“of the feminine species”
Uh, do you want to explain to this guy what a species is, or do I have to?
Well, he didn’t say persuasion, at least…

Ladies wasn’t used in the Original Post.
When playing a RPG of some sort, sometimes they give you the ability to reallocate all your talent points in a different way. Such as switching from melee focused to something magic oriented like a wizard or a witch. This is called a Respec, short for Re-specialization.
Respec sounds very similar to Respect. The Original Post is about respecting women.
I appreciate your interest in my comment, hope you have a nice day. Take care.
Thank you for your thorough explanation, I now understand the joke and will react accordingly:
“Heh, that’s pretty good.”
Agreed
So much cultural imperialism in here.
Once US-Americans decide how they want a word used, they will harrass and cyber-bully everyone into using it the same way / using the same word
Boys, you need to realize that english isn’t “your” language. You don’t get to decide how others speak it.
It’s everyone’s language, everyone can bully each other over it. The Brits added u to a bunch of words just to fuck with us…and then misspelled tire. Just last week heard an upper class indian with more British roots give a more Americanized indian man shit for spelling it tire rather than tyre, with zero knowledge of the history.
On the whole I think English speakers are relatively polite about misunderstood words in person, even relatively racist asshats. But when you can’t read the accent, you default to your own culture and in that culture it’s pronounced to rhyme with tamales.
My brother in christ, the british spelling is the original.
The reason you spell it differently was a conscious decision of your revolutionaries to differentiate themselves from the brits
You used the same spelling before your independence.
And how about “noone can bully” instead of “everyone can bully”?
Just throwing tht in the room here.
I won’t bully you for writing “recognise” just to assert your independence, you let us be us and everyone is happy, is tht a Deal?
No, it’s not, go learn history. Its a mix and match on both sides usually because spelling wasn’t standard anyway. Webster picked ones he liked, mostly to feel superior to Brits, Brits picked the opposite to feel superior to americans. We have the legacy accent, uk has the posh accent to sound different. We did simplify some words, Brits complexified others to be more posh.
The british spelling comes from the conquest of the duke of normandy and was already being standardized before your independence.
This is again such a us-centric way of thinking.
“We are so important the british chnged their entire language just to spite us”
I really don’t want to be rude when I say this, but I can’t find any better qords: please get out of your bubble. This US-centrism really annoys others.
And don’t tell people to “go learn history”. It’s just bloody rude, even if you would have been right.
Whatever happened to “femoid”? I know I read that one somewhere.
The future is femoid
I identify with this unironically as a low conscientiousness male feminist.
I’ve never noticed that a ferengi head kinda looks like he’s wearing a fedora already.
They wore them so long they fused into their heads.
As a man who likes fedoras, this stereotype offends me. Sadly, it’s an accurate description most of th etime.
Usually it’s a cheap Trilby anyway.
Usually the Redditors wear the fedora without knowing how to pair it correctly with the rest of their outfits, so don’t worry, if you wear a nice attire and a fedora people won’t get you confused with the guy wearing an ahegao t-shirt two sizes too small and cargo shorts.
You need to get big into two tone ska, then the fedora is socially acceptable again.
And I can hear it spoken with a lisp that you get when talking with a mouth full of prosthetics. Pfemales
Is this why they always ask how to define “woman”?
If someone asks you to a define a women, chances are they never met one in real life.
Trans women want to be referred to as just women, and biological women don’t want to be referred to as Cis women, so other than female, what is there?
I agree that I get the ick from female when referred to by certain men, but at this point, I don’t see another option.
The other option is “women”
Works for most conversations, I agree
The problem is female and women aren’t grammatically equivalent, so you can’t just drop one in place of the other anytime you want. It bugs me when people say woman president. Imagine electing a man president. The correct word in that case is male. You’d be electing a male president. I don’t care about anyone’s politics. I’m just getting tired of people in suits on tv using poor language and being asked to be taken seriously. And I’m not singling out democrats. Republicans adopted that language too. There are people on tv who wouldn’t pass kindergarten telling us what they think will affect GDP.
I find your assertion that anything resembling “thinking” may occur at any point with such people either very generous or quite naive 😋
/s?
I sure hope so
A reliable source on TV told me you can’t go wrong with
Ladies
That’s a huge word
salatsalad just to say “I’m an incel”salat
Found the Ger(wo)man.
Is female derogatory? I thought it was just a more scientific classification.
Edit: I work at a large engineering and manufacturing company where some of our products need to take into consideration the difference between male and female anatomy. I just hear “male” and “female” systems discussed on a weekly basis so I think I might sometimes refer to men and women as “male” and “female” outside of work without giving it a second thought.
I thought it was just a more scientific classification.
