I hate the word ‘Consumer’ or I mockingly call it ‘CONSOOMER’. Because that’s to imply everyone in the world is just cattle, but with wallets. We’re no longer customers. We’re consumers now. And a consumer’s purpose is to consume shit, whatever is put out there. Got money? Shut up and consume, it’s what corporate interests and capitalism itself thrive on. Consume and consume.
‘Female’, when it’s used in a non-clinical or technical context to describe a human woman. Everyone has a slip here or there, right, so, broad stroke take incoming, but, generally speaking, I’ve never met or talked with anyone who reliably refers to women as ‘females’ who actually respects them. It’s a word you’d use to refer to a complete person only if you see them first and foremost as some kind of specimen, and it reaks to me of poor socialization, unhealthy relationship with that sex, or simply low class.
I always reflexively imagine a Ferengi from Star Trek going “feee-male”
100%, it’s always some basement dwelling dude that uses female.

Femoïd? Feed me!
Definitely, at least in the modern day. I was surprised to see Jane Austen do it a few times in Pride and Prejudice but I don’t think it had quite the same connotation back then 😆
i always associated this word with documentaries about animals 😁
