When I hear someone refer to an adult woman or young girl as female. My
skin begins to crawl. I am overly disgusted by the word when used in that
context. It makes me think the person believe women are nothing more than
female dogs. The word female usually have some type of negative meaning attach to
it when used in regular conversation. Which to me, starts to have a negative connotation.
I’m fine with bubbling female on a college form. But do NOT call me a female.
That
is my sex that is my gender but that isn't me in entirety. I absolutely am repulsed at stereotypes (they may be funny in some ways) but overall are
detrimental to everyone involved. I simply despise female myths, gender norms
and stereotypes the most, because it is one of the biggest insults that make me
gag. The fact of the matter is: Do Not Call Me a Female. I am a woman, a lady
or Kelly.
You can call me any of those three without leading to assault. Well I've seen some misogynist use the word woman and lady against women but their argument
were always faulty and blew up in their faces. I digress, women as much as men
can be misogynist so I am talking to you, LADIES out there as well.
