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.

"people with vaginas" is one option ig. or if they also identify as women, cis women is another option

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 46 points 1 month ago

I think "vag havers" is the preferred nomenclature.

When did "people with vaginas" unironically become a way to refer to anyone, especially as an alternative to "female"?

[-] 3dogsinatrenchcoat@slrpnk.net 52 points 1 month ago

People with vaginas is the right terminology if discussing something that pertains to vaginas. Eg. "People with vaginas should make sure to see a gynecologist regularly." in this case, saying "women" would exclude/misgender many trans and intersex people who have vaginas but are not women, while also including some women who do not have vaginas and would not need to see a gynecologist

well sometimes u need to refer to ppl who have a vagina, because having a vagina is somehow relevant to the topic of conversation. which in my experience comes up very rarely, so i dont have to use it very often.

some people who have vaginas arent women, and so if the topic includes those ppl, then "people with vaginas" is the perfect phrase to use. and if talking about ppl with vaginas who all identify as women, cis women is more fitting.

"female" is a very vague way of referring to something. some ppl use it to describe gender identity, others use it to talk about ppl with vaginas, others again use it to refer to ppl with estrogen-dominant hormonal systems, etc. etc.

or for a potential fun comment thread: is dude gendered? I grew up in a place where a lot of people called everyone dude regardless of gender. That said, when I’ve brought this up, some people get real heated about it.

Yes but he's not looking for a woke word for "females", so "women" doesn't help.

Do women wanna be called "women" tho? I don't mean this rhetorically, but as a genuine question.

I for example, would hate to be called a "man". It just makes me sound old. I would prefer being referred to as "male", or anything that isn't the word "man". This is applicable to a lot of my friends too. Don't women feel the same way?

[-] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago

Personally, I'd prefer to be called my name. To each their own I guess

I don't see what's wrong with calling men 'men'. I don't mind it at all, seeing as it's a descriptor of what I am using the English language. What's your problem with the word?

Apparently not. The world would be a much better place if we all stopped making such a big deal about specific trigger words and focused on the ideas being communicated. If someone's intent was to be an asshole then sure, get the pitchforks out, but make it clear it's the idea that's bad. Don't just scapegoat the word. If they weren't obviously trying to be a dick then calibrate your response accordingly.

To put it another way, if you're upset about the use of a word that a scientist might use to describe something then you're probably being overly sensitive.

[-] riwo 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

science is often biased by cultural ideas. biology, medicine, and psychology, have been used to pathologise or naturalise things along social lines. this is also reflected in the language they created.

i think it is important for this language to be reevaluated, as culture and the scientific view on the world changes.

with the distinction between gender and sex becomming more popular, having compleletly destinct words might for example be positive...
