Comment on Dude read the rules of woman only community and decided to post anyway

  I don’t think people are bothered by “female coworker”, which is perfectly normal. It’s the reference to a “female-only” community, when the actual com is called WomensStuff and describes itself as “women only” and “a women’s community”.

    Maybe it’s just me, but in female-only community, I’m using female as part of a composed adjective. I’d say male-only community too, it just feels more natural. In fact, in an earlier comment I wrote women only, and then writing man only felt SO bad that I changed both to female and male.

    Now that I think about it it’s probably because I used man instead of men. I’ll change both back but OOP miiight have followed my logic? Idk

    Ok. I somehow missed that. I scanned for other uses of "female" a few times but was blinded to the one right next to coworker.

  Incel behavior includes using “female” as a noun when talking about women.

  Sure: A -> B != B => A

  You … know that, right?

    I have no idea what you're trying to communicate, but I do understand the logical expression you used.

      Probably trying to say that just because incels (allegedly) use the term “female,” it doesn’t mean that a person using that word must then be an incel.

        Thanks. I'm not saying the poster is an incel. I'm just saying the objection to misuse of "female" has been primed by incels (and Ferengi). Without incels, there wouldn't be such a knee jerk revulsion to it.
