Comment on At least Quark had some integrity.
MisterMoo@lemmy.world 1 day agoSorry but “woman” is not an adjective and its use that way is grating. You wouldn’t say “man teacher” and it sounds wrong. So does “woman lawyer” or “woman voter.”
The neckbeard/incel thing is using “female” when “woman” would be acceptable and more common, like “look at these females” or something. It doesn’t mean we have to abolish the word “female” entirely from the lexicon.

Yeah, that seems to align nicely with the instincts I outlined in my comment. No need to apologize. Thanks!
