I understand what you mean, but I think that's also deliberate. In the second picture, you see a comment talking about how the Patriarchy sees women as women first and human second, and I think the OOP tried to emphasize the idea that they are human first and woman second. (And the usage of female is meant to be clinical because even a woman isn't seen well, and only for the parts of their body, not for themselves truly)
It's a bit wonky, but that's my idea of why they made the title that
As a female cat, I am very offended by your post. I too have menstrual cycles and they are not fun. I also had a litter of 6 kittens. Yes, 6 kittens. I also have 6 nipples and not one gets a break. You can at least rotate. Oh and the damn tomcat that knocked me up. Nowhere to be found. At least you have child support. Humans have it way easier.
Because "female" in this context is not being used as directly derogatory or as a "slip up" forgetting women are people.
It's being purposefully used by a woman to portray how the OOP feels like they're seen as less than human by our patriarchal society.
It would be the same if this was titled "How it feels to be a piece of meat." She doesn't feel that way about herself/other women, she feels that's how the world treats her.
Yes she's clearly chosen those two words fir those reasons but does it not seem weird to you that they've said it as "human female" instead of "female human"?
When referring to a specific sex of a species it would always be sex then species.
One example of that would be saying that a female kookaburra is a "female kookaburra" not a "kookaburra female".
Right? The patriarchy designs the “womb”and chooses which members to contain it. The flower does not choose to differ from other leaves and yet those bees can’t leave me the fuck alone.
Not exactly. The patriarchy glorifies it because it's a way to keep the unequal power structure going if women give birth and raise their children in the way that the ones in power prefer.
There’s also the fact that without childbirth, no children will be born and people die out. It’s better to make something painful but necessary seem good, then tell the truth that will make less people do it.
The patriarchy doesn't care about the future of humanity. It's a system that is kept alive by a bunch of selfish, hedonistic, power-hungry and money hungry people and their deluded followers. I thought that was clear by now.
Without humanity, who do they have to exploit. Their number one goal is toasty in power, and to do that they need people to exploit, thus they need humanity.
Again, people will procreate anyway. We don't need patriarchs to push a toxic birthing narrative for that. They don't care about humanity, otherwise they'd care for the environment and social justice instead of hoarding wealth and exploitation.
If that’s the case, why do they push for childbirth and not for the preservation of our environment? Why do they care about childbirth but hate the idea of climate change despite it rapidly destroying our planet, which we need in order to survive?
I think that was deliberate. To bring across the point that despite being "human" you don't get to feel "human"
Yeah, it's still a bit backwardsly odd to say it as human female instead of female human.
Putting them in the wrong order makes it like "which species of female am I?" Lol

Cats don’t have periods-they go into heat. Every two weeks for a week til they get knocked up.
By multiple males who all show up at the same time with barbs on their penises. Also, their penises have a literal bone in there.
A woman is saying it I feel like it’s more valid
I don't think this fits here
Seems like
everyonemany agree with you (and the 2nd comment below saying a similar thing) so now I'm very curious as to what I might be missing here.Can you explain why you think it doesn't fit this sub?

Yeah and with the way it reads, it doesn't seem like OOP is a native English speaker.
Yes she's clearly chosen those two words fir those reasons but does it not seem weird to you that they've said it as "human female" instead of "female human"?

Saying it backwards is very strange.
It does, but I don't think that changes the intended meaning.
If it said "female human" it wouldn't fit here, but they reversed it, which does make it fit this sub.
That isn't what the sub is about.
How do you figure that?
Edit: I seem to be missing something that so many other people here can see.
I have had LongCOVID "brain fog" since 2022 so I'm always trying to assess whether I'm experiencing more signs of dodgy cognitive function.

Ghe patriarchy glorifies childbirth because it is a necessity for the continuation of humanity.

"Their number one goal is toasty in power"
Lol 😄 the typo makes me think of Powdered Toast Man from Red & Stimpy
I can’t even remember what i was trying to say anymore.
I'm guess you were trying to say "to stay in power" but "toasty in power" is funny and it's still easy understand what words it was supposed to be. 💪🍞
