Using “male” and “female” as nouns is offensive because it dehumanizes the subject and reduces them to their gender.
A “woman” is inherently human – specifically an adult female human. By calling that person only “a female” you remove their humanity and maturity, leaving only their sex. This is why it’s so common for creepy types, and why it’s so creepy, because it betrays that only one of those three descriptors is important to them.
It doesn’t dehumanize anyone though, male and female are the two most common sexes in humanity so it being either doesn’t disqualify you for humanity anymore than any other multi hyphenate.
Also no woman isn’t specist in is etymology, its sexist technically we only take it as human because only a human can consent to enter into marriage.
Wif = wife / man = mankind. Literally the wif of men, technically you aren’t even a woman if you aren’t married or at least capable of being married.
See another non answer and an insult. If you had an argument you’d make it and clearly you haven’t because you don’t. If someone asks a question maybe be nice or I dunno keep your hateful inside shit inside to save for a therapist.
No one owes you the pretense that you’re not a kook.
Several people have given you reasonable answers and your responses have ranged from irrational nonsense to TimeCube lunacy.
Having given a reasonable answer and gotten tinfoil craziness in response, no rational person is going to continue interacting with you like you’re rational.
I never said now implied anyone owed me anything, that’s all in your imagination but does sorta parse or the type of person you are.
Yes, we are having a conversation, ie. An exchange of ideas and ideals. If someone says ““x is because of y” doesn’t make sense to me because q is not y” for future reference the answer is almost never going to be “hah retard! Why are you so retarded!”.
They’re not tinfoil crazy questions or they’d be easy to answer, the fact you haven’t answered them and instead turned to personal insults based on your personal perceptions of me proves you can’t answer the question. You’re literally proving my point as to why perception of offense is different than intended offense.
I like that you call some nonsense about woman meaning wifeman an “exchange of ideas”. It’s utter nonsense, so in what sense is it an idea - that you thought of it? Or have you been reading “A history of English words for people with preconceived notions”?

Sorry. I didn’t realize I was talking to the man in the article.
That’s a non argument.
“You’re a bad person! How dare you ask a legitimate question in a respectful way!”
Rather than “x is because of y” or “I’m sorry I’m not sure I can answer that” but rather going out of your way to be cruel.
So fun question, how is the way you’re talking to me not dehumanizing.
Oh it is dehumanizing. You’re crazy.

Hilariously inept, love it.
