Feeling Rebloggy
This is my personal experience, but I’ve noticed some men who call women females usually do it to dehumanize and disrespect women. Either they disapprove of her or want to manipulate her. These people have a grudge against women and are usually:
- bitter because they haven’t accomplished their goals
- angry because they feel powerless
- jealous because women have surpassed them
- entitled because they feel like they should “have” any woman.
Before someone makes a false equivalence, because y’all always do; let’s acknowledge that you will rarely hear women identify men as males.
Why?
Because women see men as human beings. Unfortunately, because of thousands of years of sexism and misogyny, sometimes that view isn’t reciprocated.

For me this is about a "tone" I can hear even when it's simply typed. Or maybe the words around "females" used as pronoun are always the same, misogyny laced. But I totally get this. Do you?
