      That’s because it’s an adjective. It’s like saying “I was talking to a black.” It’s icky and devalues people.

      Ever notice how the same people the say “female” don’t also say “male”?

      (Yes, I know female can be a noun, but in those cases, it’s typically in relation to live stock or in science.)

        >talking to a female human

        >I like her

        >show her my favorite song

        >she doesn’t like it

        On to the next one, bros.

        No, but I also think comparing women to monkeys throwing shit shows how fucked up you are.

        You respect women; you tolerate monkeys throwing shit.

        In this situation, your metaphor is the “monkey shit.”

          If you think I compared a woman to a monkey throwing shit, you seem to have misunderstood something

            “Do you also go to the zoo and complain that the monkeys are throwing shit? :P”

            It’s in the comment chain, incel. Your words, not mine.

            Are you also going to come to a community that doesn’t dehumanize women and get upset when they don’t like you?
