh, just proves the point.
