    Here’s an example quoting a story in the news:

    “What if I would have been armed,” she said. “You’re breaking in. What am I supposed to think? My initial thought was we were being robbed—that my daughters, being females, were being kidnapped. You have guns pointed in our faces. Can you just reprogram yourself and see us as humans, as women? A little bit of mercy. […]"

    Is that mother committing “the biggest self report” by referring to her daughters as females or are you just wrong? Examples like this abound in nonsexist language.

    Uncritically treating the noun female like a dirty word & going after any use of it is ironically misogynist in effect despite intent to counteract misogyny. Feminism deserves better than moronic language policing that promotes sexism.

      men referring to themselves as men but women as females

      Oh, my mistake — I didn’t realize I was dealing with an American. This is where I refer to ‘literacy below a 3rd grade level’ and how you should try to stay on topic.

      Edit: To further my point — she is not casually referring to her daughters as simply being females of reproductive age. She’s pointing it out because it’s a very clear factor in the threatening circumstance they were in.

      This is in no way, shape or form, the same thing as an incel referring to a woman as a female and themselves as a man.

        What are you quoting and what men/males are you referring to?

        An example of a male referring to female humans as females would indicate misogyny to you. But an example of woman clearly using the word inoffensively without solicitation proves nothing?

        No conceivable possibility can contradict your position: you’re confirmation bias personified.

        Maybe explain what you’d expect to show that men can refer to older male humans and female (in the context of humans) can refer to female humans of any age?

          I am quoting my comment, you trog. I am literally telling you to pay attention to the thread.

          You’re intentionally obtuse and misrepresenting ‘evidence’, evidence that couldn’t be further from the discussion. A mother discussing males being a threat to females is in no way the same thing as a wannabe fascist virgin only referring to women as ‘females’ because they aren’t anything other than something to be owned and fucked.

          Hell, you can be an incel and refer to men and women as male and female. There is context here that’s important, something you willfully ignore because it directly exposes how disngenuous your argument is.

          Every further argument and retort from this point on will be met with ad hominem, because you will either recognize what I’m saying or do not deserve to be treated with respect.

A mother discussing males being a threat to females is in no way the same thing as a wannabe fascist virgin only referring to women as ‘females’ because they aren’t anything other than something to be owned and fucked.

            See, you evidently accept the noun female for female humans isn’t itself sexist, because context is necessary: point proven.

            Then there’s that assumption. How do you know they’re a “a wannabe fascist virgin only referring to women as ‘females’” merely from seeing someone write female as a noun in a frivolous comment? You’re reading a tremendous amount into a few words & going after anyone over them. Where’s your context to support that?

            Your checklist seems to be: could be male ✔️ used female as a noun referring to humans ✔️, so attack.

            There is context here that’s important

            Exactly.

            you willfully ignore

            I was saying the same about you from the beginning, friend. Are you projecting?

            ad hominem

            That just confirms your irrationality. You think the words of an irrational person hurt anyone here?

              I’m not continuing this. Arguing for men who would use the term interchangeably with bitches is fucking baffling. I sincerely hope for your sake that you’re autistic — because the other explanations for your defense of this topic are bad. They are either; you are an incel (derogatory) or you are a very stupid woman.

                They may not be. Without firm context, you don’t know, which even you admitted: welcome to the point.

                autistic

                I admire the way autists often follow rules/logic with integrity, a severe shortcoming in some neurotypicals.

                the other explanations

                They are either; you are an incel (derogatory) or you are a very stupid woman.

                You left out the simplest explanation: you’re wrong.

                  No, you’re applying blind empathy to people who are just misogynistic. Now I’m sure of it, you’re a limp dicked incel that’s upset he doesn’t get a free pass to hate women.

                  I didn’t realize the debatelords were leaving Reddit, that’s a really bad thing — please go back.
