I'm sorry sir, I didn't know you'd be so offended with a word that starts with a female identity. But let's look at the word female, shall we? The word itself has the word 'male' when it's not even used for men. But as usual, women were expected to be okay about it, because it's just a word right? And then the same with the word woman because come on, you can't possibly be offended by something so small.
"I swear man women are so extra af."
"They get upset with such small things."
But anyway, let not forget about the word human. A term that is completely gender neutral has the word 'man' in it (this is so ironic I can't stop laughing). A word that is supposed to represent all genders has the word 'man' in it. Now, I know this sounds like a petty argument but remember, who started it? Hmm? Exactly, so shut up and listen!
In fact, let's go back to our childhood when they'd talk about the stone age man in the history books. Why stone age man? Why not stone age people/person? Did other gender not exist back then?!?! (The people who learned about the stone age people/person instead of the stone age man; I have great respect for your books. Unfortunately, I had to learn about stone age man.)
Whoever came up with these words in the older times clearly believed in male dominance, and if your argument to this is "it's probably a coincidence and anyway this is all very old, we can't change it" then I'm sorry, sir, that's very uncreative, even for you.
So, my only request is that, provide me with a gender neutral word for 'human', feminine words for 'female' and 'woman' and then we'll come up with an gender neutral term for 'feminism', alright? (and who knows how many more words are out there that are actually supposed to be gender neutral yet are a little male dominated?)
But what's funny though is that how much these people got so offended with one word that started with a female identity when there are so many other words that start with male identities. Isn't that a little hypocritical? Imagine if any other words started with female identities, can't even imagine the chaos that would've erupted lol.
