Why are women so triggered by being called "females" ?

Female sounds sterile and weird. Woman means adult human female. So just say woman. It’s grammatically correct and more precise! 😌🖤

It just shows that you don't really respect us. And its usually used by misogynists

by 🧁🦄🪽🍭 · 4 hearts

“females” can sound clinical, detached, or even animal-like. It can come across as reducing women to biology instead of treating them as people. A lot of women also associate it with certain online communities where the word is used in a pretty hostile or dismissive way.

They're incels

Most aren't, its what we are, But if you look up the definition it says this : Humans: Females typically possess ovaries, a uterus, and two X chromosomes. So it just refers to an organ, not the person

Bc who the fuck says that. Sounds fucking weird and too damn technical. Doesn’t it sound weird to say “look at that male over there, he’s so tall”

I do say male/males because the word m*n makes me super uncomfy :'(

Woman = Adult Human Female. Female = used to describe animals

by GenXogre · 0 hearts

Got it. Adult human female just not female. Riiiiggghhhtt. SMH

by Korolëva · 1 heart

Yes, because a female child is called a girl

by GenXogre · 0 hearts

Both are female. You just need something to be mad about.

by white_avalanche · 4 hearts

Its objectifying because you wouldnt call an animal woman but you would call it a female

by ForFoxSake · 4 hearts

It's not the word itself. It's what it signals about the person using it

by GoldenParties · 4 hearts

No one is triggered. They’re just laughing at you. Again.

Why do you post on hush all day instead of working like a real man? Some questions don’t have answers.

by GenXogre · 0 hearts

Another whore telling men what "real men" do. So boring

by pepperjellie · 1 heart

Well first things first you’re a male not a man.

by GenXogre · 0 hearts

Ok skankenstein, so? I'm not a pathetic blowhard that can't stomach being referred to by my sex. That's you cunts.

by HatefulBaker · 4 hearts

It's not a trigger so much as it is an indicator that someone spends way too much time on incel forums

by The Black Susie · 4 hearts

I call myself and other women, women. I will admit that people who says female usually have a negative attitude and opinion toward women.

Cuz I’m not an animal. It’s disrespectful

by GenXogre · 0 hearts

That seems like a you problem that the rest of society doesn't need to cater to.

by Latenight_dove · 3 hearts

the tone 😒😒😒

by BengalTigeress · 3 hearts

Because too many people have used it in a derogatory way to the point where its now mainly seen as an an insult.

by plum_intervention · 3 hearts

Same reason u get triggered for being called Y chromosome male

by violet_possum · 3 hearts

It's not offensive, it's just a term normally used by incels

by Little Miss Mia · 3 hearts

It's dehumanizing. Females could be any species.

by Deactivaten · 0 hearts

Yet it’s not dehumanizing for men to be called males.

by Kitty_kisser69 · 3 hearts

Same reason a man wouldn't want to be called boy. It's not the appropriate term to describe an adult woman outside of a scientific or medical context.

by GenXogre · 0 hearts

False comparison. If you want to be accurate, you'd have to use male and men don't give a fuck. But you DON'T want to be accurate. That's very female dude

by Kitty_kisser69 · 0 hearts

😂

by Kitty_kisser69 · 0 hearts

I'm not surprised by your response given you were stupid enough to need to ask to begin with

by WhimsiGothRed · 3 hearts

Because its meant to offend by stripping women of humanity. Don't be dense.

by hatemen · 3 hearts

because females can be any species. like a female dog, a female pinguin, a female whale. A woman is a female human so just fucking use woman. But I guess common sense is just absent.

by Backdrop_Return · 2 hearts

If you aren't socially mature enough to tell the difference from when someone is trying to degrade you and when someone is using the word legitimately you should probably consider stopping talking to people.

by hatemen · 0 hearts

but it is always used to degrade women. normal people simply use the word woman. it is a micro aggression, as it is called. arguing about intention is fucking stupid in this situation lol

by Backdrop_Return · 0 hearts

There are loads of legitimate reasons to use the word female? Words related to female are often used exclusively for humans, like feminine, femininity, feminism. What you are doing is blaming other people for your inability to tell the difference. Your emotional immaturity isn't anyone elses responsibility. If i say female and it hurts you, I would apologise for offence caused where it wasn't intended. But ultimately it's not my fault you can't tell the difference.

by Argonian_Maid · 3 hearts

People that are chronically online need to come up with something to be mad about in order to feel like they have a sense of community 🙄 I am a female and you're more than welcome to refer to me that way. If you're talking shit about women, grouping us all together, and using the word female as a negative thing, then sure I can understand people being annyoed. But if you're just referring to women as females neutrally, then who fucking cares

by LuvYerMoneyNotU · 0 hearts

No, you're just chronically uninformed. Men use "females" usually when they're being derogatory. The word itself isn't derogatory, men don't say "women", they say "females", which often is something people with no home training use. "Y'all females/You females/etc". Sincerely, a sex worker. Please be quiet, you fucking pick me, and stay in your lane, the stupidity HURTS.

Look, a whore with an incorrect opinion that generalizes all men.

by 🌌PurpleWench🔮 · 3 hearts

Not triggering by any means lol but it's very telling behavior. Usually said by a very particular type of guy lmao
