Edit: as in, where “woman” or “girl” would be grammatically correct. e.g. “a lot of females work at that company” vs “a lot of women work at that company” or “that company has a lot of female employees”
A bit of the second one, but not fully? I don’t think using “female” as a noun when talking about a person sounded good, but it’s appropriate for animals. I imagine incels chose that because it wasn’t the way people spoke, but was only weird at worst, so it wasn’t that suspicious initially.
This one has bitten me in the ass. Male and female are incredibly common terms in the medical community, but I try to limit my use of female to work only, if at all. On the plus side, I’ve learned I rarely need to use it at work. It literally only matters if we’re doing a deep dive into what’s potentially going on and need to branch out to figure it out
Although with the distinction between gender and sex continually becoming more prevalent in the zeitgeist, I find myself using the terms “male” and “female” more often than I used to.
“Female” instead of woman or girl.

Female is a great adjective but an inappropriate noun.
is it just grammar or just incels ruining that word?

Keeping up with this bullshit is almost a full time job.
That’s a good way to put it.
it helps if you read females like tamales.
Oh man, that’s gonna stick in my brain. Great, thanks.
I’m forced to read “spectacles” like a Greek because of a post like this.
Oooh, my testicles sound so much fancier now!
And how did they get dusted with glitter?!
Where’d you get that bag?
Oh, it’s a shemale
Every time I see the word used outside of a biological context, I imagine the person looks like this:
