      Yes! I’ve been trying to figure out what the fuck the difference is for a long time but for some reason that explanation kept eluding me; I don’t mind being called “a female [blank]”, but just being called “a female” bothers me. But that’s it right there, it’s when it’s used as a noun.

      Good god, that’s what I came to say. Thank you.

      We got the lemmy police on here though. “You can’t say that word!”
