    “male” and “female” are more appropriate as adjectives than nouns

      Good god, that’s what I came to say. Thank you.

      We got the lemmy police on here though. “You can’t say that word!”

      Yes! I’ve been trying to figure out what the fuck the difference is for a long time but for some reason that explanation kept eluding me; I don’t mind being called “a female [blank]”, but just being called “a female” bothers me. But that’s it right there, it’s when it’s used as a noun.
