The word “female” never made it
into my vocabulary. There are a lot of words that thankfully never
snuck in. It also helps that I didn't start cursing until I was 22. I
was listening to a podcast and this guy kept saying the word female
and it sounded so weird and each time he said it I would think “Dude,
cut that out.” This is not me virtue signaling. Just pointing out
that some words bug people an usually because of the context. I use
words like lady, woman, women folk, and chicks. Chicks has slowly
begun to be replaced by any of those other words. But female never
made its way in. If you hear someone use the word it is almost never
in a way considered good. “This female said...” “All these
females be...” “That place is full of females...” The only time
it sounds not weird is when it is added to an occupation such as
female cop, female firefighter, or female doctor. The word “male”
sounds weird to me unless someone is talking about a wild animal. If
some dude told me he had a lot of female friends I translate that to
“I have a lot of people as friends...that I wanna bone down.”
That's on me.
Even women use the word female against
one another. It's a strange weapon to use. I know when there are
words that suddenly are not okay to say anymore or words that you are
told are not cool to say it is an odd feeling. You have so many
questions. There are some words that were so okay to say back in the
80's that I had to let go of. If you have trouble letting go of
particular words you need to wonder why and when you use those words
and actually do research as to why those words make people feel like
shit. That is pretty much why certain words stop circulating. They
make people feel shitty and you shouldn't pride yourself on making
people feel shitty. I know it is a cool thing these days to make
people feel shitty online. Listen. I get it. Sometimes meaning most
of the time it feels like you are being told to stop saying or doing
something because it hurts the feelings of someone. Chances are you
are using those words because you don't like the person you are using
them against. Spend that time thinking of something you enjoy
instead.