Scientifc classification by sex. Referring to others by their biological sex in a social context is weird and creepy. Even if you believe sex and gender are the same thing, it’s still weird to call people by their sex. “Hello, male human. Want to ingest some fried pieces of cow flesh tonight?”
If you are calling a woman “a female”, and aren’t a cop discussing a victim or a doctor writing a chart, then yes, it’s fucking derogatory.
We’re not Ferengi.
Yep. A lot of incels seemingly are unfamiliar with scientific classification and try to use it in casual statements.
Like, they sound real stupid trying to redirect it to be about science then saying phrases like “boobs and tits”.
Using scientific terminology in colloquial speech is weird and creepy in most contexts. Calling kids “juveniles” and women “females” carries certain connotations, most of them bad.
Using female as a noun (rather than as an adjective, such as in the phrase “female firefighter”, or any phrase of the format “female $noun”) is generally overly clinical and dehumanizing. Some people do it out of habit due to their profession-- usually researchers or soldiers-- but they usually say “males and females”, which while still weird isn’t the worst.
The guys who say “men and females” are the ones you need to watch out for.
Ohhhhh Watch out for what ?
Incel bullshit
Sex-obsessed creep
I mean, you are the one that freaks out when someone mentions the word incel, so I’m thinking that applies to you more than me.
It’s not inherently derogatory, but it does hold a connotation if you refer to women as females particularly in contexts where you wouldn’t/don’t refer to men as males.
Yes, using scientific terminology can be derogatory. But in this case, acting like the opposite sex is a species on its own, classifying them as animals and slurring all women as hoes gave it away for me.
I thought it was just a more scientific classification.
It’s a classification of sex like biological characteristics, like chromosomes, hormones, and reproductive organs. Are you asking about that?
Gender is a social construct. Just like race. Where you can be a Black person who is British. Or a Filipino American.
Edit: downvoters, you know you can literally open up a scientific book and verify for yourself, right? Downvotes don’t make a thing false.
It is not. Americans are insane.
Found the incel!
Found a USian.
the feminine species
Does this mean two females are able to produce sexually viable offspring?
Idk what they’re called, but IIRC that there are some all-female lizards that can reproduce either by parthenogenesis or lesbianism.
You’re thinking of mourning geckos!
In most contexts, you’d just say…”people”.
Or, if you’re actually trying to make a demographic-wide statement, like how women aren’t good at video games, you’d just say:
“IGNORE ME, I AN A SEXIST MORON.”
Basically, the meme isn’t much meant for the word choice, it’s how often incels have statements to make on half the population.
Sexism is a helluva drug.
No, they want to be called LA class nuclear powered attack submarine.
We’re in shit posting after all.
Happy Xmas, ya filthy animal!
Always liked the strong silent type
You talking about females or farts?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Is that a US specific term? Do British women get called Astute class nuclear attack subs?
Naw they’re called burds there.
And a happy new year!
You remember how everyone just used to say women 10-20 years ago? I guess that’s woke now. So much for conserving.
Woman is transphobic.
Lmao nice try rightoid.
Why yes, famously trans women hate the word women so much they use it on themselves /s
But cis-women do hate trans-woman, they invented the term “Transmaxxing”
Really? Most of my friends and family are super conservative and even though they disagree with the whole concept of transsexuality none of them hate trans women. Maybe you’re protecting your bigotry.
Nah I know what I have seen on a general basis
The multiple of “trans woman” is “trans women” just like with “cis women”, not “trans-woman”.
There’s also no dash in either “cis women” or “trans women”, it’s not half-cis half-woman like Spider-Man, it’s just a descriptor adjective, like “cis woman” and “trans woman”.
“Cis” and “Trans” of course come from the Latin prefixes meaning “this side of” or “other side of” such as in Cislunar Orbit or Translunar Injection (TLI) in astrodynamics, or the Cisalpine/Transalpine Gaul in historical geography or in Cis/Trans isomerism in Chemistry.
“Transmaxxing” is primarily used by incels that believe transition can be a way out of their inceldom, similar to gym-‘maxxing’ etc., while I’ve never heard of anyone actually transitioning for such silly reasons as it’s a helluva thing to do, I doubt that this would work out in their favour.
Additionally while many cis women do hate trans women, statistically speaking they are less likely to be against trans rights than men, especially on issues like trans women using the women’s bathroom or gyms or other issues that upset some cis people like healthcare access for trans children via either hormones or puberty blockers.

Let me know if you need further help.
No no no, It was coined by Cis White women to trash Trans-Women, PERIOD Stop scapegoating incels for everything & stop being a sex-obsessed creep (who wants to peek at other’s sex-life) as well, get some therapy
Well you brought up up the matter, not me, I don’t have any interest in sex lives of incels or anyone else really, I don’t think it’s wrong to discuss such subjects on the internet though, there’s really nothing to be ashamed of, I didn’t lose my virginity till 20. It’s really all okay.
