[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think dislike of the word female is just personal preference. Because it is sometimes used derisively by certain types, it's only natural for some women to bristle a bit every time they hear it. B If op didn't mean for it to sound denigrating, then hopefully it came through in tone and context. Op, just learn from your experiences. Stop saying "female" when "woman" would be more appropriate. My parents used to say "colored people." They didn't understand why "colored" was a bad word but they stopped using it eventually. We roll with the changes. [/quote] It's used a lot in the military and isn't derogatory. Took me a while to get used to that when I worked for the Army as a civilian. Not that I found it offensive, just jarring because it wasn't how I was used to hearing about people rather than animals or plants.[/quote]
