So apparently Reddit is having a struggle session over the word “female” by smiley in c/chapotraphouse@hexbear.net

There was a time when the word “female” didn’t have the negative connotation that it does now mostly thanks to co-opting by incels.

I feel obligated to point out that Ferengi in 90s Star Trek called women "female" and it was supposed to make you understand that they were misogynistic. So it's not really something that started with incels over the last few years.

I can't remember if I'm allowed to link to the source or not with federated posts.

There's no history of it and none of it was saved, but I really checked it out and the sources were legit, trust me.

This is pretty low effort so I wouldn't be surprised if this got denied, but I couldn't get this out of my head after we got called "hexchan" unironically.

why is everything there a decaying flashback to the 1950s where everything is falling apart?

It might be that the capitalist world power next door has had an embargo on them since the 1950s. And look at all they've accomplished despite that. Now imagine what they'd have accomplished had they been allowed to thrive.
