“of the feminine species”
Uh, do you want to explain to this guy what a species is, or do I have to?
Well, he didn’t say persuasion, at least…
What
Ladies wasn’t used in the Original Post.
When playing a RPG of some sort, sometimes they give you the ability to reallocate all your talent points in a different way. Such as switching from melee focused to something magic oriented like a wizard or a witch. This is called a Respec, short for Re-specialization.
Respec sounds very similar to Respect. The Original Post is about respecting women.
I appreciate your interest in my comment, hope you have a nice day. Take care.
Thank you for your thorough explanation, I now understand the joke and will react accordingly:
“Heh, that’s pretty good.”
Agreed
the feminine species
Does this mean two females are able to produce sexually viable offspring?
Idk what they’re called, but IIRC that there are some all-female lizards that can reproduce either by parthenogenesis or lesbianism.
You’re thinking of mourning geckos!
I’ve never noticed that a ferengi head kinda looks like he’s wearing a fedora already.
They wore them so long they fused into their heads.
As a man who likes fedoras, this stereotype offends me. Sadly, it’s an accurate description most of th etime.
Usually the Redditors wear the fedora without knowing how to pair it correctly with the rest of their outfits, so don’t worry, if you wear a nice attire and a fedora people won’t get you confused with the guy wearing an ahegao t-shirt two sizes too small and cargo shorts.
Usually it’s a cheap Trilby anyway.
You need to get big into two tone ska, then the fedora is socially acceptable again.
And I can hear it spoken with a lisp that you get when talking with a mouth full of prosthetics. Pfemales
Out of Context Comics is leaking!
I identify with this unironically as a low conscientiousness male feminist.
A reliable source on TV told me you can’t go wrong with
Ladies
That’s a huge word
salatsalad just to say “I’m an incel”salat
Found the Ger(wo)man.
Is female derogatory? I thought it was just a more scientific classification.
Edit: I work at a large engineering and manufacturing company where some of our products need to take into consideration the difference between male and female anatomy. I just hear “male” and “female” systems discussed on a weekly basis so I think I might sometimes refer to men and women as “male” and “female” outside of work without giving it a second thought.
Using scientific terminology in colloquial speech is weird and creepy in most contexts. Calling kids “juveniles” and women “females” carries certain connotations, most of them bad.
Using female as a noun (rather than as an adjective, such as in the phrase “female firefighter”, or any phrase of the format “female $noun”) is generally overly clinical and dehumanizing. Some people do it out of habit due to their profession-- usually researchers or soldiers-- but they usually say “males and females”, which while still weird isn’t the worst.
The guys who say “men and females” are the ones you need to watch out for.
Ohhhhh Watch out for what ?
Incel bullshit
Sex-obsessed creep
I mean, you are the one that freaks out when someone mentions the word incel, so I’m thinking that applies to you more than me.
I thought it was just a more scientific classification.
Scientifc classification by sex. Referring to others by their biological sex in a social context is weird and creepy. Even if you believe sex and gender are the same thing, it’s still weird to call people by their sex. “Hello, male human. Want to ingest some fried pieces of cow flesh tonight?”
It’s not inherently derogatory, but it does hold a connotation if you refer to women as females particularly in contexts where you wouldn’t/don’t refer to men as males.
If you are calling a woman “a female”, and aren’t a cop discussing a victim or a doctor writing a chart, then yes, it’s fucking derogatory.
We’re not Ferengi.
Yep. A lot of incels seemingly are unfamiliar with scientific classification and try to use it in casual statements.
Like, they sound real stupid trying to redirect it to be about science then saying phrases like “boobs and tits”.
Yes, using scientific terminology can be derogatory. But in this case, acting like the opposite sex is a species on its own, classifying them as animals and slurring all women as hoes gave it away for me.
I thought it was just a more scientific classification.
It’s a classification of sex like biological characteristics, like chromosomes, hormones, and reproductive organs. Are you asking about that?
