Chris are you a man or a woman?
George and Dan, what kind of females do you want to meet? Wouldn't you
prefer a *human* female? Those are called "women". A "female" could be
an ant, a polar bear, a lobster, etc..
Ask a few women. Do they prefer to be called "women" or "females"? I
imagine the answer is "women." "Female" as a term to refer to women is
literally dehumanizing.
If you want to meet women and have them like you, it's a good idea to at
least recognize that they are human when you speak about them.
The use of the terms "males" and "females" by police is one example of
the many means by which they dehumanize people.
You might want to examine your attitudes toward women while you are
looking to meet one.
Best wishes,
Eli
Jesus, do you dissect everything so literally? Anybody with a working
brain knew exactly what Dan meant. He never equated the word "female"
with the word "degrading". You did.
