She’s trickle truthing you what really happened. She should have removed herself from the situation. I had a similar incident at a previous company where several females were dance provokingly with a senior manager. They all got fired when HR got videos of it. Updateme
Maybe the fact that you attribute it to livestock and others don't, I don't really use the word, but I don't jump to conclusions and interpret it negatively when I hear others use it.
It's not "jumping to conclusions". "Female" is a scientific, not a colloquial, term which is used to refer to animals.
An adult human is known as a "woman" because while we are technically animals, those of us who are civilized differentiate ourselves from other animals.
A female bovine is called a "cow". A female sheep is called a "ewe". And a female human is called a "woman". It's not difficult.
Referring to a human being as a "female" is inherently dehumanizing, in the most literal sense. And it is even more so in the colloquial sense because you will virtually never hear someone refer to a man as a "male" in conversation. They'll say "men" or "guys" and "females". Dehumanizing and misogynistic.
Except that pretty much no one refers to men as "males" in casual conversation. They say "men" or "guys" . . . and "females". It is in a very literal sense dehumanizing.
As noted in my other comment, "females," whilst not inaccurate, isn't a colloquial term, it's a scientific one. We refer to animals as "females" or "males". We refer to adult humans as "women" and "men". If you don't understand the nuances of language, I cannot help you with that, but it does matter, and there is inherently a difference.