Gender is a social construct. Just like race. Where you can be a Black person who is British. Or a Filipino American.
Edit: downvoters, you know you can literally open up a scientific book and verify for yourself, right? Downvotes don’t make a thing false.
It is not. Americans are insane.
Found the incel!
Found a USian.
No, they want to be called LA class nuclear powered attack submarine.
We’re in shit posting after all.
Happy Xmas, ya filthy animal!
Always liked the strong silent type
You talking about females or farts?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
And a happy new year!
In most contexts, you’d just say…”people”.
Or, if you’re actually trying to make a demographic-wide statement, like how women aren’t good at video games, you’d just say:
“IGNORE ME, I AN A SEXIST MORON.”
Basically, the meme isn’t much meant for the word choice, it’s how often incels have statements to make on half the population.
Is this why they always ask how to define “woman”?
If someone asks you to a define a women, chances are they never met one in real life.
Im a hoe and I dont have a vagina so it clearly doesn’t even work 😋
Could you see to my garden plx
I hate that society attached hoe to women like equal rights men can be slutty
Don’t get me wrong I’m still a woman, just not one with a vagina :D
And tru men can be slutty too
You remember how everyone just used to say women 10-20 years ago? I guess that’s woke now. So much for conserving.
Woman is transphobic.
Lmao nice try rightoid.
Why yes, famously trans women hate the word women so much they use it on themselves /s
But cis-women do hate trans-woman, they invented the term “Transmaxxing”
The multiple of “trans woman” is “trans women” just like with “cis women”, not “trans-woman”.
There’s also no dash in either “cis women” or “trans women”, it’s not half-cis half-woman like Spider-Man, it’s just a descriptor adjective, like “cis woman” and “trans woman”.
“Cis” and “Trans” of course come from the Latin prefixes meaning “this side of” or “other side of” such as in Cislunar Orbit or Translunar Injection (TLI) in astrodynamics, or the Cisalpine/Transalpine Gaul in historical geography or in Cis/Trans isomerism in Chemistry.
“Transmaxxing” is primarily used by incels that believe transition can be a way out of their inceldom, similar to gym-‘maxxing’ etc., while I’ve never heard of anyone actually transitioning for such silly reasons as it’s a helluva thing to do, I doubt that this would work out in their favour.
Additionally while many cis women do hate trans women, statistically speaking they are less likely to be against trans rights than men, especially on issues like trans women using the women’s bathroom or gyms or other issues that upset some cis people like healthcare access for trans children via either hormones or puberty blockers.

Let me know if you need further help.
No no no, It was coined by Cis White women to trash Trans-Women, PERIOD Stop scapegoating incels for everything & stop being a sex-obsessed creep (who wants to peek at other’s sex-life) as well, get some therapy
Well you brought up up the matter, not me, I don’t have any interest in sex lives of incels or anyone else really, I don’t think it’s wrong to discuss such subjects on the internet though, there’s really nothing to be ashamed of, I didn’t lose my virginity till 20. It’s really all okay.
Really? Most of my friends and family are super conservative and even though they disagree with the whole concept of transsexuality none of them hate trans women. Maybe you’re protecting your bigotry.
Nah I know what I have seen on a general basis
Sexism is a helluva drug.
Whatever happened to “femoid”? I know I read that one somewhere.
The future is femoid
As a magical talking lion, I always go with, “Daughter of Eve.”
A talking lion and a flying squid? That’s some Lovecraftian horror combo
Flying Squid is just my mom de plume. I’m really a Jesus metaphor in big cat form.

What would Freud say about this one? It’s not overly sexual but I like it.
Freud would probably say, “autocorrect, huh?”
I’m not going to fix it now.
It’s Lilith actually
I know someone who ain’t gettin’ into Narnia. Not on Aslan’s watch, lady!
Furry Jesus was watching? Ew.
Common but baseless myth
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve done a Reddit Atheism™, but the same could be said for the garden of Eden.
Next you’ll be saying there’s no Narnia.
