Outside of a clinical/scientific setting? It’s comes off a bit creepy. If a guy in a social setting refers to women as “females,” it seems derogatory- as if they were talking about lesser animals.

In online forums like Lemmy or Reddit, if someone calls women “females,” I always picture that person as a Ferengi from Star Trek.

I wouldn't have a problem with someone using males/females in a vacuum, but all too often I read men/females from incels and misogynists on the Internet, so now "females" feels derogatory by default.

Male/female toilets sound creepy to you?

[-] Walk_blesseD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

It only really comes off as weird when they're used as nouns. As adjectives they're generally pretty unobjectionable.

As you can see bunch of idiots down voted me to oblivion. USians are fucking weird.

"Male/female toilets" is not the same thing as "males/females"

[-] enbyecho@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

The fact that it apparently doesn't sound creepy to you is creepy. You priapic huuumahn.
