    Just don’t use male or female as nouns to refer to humans. That simple. If you’re talking about animals it doesn’t matter.

      If you’re talking about animals it doesn’t matter.

      Not even that it doesn’t matter, it’s almost entirely the point. The reason why using ‘females’ as a noun to refer to women is dehumanizing is because it’s a noun we use for animals.
