  Not sure friend requests count as “looking” in that sense. Young girls is a bit of a reach: young females could mean girls or young women where the age of the girl is unspecified.

  Great job not answering the questions: a sign of real integrity.

    Well if you want an answer to the question it’s purely the way it comes off. A lot of women I know get the ick when people use the word female in that context.

      A lot of women I know get the ick

      And a lot don’t. Icks aren’t valid reasons & can be unjustified.

      We all can read context as written without free associating extra assumptions. The context doesn’t indicate offensive use of females.

      If you read what someone wrote, twist it into something else, & judge them for it, that is unjustified. What good does it promote?

      More broadly

      if you want an answer

      wasn’t given. As stated before

      Regardless of motive, the act is the same: indiscriminately picking problems over females. If everyone did that, females would be generally accepted as a dirty, toxic word.

      The question remains: what good is advanced by treating females like a dirty, toxic word?

        None at all, and the real argument wasn’t that females is a dirty toxic word. It’s the context in which it is used.
