I been wondering people's opinion of "Female" in some instances. Like is "First Female president/athlete/mayor/lawyer" appropriate? "First woman____" doesn't sound right and you wouldn't say "first man athlete to run 2 hour marathon" you would use male.
Most things can be rephrased maybe, but obviously using Females outside these instances is very right wing cringe.
Okay here's my pirate joke.
A ship is sailing the high seas when the crows nest guy calls down, "Pirate ship ahoy!" The captain tells the cabin boy, "Fetch my reddest jacket!" The boy brings the reddest jacket he can find and the captain puts it on. They engage in battle and sink the pirate ship. The boy asks, "Cap'n, why did you call for your red jacket?" The captain says, "So that if I should be wounded in battle the crew would not notice the blood and lose their fighting spirit."
Next day the crows nest calls down, "Twenty pirate ships ahoy!" The captain tells the cabin boy, "Fetch by brownest pants!"
Do they also pronounce "human" as "hugh mon?"
If so, that's a Ferenghi ship.
I wonder if the joke would work better if it actually was a black background. This might also keep the 'its a sail' gang happier.
With an attitude like that, something tells me that pirate won't be getting any booty
Lmao good one
Otoh, some women use this while referring to other women, e.g. "us females need to stick together!" - in a totally positive and inclusive manner (or what looks like that, from me on the outside - i.e. not using language in such manner myself, for either men or women).
So maybe instead of a red flag it's more like an orange one? VERY noteworthy, but not enough on its own to justify cutting off contact with someone, whereas for an actual red flag you would... right?
FIRE!!
These very same people would have no problem calling women 'people that birth'.
You people have some weird hangups.
I call women "femei"
Is it bad?
I'm not sure I like the idea of demonizing people just because of a word. Unless it's something as fucked as the n word, it might just be a matter of dialect. Many non-native English speakers I know use female as a replacement for woman. The intent is the more important thing. Sometimes the most well spoken man can also be sexist.
