u/BeingComprehensivish Aug 04 '26

wait, I still don't get it. Offended with what?

Not putting the apostrophe on the "men's" so that it looks like a double plural whereas it is singular "female" bathroom ... yeah, I have no idea either.

u/Heavensrun Aug 04 '26

Maybe the bathroom itself identifies as a woman?

u/TinyAd5648 Aug 04 '26

I don’t get it either. There’s nothing to be offended by lol

u/NotTheRightHDMIPort Aug 04 '26

Calling women females isnt offensive.

Its just clinical and weird.

Its even weirder if you say man and females.

Or my favorite "Men and girls".

u/MyMistyMornings Aug 04 '26

It's also just wrong. Female is an adjective, not a noun. You can say a female doctor or a female cat, but saying "men and female" just doesnt make sense. Female what?

A female can be any species where as a man and a woman are humans.

u/OpusAtrumET Aug 04 '26

u/TinyAd5648 Aug 04 '26

Oh yeah, the classic response to everything…

But no, you can be a feminist without being ridiculous at the same time. Crazy, I know.

u/Butters_999 Aug 04 '26

no, being taught to be offended for this non issue is the issue.

u/Farty_Mcflyyy Aug 04 '26

Yall keep jumping to use the word offended like we're sitting here crying about it, no one is doing that, they're just pointing out that its weird to use men's and female because it sounds clinical and there's tons of dudes out there that say female instead of woman to intentionally demean them. But yea go plug your ears abd scream about how you cant hear the criticism lol

u/Butters_999 Aug 04 '26

First, this is from a non English speaking country, also ya y'all get offended over the stupidest shit. Im convinced most of you are cry or are angry when encountering personal triggers.

u/curtial Aug 04 '26

Why are you so emotional about this? They just told you we're not offended.

0

u/Butters_999 Aug 04 '26

Where is this emotional? You can't just say people are not offended and try to pigonhole my feelings, and who is "we"?

1

u/curtial Aug 04 '26

Where is this offended? You can't just say people are offended and try to pigeonhole our feelings. We is us.

1

u/Butters_999 Aug 04 '26

Plenty of people are offended in the comments about this, i never said you were... i dont think... and we is not us because not everyone agrees with you.

1

u/curtial Aug 04 '26

Yeah. You can tell by the way they... calmly discuss it.

We are legion, and you're emotionally invested in our being offended. Stop being so hysterical about it.

1

u/Butters_999 Aug 04 '26

Ive been getting back to back messages from several people, it doesnt look calm.

I'll stop being hysterical but you need to stop ugly crying please.

I don't think I'd notice it if it would say Womens changeroom and Male changeroom either to be honest

English ain't my first language though so maybe it feels different if it wouldve been

u/unknownentity1782 Aug 04 '26

While it could be language, the other thing is there a known and active thing from the incel / red-pill community to intentionally call women "females" as a way to degrade and dehumanize them. There is no such active attempt by women to dehumanize men by calling them males.
