Poll POLL: Is it weird to use the word "Female"? (277 votes)
What up duders.
As some of you might have noticed, I'm currently in a discussion regarding the word "female". Some random duder used it when commenting on the video for the second part of the PAX panel. I quote:
First female I've seen to ask a question on one of these and IMO she had the best one, good job ma'am!
I obviously think that's PURDY WEIRD. It just feels so detatched. Like we're watching a documentary on Animal Planet. Imagine you're at the hospital, and your baby comes to the world, the nurse comes over and says:
It's a beautiful baby female!
In both those istances, the right word to use would be girl (or woman for the first one). Female is something that's normal to use when talking science and stuff.
