I’ve had female friends and I’ve had male friends but for some reason I’ve noticed that females are more intimate and close to there friends then males are. Is this true for all male friends?

    I, for the life of me, can’t understand why everyone is so concerned about the word.

    When I say “male”, no one bats an eye. Should I say “female”, hell breaks loose.

    The word “female” exists along with “male”, just the same way “women” exists along with “men”. It’s just an adjective form. There’s no need to overcomplicate it, and no inherent intent to do whatever bad you assume when someone says it.

      There are people that use females in all contexts. They use it when women would work better. They mix it with *men". They do not use it in the same context that they would use male. And they use it in a derogatory way.
