I'm so glad these losers use "female". I don't have to waste time taking them seriously.
Which makes the impact of the whole "sexual assault" tirade slightly less impacting, right. Still insulting.
How is it not specific enough and what is this current environment?
Every time I hear someone refer to a woman as a female that person is invariably some kind of incel loser.
I know everyone's sick of me saying it but that dude is probably a low-key transphobe.
I highkenuinely support your endeavors to point righteous fingers
Most incels are. They hate women and trans women are women.
Bingo. Transphobia allows them to exert misogyny on an "acceptable" target while also policing femininity in a broader sense.
Could be. Answering the clarifying questions I asked might clear that up.
"woman" is the term you are looking for. Doesn't have to be any more specific than that unless you're a fucking doctor
They're not of the correctly gendering crowd, ergo their use of "female" is inherently derogatory. That's the point. It's not the word, per se, but the sub-cultural use of it.
The fuck are you talking about?
