NeroMan who calls women "females" hopes to one day be allowed within 500 meters of one – The Chaser
I love the scent of a female.
I find there’s nothing better than harvesting the scent of a female in a tank, with flower petals of course, and then scraping it off thier skin. Someday I hope to use it in all five chords of a fragrance.

Annoyed_🦀 As a humanoid male, i too love the scent of a homo sapien female.
As a sentient homo sapien, I find myself inexorably drawn to the olfactory stimuli emitted by the female of our species, which invoke an unparalleled sensory euphoria within the neural pathways of my encephalon. 🧐
You dropped your fedora, redditor!
samus12345Give your self some credit! You were able to write that sentence and post it on the internet, so you’re sapient, not merely sentient!

What… why… when did you come up with that username. I regret interpreting it
#I love the scent of a female.
Hahahuaha jokes on them, they don’t know I have a cat so I am sharing a chair with a female at this exact moment in time!
uisPet the cat. Pet the kitty! Now!
I do as I am commanded. The kitty has been pet.

ICING ON TOP.
Those guys are the rapiest ones. It’s disingenuous to act like the types of men who call women ‘females’ aren’t the same guys who neg, space invade and spike drinks.
It's fairly common where I live, of both genders.
Do people commonly say “men and females” where you live?
Men/males.
No, everybody negs, space invades and spikes drinks.
You neg, space invade and spike peoples drinks? That’s really fucked up bro.
“It is unfair how I am treated,” he said, “the moment I see a female and say ‘hello there female’ they always leave after saying something. I don’t know what they said because I wasn’t listening but they are being very rude.”
“I don’t understand what it is that makes women seem uncomfortable around me… likely they are just intimidated to be in the presence of a real alpha man like me. I don’t blame them for that.”
I know you’re joking but that last paragraph made me throw up in my mouth a little bit
It’s not really a joke, that’s just two paragraphs from the article copy/pasted.

Ok I will totally admit that, especially when during DEI discussions or other similar meetings, when my brain is about to say “woman” I can freak out and over-correct and I have absolutely said “females”.
I used to say “boys and girls”, even my female wife says “girls” is fine, but 1 time in 2009 I got yelled at for using “girls” and I have never recovered.
Saying something that may be perceived as offensive and then later realizing you probably should have said it differently is totally different from saying the same thing unabashedly with zero self-awareness
Why can’t you say ‘woman’ when refering to a woman?
Sometimes it feels awkward. I’m getting used to it but for some reason it’s unnatural. My women friends in real life also find it weird to say women, they also say females.
Do you also have ‘man friends’ in real life? Or do you say ‘male friends’?
I don’t really say man either, I guess I would prefer to say male friends or guy friends.

