Hey, I worked for this moron and left because of these moronic statements.
Absolutely mind boggling that this company is “run on data” yet there’s no data besides anecdotes to support this backwards idea.
To make it even funnier, here’s an Amazon Director apologizing on LinkedIn because they thought forcing people to come into an office was the right thing to do.
Ew
Every single time some dude writes "females" I see this.
What I don't get, is that, female clearly applies to any living species right?
Women refers to female humans.
It's so easy to say "women" because you are talking about people. The word "female" has no such implication.
I truly think the repetitive and serious use of "females" instead of women is actually an attempt at degrading the status of women in society.
But not like "oh its already bad" but more intentional now. It worries me, because there are a lot of political persons using the language too.
Saying "females" is just one step above saying "bitches." That's how it hits my ear at any rate.
Eh, "bitches" is better now. If only because is can be used to describe friends. I can not see a group of people out on the town calling themselves party "females".
OMG perfect
