I like R*ddit because I adore when people share opinions in an educational manner instead of trying to bully or degrade the opposing party for their views... like you all have been doing for hours.
Is the word “female” offensive to women?

She embodies it without understanding it.
My point still stands. It's about perspective. Why is the perspective of those that find it offensive more credible than those who don't? At no point has anyone used "female" as a derogatory term for you or any other female here.
Hundreds of people think the Earth is flat, does that automatically make them correct?
Anything can be offensive if you take offense to it. Like someone saying "gay is one of the worst things you can be". You're currently engaged in conversation with two gay people who have decided not to be offended by words.

Yes. And therefore I'm educated on the misogynistic history behind the word "female" and therefore my argument exists.
Hypocrisy much?
Again, I remind you that you attacked someone for their sexuality, while blindly defending someone you claimed groomed you when they were being accused of using homophobic language. People in glass houses really shouldn't throw stones.
Last week you couldn't spell EduKayShuN and now you are it.

"us" all told you, you didn't listen, you had egg on your face and got pissed. now your being schooled. I'm just here for the giggles which have been coming in bucketfuls
I’m going to have to spell it out aren’t I?
^^^ examples of misogyny in 2 posts and you haven’t called me out on any of them

it's not. everyone is entitled to feel the way they want without degrading someone else for feeling differently.
Well this unfortunately is not a relative example as one of these are proven factually true while the other is pure ignorance.
that was offensive on purpose babes. it's made to be offensive. It was said to be offensive. just like you saying "i will not be lectured by a female".

Why would I call you out? You were blatantly misogynystic. Id only feel the need to call you out when you're unaware of your misogyny. you were very aware. It was purposeful.
You don't have to call out my comment of "gay being the worst thing you can be" for being homophobic because my statement was blatantly that.
When you open a debate with argumentum ad hominem you're going to receive it back by the bucketload. To complain about it is simply hypocrisy.

a situation in which someone pretends to believe something that they do not really believe, or that is the opposite of what they do or say at another time:
There's one rule for her and another rule for everyone else and it's sheer hypocrisy.

Yes, they are. You shouldn't be degraded for your opinion. But you also need to recognise that what you're saying isn't based in an sort of fact. It is purely an opinion and everyone differs, as we've seen in this thread.
Ignorant based on what? So far, you've given me one very obscure definition with ****** as your main source. I am in no way invalidating your right to oppose anything, but this entire 24 hour debate has been going on because you, in your own ignorance, presumed female was being used in a derogatory sense. It wasn't.
Yes, I'm aware. My point is, don't cry foul when you're doing the same as anyone else. It's the height of hypocrisy.

Calling someone "Love" is now misogyny?
🤔
🤔
When done in a patronising manner, yes. Being English, it's hard for me to accept.
Some say it is. At best it’s patronising, especially when used in the context I used it in
