These dames wanting inclusivity

Whatever happened to "femoid"? I know I read that one somewhere.

"of the feminine species"

Uh, do you want to explain to this guy what a species is, or do I have to?

So much cultural imperialism in here.

Once US-Americans decide how they want a word used, they will harrass and cyber-bully everyone into using it the same way / using the same word

Boys, you need to realize that english isn't "your" language. You don't get to decide how others speak it.

Is this why they always ask how to define "woman"?

Sexism is a helluva drug.

Meanwhile: males, dudes, guys, homies, fellas, bois, bros, lads, laddie, mates, geezers, chaps, gents, boss, hoss, cheif, buddy, pal, son, sonny, sonny boy, muchacho, hombre, old timer, Mac, Joe..

"Yeah what's up?"

I don't think we need to cancel Guys and Dolls just yet.

A reliable source on TV told me you can't go wrong with

That's a huge word salat salad just to say "I'm an incel"

Dudettes

Nothing wrong with the word female.

In most contexts, you’d just say…”people”.

Or, if you’re actually trying to make a demographic-wide statement, like how women aren’t good at video games, you’d just say:

“IGNORE ME, I AN A SEXIST MORON.”

Basically, the meme isn’t much meant for the word choice, it’s how often incels have statements to make on half the population.

the feminine species

Women implies the existence of nimen and tamen

You remember how everyone just used to say women 10-20 years ago? I guess that's woke now. So much for conserving.

'feminine species' 😭😭😭

No, they want to be called LA class nuclear powered attack submarine.

We're in shit posting after all.

Happy Xmas, ya filthy animal!

Im a hoe and I dont have a vagina so it clearly doesn't even work 😋

Girl, woman

Come on, that's just obvious bait

As a magical talking lion, I always go with, "Daughter of Eve."

Yes but he's not looking for a woke word for "females", so "women" doesn't help.

feminine species

"people with vaginas" is one option ig. or if they also identify as women, cis women is another option

Lass

Here I go once again with the email
Every week I hope that it's from a female

Oh :( Not from a female

Lady

clearly ingenue is the correct choice

or for a potential fun comment thread: is dude gendered? I grew up in a place where a lot of people called everyone dude regardless of gender. That said, when I’ve brought this up, some people get real heated about it.

What is the difference between "people with vaginas" and "people with vaginas of the feminine species"? And what is the "feminine species"? Is it some (unspecified?) species where every specimen is of the feminine gender?

Trans women want to be referred to as just women, and biological women don't want to be referred to as Cis women, so other than female, what is there?

I agree that I get the ick from female when referred to by certain men, but at this point, I don't see another option.

I love that this dumb dumb made a post on reddit. There are search engines, large language models, and the good ole thesaurus to find words that are synonyms. Figure. It. Out.

Female humans

Kinda long way to say women

Holy shit, R*ddit denouncing misogyny

Broads.

Wo-men? Well, I've heard of men, but this sounds like a foreign language to me.

I call em Snatchers

'Tarts' implies sweetness

I think

The wimwams

My sides. xD

I like "broads" mself.

"It's Ma'am"

Girl?

I call them flighty broads

Do women wanna be called "women" tho? I don't mean this rhetorically, but as a genuine question.

I for example, would hate to be called a "man". It just makes me sound old. I would prefer being referred to as "male", or anything that isn't the word "man". This is applicable to a lot of my friends too. Don't women feel the same way?

'Extra-chromo-sapiens'.

The other ones are 'whiny-chromo-sapiens'.

'Arsehole' is a good cross gender term for any humans of known or unknown sex.

"seat-pee-ers"?

Except "woman" doesn't mean "female person" anymore, it means "anyone who identifies as a woman" because attaching any common noun at all for people based on sex rather than gender would be accused of transphobia.

It's kind of like if someone asked what the term for the sexual orientation of someone who is interested in partners they could hypothetically reproduce with is, the answer is there isn't one and suggesting there should be will get called transphobic.

What is a woman?

To be fair, I use Female sometimes because...actually, I don't want to fully explain. Has something to do with search tags.

If you call people with vaginas women, you now cross the line for trans folks.

No matter how you phrase it, there will always be someone you will offend. In the case of the word "female" this is driven purely by some folks finding ways to use it offensively, despite it being just as neutral as "women"

Don't assume malicious intent every time someone uses the word "female" - most likely, they have never put any negative connotations to it and possibly never even heard of this word being used in a negative context.
