You both used it as a noun. Females just come across as you see them as lesser than. When using women it’s recognizing that they are people but if you plug in the rest and say something like “these women are bitches” it still comes across as demeaning. So it depends on what you say. Using females as a noun is demeaning and using women as a noun is not insulting. The only time using females is ok is when you’re using it as an adjective not as a noun
Ok so like we live in a society where men are highest point on a social hierarchy aka patriarchy. Women placed lower in the social hierarchy and face discrimination and belittlement often and daily. Just like in race white people wont face the social oppression that people of color go through on a daily basis because white people aren’t being discriminated against by the government, social life and media. If you disagree then this conversation can’t really go anywhere
