  The actual fuck? No it’s not. Get your stupid ass off the Internet for 5 fucking mins.

  Its a bit presumptuous to assume it’s a “male” who wants to oggle lady bits and not a “female” wanting to oggle lady bits.

  But male and female are perfectly fine words for a topic who’s context boils down to what sex you prefer to oggle

    Eh, I will admit I tend to notice poor takes from people who refer to half the population as “females” routinely.

    It’s accurate, in the same way “a bag of flesh” is accurate. But it’s also strictly “othering” for many phrases where you could just be talking about all people, or use the simpler “women” or “men”. Besides, it’d be perfectly fair to knock a lesbian for being excessively horny to the point she wants Supergirl to look sexually exposed in a fight.

    I will apologize for nitpicking words, though. It can get grating.
