He said he was recently in a satisfying relationship that really only ended because it was long distance. Yet, he confided, it still all “affects me as far as, like, confidence and wanting to approach new people, especially females”.

I don't think your micropenis is entirely to blame here, chief edit: so are we not concerned by calling women females anymore?

I think this commenter is pointing out Mike's cringey use of "females" and is just imprecise with their communication. Or am I one of their alt accounts defending myself from this ratioing? You be the judge. (I'm not)

Look, I get the incel version on fEmaLeS isn't liked. But male/female is a perfectly valid way to refer to the 2 sexes. And if you aren't doing some incel putting down women shit in using the word, I think acting like using female is the same as referring to someone as the n word is just stupid. There was nothing in that statement that sounded disrespectful to women.
