Human?
Maybe... The femoid also says she loves when I compile the Linux kernel
Oh, it's a fembot.
It really is just an anti-trans thing.
Naw, they were using that before all the anti trans nonsense. It's more about their inability to see women as human. They identify them more for their gender than being the same species as them. If they started calling them women that would humanize women too much...
Nah, it was a thing for weird dudes well before trans rights entered the public consciousness.
I call women "femei"
Is it bad?
female as an adjective for clarification (like "oh you're looking for that female doctor over there") is ok, female as a noun is just weird
There are contexts where it makes sense, mostly medicine or science, but even in those contexts it's deliberately dehumanizing, which is the point. It is also the only English word for a female human that does not imply age, as woman and girl both do.
The quick sniff test: "Males and females"? Clinical, but probably fine. "Men and females"? Fucking Ferengi freak, avoid that guy
Unless you're speaking about (non human) animals. Saying a dog is a female is fine.
I knew it! Once I suggested this to someone assuming they're, like me, not a native speaker, and got downvoted to hell. Turned out I was too woke.
true! connotation is a weird thing.

How do I formally refer to a girl I do not respect(because she's a menace) who is late 40's early 50's? So the different terms have implications I don't care for it want to convey.
I would get creative with it, just because she's horrible doesn't mean you don't get to have a good time. "The purveyor of lies", "fount of unreason", maybe give her a nickname that relates to one of her mistakes. If you can come up with something new every time it can become like a game, even if you're only saying them in your head.
Good time of what?
Have a good time coming up with insulting names
Ahh yeah. 🤣
I've been going with troll lately.
bitch, or even better, motherfucking bitch asshole
Karen?
From the point of view of that girl you're a red flag anyway. But "a menace" works too.
Red flag? I'm not trying to date my dangerous old hag of a downstairs neighbor. I'm actually filling a restraining order against her.

Not as bad as the ones that call women femoids.
is... Is that a thing?
It's very prevalent on 4chan and the like if you want to look at it and be depressed for a bit

It's an incel thing.
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.
Idk about other languages, but in Spanish "male/female" is reserved for animals*. So it'd be freaking weird to use it in English.
^*it can be used for people but not in 99% of contexts.^
Sure, but there are other languages in the world. In Bangla, for example, we formally use different words for different genders of animals. But people often add the equivalent of boy/girl in front of the animal name to signify its gender. For us, there are no hard rules for the usage of these adjectives/nouns.
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?
Drag wonders why that woman chose to say females instead of women. It's a very odd way to phrase it, and the only practical consequence of the change is to exclude trans women. Was that the intention?
I've seen you around Lemmy for a little while now. Why do you insist on referring to yourself in the 3rd person?
