He said he was recently in a satisfying relationship that really only ended because it was long distance. Yet, he confided, it still all “affects me as far as, like, confidence and wanting to approach new people, especially females”.
I don’t think your micropenis is entirely to blame here, chief
edit: so are we not concerned by calling women females anymore?
I think this commenter is pointing out Mike’s cringey use of “females” and is just imprecise with their communication. Or am I one of their alt accounts defending myself from this ratioing? You be the judge. (I’m not)
Hm I mean as someone that had partners of multiple genders I also refer to them with male/female/nonbinary/trans partners when I objectively talk about something and I am not an incel. So for me this conclusion feels off tbh
Look, I get the incel version on fEmaLeS isn’t liked. But male/female is a perfectly valid way to refer to the 2 sexes. And if you aren’t doing some incel putting down women shit in using the word, I think acting like using female is the same as referring to someone as the n word is just stupid. There was nothing in that statement that sounded disrespectful to women.
I’m sorry, but I this just isn’t true. Calling women females is definitely an incel thing (although admittedly has come more into mainstream (male) lexicon because of the algorithms).
Female/male is an adjective. Woman/man is a noun. A woman is female (not in a TERF way, lol), but she isn’t a female any more than she is a short.
While I’ve not done a deep dive into the origins, incels pushed the female thing it seems largely because they don’t see women as human and want to make them sound like they’re a different species. It might have even started off from incels calling women “the female species” because that’s a term I’ve definitely seen before in those communities.
It objectifies the woman in question, showing that you have no respect to her as a person, and that you just see them as mating material, or a specimen.
You are definitely being downvoted here by men who realize that they’ve used females as a noun and don’t want to admit why that was wrong. I’m sure I will be downvoted too, so let’s be friends!

thank you for explaining it better than I could.

Even outside incel context: bad.

Yeah! But I was going to say something stupid, then thought about why the thing might be, so I reached this conclusion.
