Is it poor grammar, laziness or derogatory when women are referred to as 'females'?
Example..."I'm looking for females", "Females don't like married men" or "Where's the females at?"
Female what? Budgerigars?
I'm a woman. Thanks. |

I don’t think it’s necessarily any of those derogatory things, it’s just how some people write stuff.
You’ve probably read enough profiles by now to know that people don’t always come across well when they write, this is maybe just another example of it.
Signed,

"Can you explain the difference between calling a woman a lass or girl? "
Lass or girl sounds young, whereas woman sounds grown up. As your young yourself girl or lass is acceptable, but from an older bloke it's more pervy xx |

I don't think there'd be many on here looking for female budgerigars, I feel it might be a niche fetish  |

"Can you explain the difference between calling a woman a lass or girl? "
Lass sounds northern and girl more generic. Both to me suggest someone in their teens |

Not always. Sometimes guys don't know what suffix to use due to conflicting preferences.
Example: Girls - Too infantile |

Is that why you use girl all the time  |

I guess saying female covers the majority of the opposite sex. I've seen people moan about being called anything really, whether it's girl, woman, lady, Lass, slut, whore etc. Some men probably think saying "female" covers all those labels. |

I am a female human. But I think it sounds old fashioned and makes me feel like men are referring to us as property. I am a woman. Just as a female dog is a bitch and a female cat is a queen. |

"I usually say girls dunno if it upsets folks but hey ho theres much worse things to call people
What would you think if everyone started referring to you as a 'boy'?"
