      Because the study is clearly talking about goats. You only use the word “women” when you’re talking about humans.

      In the context of this discussion, the chart title is “young male virginity on the rise”, so it doesn’t seem too far off the mark.

        Yeah male virginity. Male is an adjective in this case.

        Male or especially Female as a noun, has a very weird ring to it. Sounds kinda disrespectful, as said above, like your talk about cattle…

          Eh, monkey see word male, monkey think female appropriate word to use when discussing things.

          Monkey brain is not the smart brain, but I understand where it’s coming from.

          like your talk about cattle

          Real dark days when a 30 year old bull hasn’t hooked up with a cow in over 12 years.
