that when women refer to other women as “females” rather than “women” or something similar, they think it’s trashy

Do you consider it a classy thing to say? Like just think about it

It’s the biological equivalent of women in our society. It dehumanizes women to just being who they are biologically. We don’t call men “males”

any specifies can be female while woman is exclusively the term for female human beings. also you can’t tell me that you don’t hear men especially say “females” to dehumanize us like they deadass use it as a slur

I mean no, I don’t usually hear or take it as a slur and I’m sorry that you take it that way. I mean this respectfully but there are worse things to worry about, like when I actually get called slurs 😭

I understand your point, but again, why do we care what they say or think? I get it’s dehumanizing, degrading, and literally exhausting but their words are only as powerful as we make them 🤷‍♀️ I’m just saying in this case I don’t think it’s that big of a deal

Regardless, is that not what being called a woman is? Women are females, just human.

Now I’m not saying I want that, I’m just saying the context is what makes or breaks it yk? Like if someone was looking for me and said “oh she’s the female standing in the back over there” I personally don’t see anything wrong with that

Just a weird way of wording it 😂

nobody says it in that context tho😭😭 it’s always to generalize us or to make fun of us and that’s the issue

Well i don’t think narrowing it down to the word “female” is doing it justice. I think it’s more the fact men make fun of or degrade us…

it’s less giving them power & more avoiding them because it’s reflective of their attitude towards women (i.e. boiling us down to our body/parts)
