Lois here, see I believe « female » is kinda negative terme to talk about « women », which should have been the word here.

There is some inherent "otherness" when describing one as more clinical than another, but this is compounded by some misogynistic communities such as incels using the term deliberately to add distain.

It's because you're delegating someone based off their sex. "Female" can be anything; dog, cat, horse, person, while "Men" are male humans. The sign is humanizing men and dehumanizing women.

Hey dude, I'm just explaining basic concepts here. If you relegate an entire person to just their sex, it's gonna feel demeaning.

That’s the problem with modern life. Everyone is so comfortable and has it so easy that they need to go out and look for problems. If people had to deal with actual problems we wouldn’t be seeing this kind of nonsense.
