Yeah that’s what I meant by my reply, thanks for clarifying
- Comment on Why are expressions like "women artists" or "women writers" used? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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.

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