minus-squareskisnow@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·26 days ago If you’re talking about animals it doesn’t matter. Not even that it doesn’t matter, it’s almost entirely the point. The reason why using ‘females’ as a noun to refer to women is dehumanizing is because it’s a noun we use for animals.
