I have a question. I was dating/hooking up w this Chinese girl back in Sep '24 and she (of course as a foreigner) referred to both men and women as "Males and Females", under that context would using said adjectives be okay?
I still would just use female as an adjective and woman in most other cases. But if she’s using male and female, while I find it a little weird, it might just be normal for her so I don’t see an issue. Especially because she’s using both and not “men and females”.
I would say that’s completely fine especially considering the language barrier. I know in the military it’s common to use the term “males” and “females” which is fine/equal, and obviously in a medical setting it’s normal and fine. But people casually saying “females” and “men” in the same sentence gives off heavy “us” vs “them” mentality.
My question is why is it difficult for some guys to just say women? Particularly in the same sentence they’re use the word men, not “males”.
genuinely think they dont see women as people on the same level as them
I have noticed lots of people recently also calling one, singular, specific woman "women". Like "why does my women co-worker do [...)".
I don't get it.
Grammar weak hoga iska

obligatory downvote for hooking up with minors

Seriously, why would I take you seriously if you can’t even get your verbs to agree with your nouns?
Sounds like the best person to talk to when you want to talk to someone very bitter and misogynistic.
I saw this and nobody in the comments counted it out and I was like wow...
