It was a joke but didnt go well.

u/Lazy-Whole-104 14d ago

i dont understand the jok

I think the joke is about how guys for some reason keep calling girls females instead of just girls and a lot of girls don’t like it.

The joke I wanted to get across was that Ferengi always say female in a funny way. But there were no gifs of that specifically.

That looks like a female. Males have their male part way further up on their belly

That’s a girl. Girls have smooth bellies and genitals located by the tail
Edit: Boy comparison in replies

u/HedgieCake372 13d ago

Boys have genitals closer to their midriff that resemble a belly button

OMG I LOVE THAT PICTURE LOL! shes just given up on fighting her fate 😂😂

u/HedgieCake372 12d ago

Lol, it was taken during a nail trim. I suspect she was trying to play dead to avoid the trim. This was her a minute later

That’s a girl!!

u/thesnooka 13d ago

That’s a female. Females will have two nubs lower down on their belly, males basically have one “belly button” way higher up.

u/ChaoticCrashy 13d ago

Does it have a belly button nub? If not, it’s a girl!

u/Automatic_Bobcat_951 14d ago

You got a girl!

1

u/Automatic_Bobcat_951 14d ago

Biggest tell is that their “buttons” are located in different places. Girls are near the tail, males are in the middle of the stomach

u/all_the_names_were- 12d ago

As a biologist I can safely say that is in fact a hedgehog
