  Yeah that’s what I meant by my reply, thanks for clarifying

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are expressions like "women artists" or "women writers" used?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As a side note, I’ve also literally never seen anyone say “men artists” or “men writers”. What gives?

  Patriarchy. Society defaults to the male. That’s not unique to the English-speaking world, of course.

  By this I meant that people more often say something like “male nurse” than “man nurse”, but I agree, fuck the patriarchy.

  See this thread

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are expressions like "women artists" or "women writers" used?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but I haven’t seen “man nurse” used much as opposed to the other option.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are expressions like "women artists" or "women writers" used?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have seen people say “male artists” (though much less often than the female equivalent), just not “men”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are expressions like "women artists" or "women writers" used?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh, I don’t think “female” is exclusively used to refer to sex. Language is subjective, so there is no objective definition of words that are used to describe something as complex as gender or sex.

  Per Cambridge dictionary:

  female adjective (GENDER)

  belonging or relating to women or girls:

  • she was voted the best female vocalist
  • she was the school’s first trans female athlete.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are expressions like "women artists" or "women writers" used?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, but I think it’s pretty clear from context that in phrases like “female artists”, “female” is used as an adjective that includes all women, and saying “women artists” just sounds clumsy tbh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are expressions like "women artists" or "women writers" used?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In my language (Slovenian) all nouns are gendered, so we don’t really use adjectives to gender nouns. And yes, I agree, saying females or males does sound dehumanizing.

  Thanks for the explanation!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are expressions like "women artists" or "women writers" used?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, that is if you turn “female” into a noun, which does sound weird and dehumanizing, but using “women” as an adjective just sounds incorrect. Maybe people do that because they try to avoid saying “female” at all costs to avoid being accused of misogyny or dehumanization.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are expressions like "women artists" or "women writers" used?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean before being trans became less stigmatised? We’ve always existed.
