(+) Yeah! (+)

What's wrong with calling cats female?

I personally think its weird that ppl get offended at it. Things I have heard. "It makes us sound like a different species" no one is going to hear the word female and think of centipedes or seahorses. "Its usually accompanied by other misogynistic feelings" okay so you are upset at misogyny, not a word. Its not the n word we're talking about.

your understanding is lacking, as i and others have pointed out

Humans are animals

Says you. As there's definitely people who use it negatively. You either don't recognize it, don't care to recognize it, or don't even hear it.

The burden of proof is always on the original claim.

And you're wrong.

And you're wrong.

And in the context of humans as animals (i.e. a clinical or academic setting) it can be appropriate. In common communication "animals" refers to nonhuman species.

So show them to me.

Not when the claim is negative. When one person claims something exists or occurs and another claims it doesn't, the burden of proof falls on whoever is making the positive claim, regardless of who spoke first. Because it's impossible to prove a negative.

pouting is cute ngl

You're nitpicking and biased. I win. Bye bye.

Pure projection. You aren't even talking about the topic anymore, just flinging insults.

I'm biased by my understanding of how words work.

are you also one of those dudes that takes issue with rap and slang? lol
b/c thats the stance youre taking tbh

"i literally have no argument so i'm going to emotively assert that being told i'm wrong hurts my feelings T-T"

Show me this statistic as you claimed it's a wide spread problem of people using it on an wide epidemic scale.

I use both. Don't really have a particular set of rules.

Again, this is pure projection. I have an argument. I presented it. You ignored it and proceeded to substitute insults for anything of substance. Get out of your feelings and get back on topic, if you're even able to.

No I didn't.

As others have said, it is clinical, and awkward, but its not like it is a slur or outdated slang. Ladies, save your outrage for the guys that call you dame, as if anyone that doesnt remember rationing coffee during the war would use such an outdated word.

I call them broads or walking tits.

you followed up with high school level syntax that was immediately shown to be incorrect

and have proceeded to do nothing but "nuh uh ur wrong :(" since lol

You claimed the word "female" is used statistically on this massive grand scale difference to "male."

LOL, broads, forgot about that one.

I think it's very suspicious when people claim to not hear how off putting and weird it sounds to refer to women as "females." It sounds like you're about to dissect them in a laboratory or watching them in a zoo.

Because the latter isn't used in the same way. At all. And when you said it was I asked you to show me, but you haven't provided so much as a single example. Meanwhile, multiple users itt alone outright admit to doing the former. Can you show me some examples of "I'm going to the bar to find me a male," "look at these fine males on Tinder," or anything similar?

I am a man. (Noun)

I am male. (Adjective)

Because the latter isn't used in the same way.

Which is not a true statement.

Then it should be easy to provide some examples similar to the ones I requested.

You claimed the word "female" is used statistically on this massive grand scale difference to "male."

Provide these statistics. I'm sure all you have is anecdotal social media posts and bubbles.

They're the largest representation of mass shooters (in the u.s.) and have been labeled as a terrorist group for a reason.

I just want to know why when you guys are wrong, why you can't all just shut the fuck up and never speak on the topic ever again. The Internet has falsely made people think their opinions matter and I'm tired of it.

And you're wrong.

And in the context of humans as animals (i.e. a clinical or academic setting) it can be appropriate. In common communication "animals" refers to nonhuman species.

It doesn't matter what they call themselves. It's something like over 80% visit the same kind of forums and are part of said groups.

I'm addressing Mike's claim that it's a widespread use of the word to be negative that's far more than "male."

Nope. That's just you copping out.
