I don't need to know anything about virii! My CUSTOM PROGRAM keeps me protected! It's not like they'll try to come in through the Internet or something!
"Artisan" or "artisanal" (though I do enjoy that it contains "anal", thus reflecting the "talking out of your arse" real-world meaning of the word).

Like this factory-made artisan loaf of really horrible white bread.

People who use "woman" as an adjective (woman artist, woman marine biologist, etc.). "Females" as a noun is creepy and dehumanizing, but "female" is a perfectly valid adjective and "woman" in that context is an annoying overcorrection.

Personally I think this whole idea that "female" is dehumanizing is kind of silly. I wouldn't use it in the relevant context because it doesn't sound good but I think people read too much in it. Certainly I think it's unfair to make a snap judgement about someone's character on that alone. Honestly before people on here started talking about it, I associated it with minorities for the most part as they were the ones I would hear use it like that.

As a woman, I don't. Most of my female friends agree, although there are plenty of people I know who don't really care either way.

Agreed.

I'm black and I still don't prefer it. A lot of the time I hear other people (of any race) use it, it's basically used in place of "bitch". I've never heard a sentence where "females" was used in a neutral or positive manner.

edit: to contribute further to the thread, "monetization" is one of those words where, even though it's useful, it seems long and unwieldy and like most of the people who use it frequently are annoying jerks.

That's a good point actually. When I heard it used it was usually in the context of some dumb rear end poo poo about what they thought women preferred/wanted and indeed 'bitches' would of probably been the other word of choice. I'd prefer to hear 'females' over 'bitches' any day of the week but as a man what I'd prefer is sort of irrelevant here, I suppose.
