Male/female toilets sound creepy to you?
Comment on These dames wanting inclusivity
OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoOutside of a clinical/scientific setting? It’s comes off a bit creepy. If a guy in a social setting refers to women as “females,” it seems derogatory- as if they were talking about look lesser animals.
In online forums like Lemmy or Reddit, if someone calls women “females,” I always picture that person as a Ferengi from Star Trek.

“Male/female toilets” is not the same thing as “males/females”

The fact that it apparently doesn’t sound creepy to you is creepy. You priapic huuumahn.

It only really comes off as weird when they’re used as nouns. As adjectives they’re generally pretty unobjectionable.

I wouldn’t have a problem with someone using males/females in a vacuum, but all too often I read men/females from incels and misogynists on the Internet, so now “females” feels derogatory by default.
