UCS Hellmaker posted:From the sound of it the hospital workers can say something along these lines with no proof at all and get women arrested. Women arrested that may have just miscarried legitimately and be in emotional distress due to losing a child. So better way to put it don't say anything to your hospital workers, or do anything to piss off special snowflake ones. Or don't risk going to the hospital in the first place. Chancing a risky pregnancy termination at home is awful but probably better than being arrested and charged with capital murder.

So do we not call women females because some women aren't females? I use "women" personally but I never really thought about it.

It's because 'females' is a very scientific term and it comes off as weird, like you have no familiarity with them, when you refer to people like that. It's like casually referring to other people as 'humans' like "there were a bunch of humans down at the bar last night"

I don't know where you come from, but here on Earth all women are female. Saying "female" instead of "women" is just a weird vernacular thing that some black people, police, and evidently nerds do in a strange, planetary alignment of linguistic preferences. There's no reason to over think it.

Sounds cold and clinical and has fallen out of use more and more. Jane Austen used females a lot, but that was a while ago. It's especially weird when someone refers to males as guys or men but always uses the word female for women. Also male and female are biological sexes that are binary rather than more amorphous gender identities.

sudo rm -rf posted:Here is an interesting response to said study: Still a few pages back, but I'm glad for the article pointing to this inane passage in the work paper: quote:“We hypothesize that in attempting to comply with the CRA, banks take advantage of this regulatory feature by concentrating lending in CRA tracts to higher-income borrowers, who presumably are less risky. Consistent with this hypothesis, our results show that the effect of a CRA exam in CRA-eligible tracts indeed rises with borrower income” (ABBS 2012: 3). Compare and contrast with this. quote:The Federal Reserve Board has found no connection between CRA and the subprime mortgage problems. In fact, the Board's analysis (102 KB PDF) found that nearly 60 percent of higher-priced loans went to middle- or higher-income borrowers or neighborhoods, which are not the focus of CRA activity. Additionally, about 20 percent of the higher-priced loans that were extended in low- or moderate-income areas, or to low- or moderate-income borrowers, were loans originated by lenders not covered by the CRA. Our analysis found that only six percent of all higher-priced loans were made by CRA-covered lenders to borrowers and neighborhoods targeted by the CRA. Further, our review of loan performance found that rates of serious mortgage delinquency are high in all neighborhood groups, not just in lower-income areas. http://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/banking_12625.htm I love that "presumably" in the work paper, that's just idiotic. The loans that crashed the economy were primarily made to middle class and higher income people. And even they're not the ones responsible for the GFC. Its the insane securities products that leveraged them 1000 to 1 made by traders whipped by their bosses to make a cent above their competitors on every transaction that turned a housing depression into a worldwide economic calamity.

"Females" is also used in military parlance rather than "women". I do agree that in most contexts, "female" sounds awkward and has a slight undercurrent of sexism to it.

Calling women "females" is as much of a douche giveaway as putting "the" in front of an ethnic group.

The new exclusion in the definition of public domain would cover some of what is currently defined to be public domain information and make it regulated, with penalties for distribution. That seems bad regardless of whether the regulation actually covers a blog entry about stuff at SHOT Show or what have you.

I always thought "females" was a stilted way to discuss women casually, "ladies" has become a weird and creepy way to address women apparently, and "girls" is apparently too domineering. Women/woman is basically it I guess unless "guys" is now universial... in which case equality has come.
