It kind of reminds of hearing anti-trans people discuss how unnatural it is to use they as a pronoun. Which as you well know, is ridiculous since they is already a pronoun when referring to people whose gender you don't know (like when writing e-mails to someone you never met but with a unisex name). Though I would assume in this case it is less malicious.
The first sentence of the OP specifically mentions that this is about referring to men as men and women as female. Does your military background also lend you to responding to threads without reading the OP at all?
"they" is also used for plural regardless of gender so I have idea why using it for ungendered people would be weird as well.
Thats not how you spell incels.
Glad to know your wife speaks for all women everywhere.
It can be discussed by women. You don't need to have any say over whether it's okay to refer to women as "females"
Adjectives and nouns are basics. I'm not buying people can write the way they do on this thread in English and don't understand that "she is a female doctor" is using it as an adjectice and "That female is nice" is using it as a noun.
People made the argument that it's offensive because it's meant to be an adjective.
Everyone knows by now the sort of dude who goes around referring to "females" all the time. Acting surprised about this, or seeking out a woman in their life who disagrees, is just some contrarian game they are playing.
No, it does not. It says 'never more than when', as in the instance as a subset of the issue.
I feel like we're not on too different of pages then.
I said that on this very page. I agree OP did a bad job, I'm trying to give you additional information. However, I'd argue OP did talk about context when they said people who say "man" then in the same breath says "female". Pretty clearly points out the context we're talking about
