All women are females.

Not all females are women.

This bitch should be ignored.

She's actually correct. And, if I'm reading her correctly, she's pushing back against the feminist twisting of our language.

Wonder which pisses off feminists more?

The fact the word “female” contains the word “male”

The fact the word “woman” contains the word “man”

Definitely not what she means. She stole the entire post from a buzz feed "article" from 5 years ago.

Second, the use of female as an exact synonym is primarily an ill-thought-out attempt to placate the far left and causes the incorrect use of the word female.

You do realize it's probably in response to this from LSU, right?

Ten years ago I was considered to the left of middle, at least on social issues. I haven’t moved or been pushed an inch. What “left of middle” means shifted dramatically during that time and all of the sudden I am considered hardcore right wing by certain folks

Odd rant by Mistress Female Amie Just. Ironically, I sort of agree with her beef, although for different reasons. I think the awkward use of "female" as a noun is a product of political correctness. An unintended consequence of being forbidden to use long-accepted gender language, be it nouns, pronouns, or adjectives.

It comes across as being patronizing, which is the tone of choice for the left. Like "people of color," when most of them prefer black or Indian etc. Or, "Jewish people," because some idiots think "Jew" is a slur.

Subtle, subconscious bigotry come to bear.
