Or an engineer, we all grow beards to show wisdom.
I know a female engineer who has a fake beard on the wall in her office. She has been known to wear it to meetings, for extra respect...
We really need a c/menandfemale here on lemmy
Female as an adjective ✅
Female as a noun ❌
What if I'm talking about very attractive adapters and cables?
Dayum look at dat female! So easy to plug into, and grips hard!
My favorite cable is an aux extension I use every day.
Got me there
Na, engineers are male/female. Not men and female.
I have never heard anyone called a man engineer or a woman engineer....it is always male/female engineer....on the rare occasion that any designation is required.
When you are looking for things to be offended about, you will find them...it is not good for your mental health.
Yup, because that's how adjectives work
The real complaint is people who refer to women as "females" which makes them sound like ferengi. Saying a "female engineer" is just correct grammar. Some folks have instead, lacking a capacity for nuance (and language) taken this to mean that there is an issue with the word "female" in general.
Just thought it was funny x)
Sorry if it offended you
Well played
