This sharehouse real estate listing is posted by a man. I'm visiting to check it out today.
Opinions?
Creepy misogynist?
Just an English as a 2nd/3rd language thing?
Or just copying the post prompt of "preferred gender: male / female / no preference"? (In 3rd slide)
Might bring my brother just in case.
This one actually doesn't bother me. The options for the question of preferred gender are very appropriate, and I can see reading the other instances of "female" as "female tenant," which is exactly the right way to use the word.
This reads like English isn't their first language to me
Yeah I'm guessing/hoping it's a combination of that and just copying the preferred gender prompt.
EDIT: nope, i met him and Strayan-English is his 1st language so it's deffo not the language thing.
Maybe just copying the gender preference prompt?
Maybe just saying it because, like so many otherwise feminist people, it has insidiously crept it's way into his vocabulary without him noticing?
Hopefully not a misogynist.
He doesn't live there anyway, he's just the owner, so I won't see much of him.
Everything else seems ok, it's a vegan household with a yoga room, a music room and gym in the big backyard shed. Yay 🥳

If it’s in Canada, majority of landlords are foreigners (this isn’t racist btw I hate how so many Canadians are attacking specifically Indian immigrants for the housing crisis as if it isn’t corporate greed) but any landlords that are not a large corporation are majority immigrants so it would make sense for English to not be their first language
It's in Australia, very multicultural. Sadly lots of racists here too.
Site note: British sounding vocab and currency in dollars immediately made me go “Australian?”
Dollarydoos moite 😄
Is it really menandfemales when the site specifies occupants as male and female by category, and no where in the listing does the person say men or man? Come on.
This doesn't fit
Not seeing the issue here. It sounds like a male landlord wanting a female tenant since there's already a female tenant living there. What's the issue?
This is normal for rental listings. Genders are identified as female or male. Nothing alarming here
It's common but it's still weird to say female and male instead of women and men.
It's also technically incorrect seeing as they are specifying gender (not sex)
Not every use of the word female is a red flag or creepy.
