I don’t care I guess? I know what I’m about.
Just kind of pointing out that the propagation of ideas that look down on people for using inoffensive words doesn’t really help anything. I’m not perfect and would never claim to be, but male and female are words that have been around and used my entire life inoffensively. I occasionally use the word female and I even feel weird about it afterwards because of this strange association, and then I feel mildly annoyed that I even think about it. For what it’s worth, I will even occasionally use the word male to describe a male
I definitely get the pointing out of using the word female to describe women by misogynists and incels, but I wouldn’t have even thought of the word being used in that manner when I read this post which is why I even commented on it in the first place.

Male/female is only weird if you make it weird. Female is easier to type and say than “women/girls”. People have imposed this interesting dynamic about how men look at women or talk about women (and girl childs) that sometimes female might be the best word in some context. It’s not some obscure word, it’s commonly understood. Just let it go and don’t feed into the weirdness.
