    Yes, it is. It’s just offensive to refer to a person as such when it’s not in a scientific or formal context.

      A non-scientific, informal context was given. Show us the offense there.

      Singles communities, personals, classifieds, marketplaces offer abundant instances.

      This is straight-up misguided language policing. Again, what good is served by treating female like a toxic, dirty word?
