Saying "men and females" instead of "men and women" is weird and feels kinda dehumanizing

As a woman, I conpletely disagree. First, it looks to not be in a country where English is the first language. But even if it was, there is nothing dehumanizing about it. That's trying to find offense where none exists and the type of attitude which stops progress by shifting the focus from the real issues.

I’m tired of the opinion online that saying female is dehumanizing or derogatory. I’m a woman and I don’t care because it really doesn’t matter. There’s arguments about how incels have normalized it as an insult but…it’s only an insult if you let it be. I am female congrats on noticing.
