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

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.
Not as bad as the ones that call women femoids.
is... Is that a thing?
It's an incel thing.
It really is just an anti-trans thing.
I call women "femei"
Is it bad?
Remember, pirates did fly red flags as well as black ones. The red ones meant you were extra fucked.
If you saw a pirate ship with a rainbow flag though , you're in for a mean margarita and a good time.
I think they’re still after your booty.
But my booty is a treasure only for me and the crew to enjoy.
I think black was like, "We just want your shit and we'll let you live if you surrender" while red was like, "We're gonna kill and then take your shit or take your shit and then kill you, either way you will not survive," kinda thing.
Sometimes the black one meant they just wanted your hats.
Benjamin Hornigold. No I'm not making that up.
Yes, fun idea. No problem with that but... that 'flag' is a sail. They're different things.
Using a sail to fly your colours is a red flag.
Sus. Having any issue with a red flag meme. /s
Immediate red flag in my book
I feel like I'm going to fall into one of the Myst ages looking at that book.
Someone should really tell everyone from the south. I had no idea until it was pointed out to me by someone younger. Changed my behavior of course, but was simply ignorant before.
A lot of people use certain words just out of habit, the last thing you need is some SJW jumping down your throat and calling you names cause they don't like your regional dialect. Lots of words I grew up with that were normal or not that bad, and now are considered super offensive. It's not a malicious thing, all you can do is calibrate and learn, but some people get so worked up if you don't use the words they're used to
Why did you refer to it as shoving something down your throat?
I don't get why the saying is "shoving it down your throat" or "jumping down your throat" when it's more like shoving it down your ear canal. You don't eat what people are saying 🤔
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?
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.
bitch, or even better, motherfucking bitch asshole
Karen?
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?
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.
he'd probably call women maidens
Except Nichelle Nichols
With an attitude like that, something tells me that pirate won't be getting any booty
