Based on the comments the word has been taken over by incels and is now a sexist term. The mass majority thinks this is stupid and the mods even stupider of course but there's a handful of people who truly believe female is a menacing word now.

Bump

I honestly don't understand the internet anymore >_>

Lmao

The mods response

Unsure what is so difficult about using the word woman instead of female in normal everyday usage. Feel free to regularize incelspeak elsewhere but we will stick to normal forms of conversation.

If you want more of an idea of how awkward the usage of female is in everyday life, we suggest you talk to some people. Seriously go outside and talk to people. Maybe visit r/MenAndFemales to get a better sense of how odd it sounds in public.

On the topic of the OP getting banned they got banned because they were being a poor sport with a bad attitude when talked to about the awkwardness of the title. We hope that clears up some of the confusion behind our stricter stance on the lazy/misogynistic usage of the word.

Thanks.

Holy shit that's real. I thought it was just a joke poking fun at mods lol

Reddit mods on a power trip. Must be a day ending in y.

Hope the guy didn't strain himself patting himself on the back after writing all this. I'm sure he thinks it's the wittiest response ever.

You guys really dont have an issue saying: "I just saw a hot female walking down the street!"
Ignore the poorness of the example please.

Rare good post, chiming in to be ignored

Shouldn't be bannable, just sounds very socially stunted/out of touch to refer to girls/women as "females"

I would think of that as a compliment

the response is too heavy but it does look weird to say female there.

I haven't matured since high school, so I still say stuff like girls and chicks

While I think the mods reason was stupid, I think it's also stupid to use female in the sentence when lady, woman, or chick sound more fitting. Female is usually used when talking about something scientific or statistical.

Yeah I'm sure if he went outside and tried to gatekeep the term female to people they'd fucking laugh at him.

Remember when that Reddit protest failed because they threatened to take away mod status from people which caused all the mods to fold like a cheap suit to keep their power? lol

I think most people aren't aware that incels on the internet would use it to refer to women in a derogatory manner.

I use terms like FMC for female main character. I would also say something like "less then 5% of CE users are females".

*less than 5% of CE users are female
