Girl Talk on Yik Yak | if u dont alrdy know, the reason them calling us “females” is offensive is because it plays off the idea that women are just the female version of men. that a man is the standard, and we’re “the females” they get to mate with. it takes away our personhood

woman/women is a noun (and only refers to humans) while female is an adjective

it’s on how it’s used. female being used as a noun reduces us to our body parts and doesn’t refer to us as people.
