4	Just had an eye opening experience about the word “female” with 3 of my friends Nothing says doctoral mastery of the English language and professionalism quite like your opening “dick measuring contest haha”. But it’s okay, and I’m fine with you thinking whatever you want of me. I’m an M.D./PhD (hence the peer-reviewed academic publishing work) but, as you note, that is certainly not required to expose a shoddy argument. Comment history is public here on Reddit and anyone who wants to can check my profile and see a generic list of comments covering literature, film, philoso…	/r/MensRights	09/06/24 01:30 AM

6	Just had an eye opening experience about the word “female” with 3 of my friends This is where we differ, flatly. I would not at all think it sounds “fucking weird” if someone said “the three males”. Such phrasing is said all the time and while it could sound coldly clinical or technical to some, like yourself, to others it doesn’t. Those people to whom it sounds euphonic may be as literate or even more-so than yourself, and there are people with PhDs in English who would disagree with your absolutist stance. These facts are obvious but you have a tendency thus far to omit o…	/r/MensRights	09/06/24 12:04 AM
5	Just had an eye opening experience about the word “female” with 3 of my friends This may be an astonishing news flash for you, but male and female humans are biological entities, and homo sapien sapiens are animals. Whether you like it or not, the standard language in both the scientific communities and in ordinary language readily permits of the term “males” for men and “females” for women. You can take offense all you want but it in no way indicates that there is some basis for this offense in the language itself. When I am speaking less formally, I say men/women, or boys…	/r/MensRights	08/06/24 11:24 PM

12	Just had an eye opening experience about the word “female” with 3 of my friends No, this is ridiculous. We use male and female as both nouns and adjectives and interchangeably, i.e. I routinely read and publish professional scientific articles where we use language such as “heart disease rates among males/heart disease rates among females”. This is grammatical and standard usage and both grammatical and etymological analysis shows this very plainly. It is a senseless gripe about grammatically and culturally standard use and no ground should ever be given in any sense to thi…	/r/MensRights	08/06/24 10:51 PM
9	Just had an eye opening experience about the word “female” with 3 of my friends I was lectured on this spontaneously by some insufferable harpy. I had said male and female several times but once she started being put on her hind hoof during the debate she suddenly started taking offense to my use of the word female. She claimed something along the blurry lines of “female is used to describe plants and animals; women are women” or some such nonsense. I thought I’d go for the jugular of “so you take offense when someone describes themselves as male to female or female to male…	/r/MensRights	08/06/24 10:44 PM

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