Watch the language little boy, there's females present
like if ur a noble rabbit
That’s what we were instructed to use to refer to a subset of our platoon-mates while working, in those rare cases where it made a difference. One of my DS, an MP from Halifax, would absolutely tear a strip off you if she heard you say ‘girl’ or ‘woman’, in barely comprehensible English out from under that scary red Beret, and you knew the woe was coming.
tacosanonymousAs a recovered Marine, I know too well how sexist the military is especially under the guise of “nomenclature.”
I honestly thought you meant she was a Member Of Parliament from Halifax, though that sounds way scarier.
I just made a comment about this too! The “male” and “female” vernacular is alive and well in the US military as well!
Clinical nomenclature has a place but social interactions aint it
I will never understand the drama over the word “female”.
I set up a doctor’s appointment the other day, and I was asked if I had a doctor preference. I responded and said “I’d prefer a female doctor.” According to the internet, apparently I should have asked for a “woman doctor”.
Reversing the gender, I’d be asking for either a “male doctor” or a “man doctor”. I will literally never use the phrase “I’d prefer a man doctor, please.” Because it has weird connotations, and doesn’t even roll off the tongue as well.
So because I believe in male/female equality, I am necessarily required to treat them the same, with similar varieties of words.
So what’s the problem? Give me a reason why I should use the less technical versions of words that invoke social-gender-stereotypes when I want to avoid all of that entirely.
You’ve been told (probably at length) what women in general prefer to be called. It’s probably even been explained to you. Your feigning ignorance about why is just saying that you don’t find those answers satisfactory.
You’re free to call women “females” and you can justify it however you want, just like I’m free to allow absolutely zero people who refer to me as “female” (outside of very limited clinical circumstances) to touch my tits.
Would you say ‘women doctor’ in this scenario?
Weird of you to continue the argument at this point really
It was a genuine question. I have no argument here. I don’t know the best term in this situation.
If people prefer “women doctor” then call them “women doctor”.
U speaking for the people now?
irreticentYour comment made me curious so I checked and 235 comments in 3 days? Wow! You must really enjoy whatever it is you’re trying to accomplish here. Good luck with this endeavor!
Thank you!
It ain't much, but it's honest work!
I actually say “lady doctor.” Because I do prefer a doctor who is a woman and “lady doctor” sounds fancy.
I actually say “lady doctor.”
But what if you are in country where aristocracy doesn’t exist?
I do exist in such a country! But I was recently called “quirky” so I guess take my advice as you will.
I assume there are also other criteria as well?
Lol yeah, there is quite a bit of criteria.
You do you, and you may have any preferences to words you like.
I’m personally out of the loop on the entire “female debate”. Please do not assume everyone in the world knows everything about it perfectly well. (I’m not original commenter though, can’t comment on that).
Do women find this term objectifying, like a female animal seen in biology primarily from a reproductive side or something? Does it feel like you’re not treated as a deep and complex human and minimized to a sex object?
That’s what I can probably come up with as a first thought.
Personally, I just use terms “male” and “female” where they normally traditionally fit within the language, and I use them for both men and women. I have never seen males reacting negatively to be called that, but I’ve seen many females triggered, which is curious to me.
Maybe women are responding “triggered” because you sound like a fucking dick?
“I refer to women in a demeaning and shitty way. In a way that makes them seem like they are below me. And they tend to be so triggered by it. Hmmm so curious. 🧐”
Does that not trigger something in your tiny brain? Do you not think “Hmmm… Maybe they don’t like it. I should stop doing it as to not be a piece of shit.”
OR you enjoy it when are a bully and enjoy it when people get upset at you for being shitty to them.
So it’s either you have the intelligence of a tennis ball, or you’re a fucking dick.
You should reflect on that.
Nah, you (and apparently a shitton of people who disliked the previous comment into oblivion) made a lot of assumptions about me, and the only reason I’m having this tone is exactly in response to such aggressive actions.
I am genuinely out of the loop, and it’s just recently that I found a lot of opposition to the use of the word “female”. I want to know what is standing behind that, as I didn’t see the same reaction to the word “male” constantly used, nor do I personally see any problem with it as a male.
I want people to stop assuming everyone is trying to hurt them and go on a full on crusade against people who are genuinely curious on what’s behind it or are unknowingly doing something offensive.
Instead, I get yet another attack. If you are truly enlightened on the source of such reactions, I’d rather have you explain it to me, so I would know more on why is it exactly such a problem, and how massive it is.
Referencing my tiny brain or my character isn’t gonna cut it, and by that you’ll keep people out of the loop and radicalized by such an attitude.
I’m not reading all of that. Stop being a baby and listen to people when they say they don’t like you calling them something. I very much doubt this is the first time you were asked to not use the word “female” when talking to a woman.
If you’re not signing some important document or in a medical setting, don’t talk to women and use the word female on them. It makes you sound like a demeaning dick.
“I just don’t understand why females do this” “Please stop calling us females. It makes it sound like we are less than men. Just call us women.” “Oh okay, no problem.”
Tadaaa. Problem fixed. Not that big of a deal.
“I’m not reading all of that”
Could have stopped there. Ignorance is bliss, huh? Allows you to rage on someone who literally explained they didn’t mean any offensive behavior and were genuinely asking.
But you do you.
You’re incredibly patient. I commend you, really.
No idea what’s going on as well, by the way.
Thanks :)
You’re just choosing to be outraged for the sake of drama. I’m sorry if one person in your past has called you a “female” offensively, but lets consider moving on from it.
It’s just a word. It’s not a slur.
The word “woman” is not any better, and even has its own issues with preconceptions. Every time you come across someone who is trying to be stereotypically traditional and enforce any idea of classic societal gender roles, they refer to themselves as a MAN or a WOMAN.
Because I generally interact with people who are uncomfortable being assigned traditional gender roles, it’s more comfortable to think of them as their biological sex–male or female, so that I am not projecting gender stereotypes on them
Now why don’t you chill out?
