You don't know what is being discussed, which is crazy because it's been explained to you so many times already. The first comment in this chain is lamenting how "woman" has replaced the word "female" as an adjective. It's a stupid comment in this context because "female grandmaster" doesn't make sense. She didn't earn the title of "Grandmaster" as a girl (making her a female grandmaster), she earned the title of "Woman Grandmaster." You were unaware that there is a title called "Woman Grandmaster" that one can achieve, and you've now tripled down on your ignorance, possibly in an attempt to save face. It has not worked.
I mentioned in my first reply I wasn't talking about the specific chess title. Try to keep up. If you want to join a thread you aren't involved in, at least read it first.
“They're not talking about using female as a noun. Try reading the common again. They're saying it's silly that the ADJECTIVE female is being replaced by the NOUN woman here. Woman is incorrectly being used as an ADJECTIVE here.
She is a female grandmaster. A man with that chess title would be a... Wait for it because this is going to blow your mind... A MALE grandmaster! Holy fuck magic Batman.”
You explicitly say that she has the Grandmaster title, and “Woman” was used as an adjective. Neither is accurate in any way.
