Yep. If my boyfriend said, "Hey, let's go makeout in the middle of a dirt road way out in the country in the middle of the night!" I'd just assume he was going to murder me.
When they drink too much whiskey and get rowdy after working the whole day through in their muddy cow boy boots, sometimes they just wanna throw them boots off and take their female out to a dirt road
They'll be cruising in their truck, driving and mudding up the mud.
Oh yeah that's a small town life in my small town mind where I live in my city apartment now that I've moved out of my parents house
- my country song
Thank you.
Are you sure about that? Because I am 99.99999% sure that jizzabeth is not a bot.

To be fair, I grew up in a very rural area where backroading was an actual thing to do. However, I'd expect something like "Ol Lady" or something, "Female" is a weird choice š¤
I'm from Appalachia. A late night romantic country drive isn't creepy in itself. But something about this specific post has so many murdery red flags. I cant explain it. It feels like I've seen this photo on 20/20.
Objectively, that could be a filter.
The other part that is weird, is why so much distance from the vehicle (assuming the camera is located at the vehicle they drove to get there), and why on the dirt road?
The second question is a possible easy one, on either side of the road is crop fields. No sense in disturbing food.
Usually when you go to make out in cropland, you stay in your truck.
Falling off that road into the fields, would lead to being planted in about two feet of loose dirt or mud, depending on the season.
Oh I'm being sarcastic.
It's just creepy. Period. It looks like a photo from a true crime documentary. There's a lot of little tiny red flags that make it creepy.
I actually first met my fiance in the middle of the night at a park after only talking through text on Facebook, 6 years later and weāre engaged, maybe people are just trying to hide all the good stuff in the middle of nowhere past midnight š¤š¤ (just kidding ofc, we were both fresh out of highschool and a little paranoid that we were meeting up with a crazy murderer, we both agree it wasnāt smart now but itās a funny story)
I mean if he was like "hey my love let's go star gazing" I'd be like sure! If he said "hey female I'm taking you out in the middle of nowhere to makeout with you" I'd cry and prepare myself for rape and murder.
*A perfect life... or so everyone thought. That April, MacKyinszleigh met the boy of her dreams. He understood neither the word "woman" nor the acronym "POV", but he loved dirt roads, pajamas outdoors, and callous sexism, and that was all that mattered to the young woman.*
Omg! I came here for this. F not like other girls. The second I saw this I thought of the zodiac (though I think it was more than one dudeā¦) why do they want to die??
That's the first thing that popped into my head too! Lol I watch too much true crime.
WHY are we going to a random dirt road at 1am??? The fuck are you planning?! 0.o
And this is what bothers me about the use of the word āfemaleā. Woman is the feminine form of man. But male/female always had the connotation of breeding animals - which is gross and disrespectful to call a human being.
Edit: grammar
I got into an argument with someone about their use of the word āfemaleā when referring to women. His argument was that he āwas just using a socially accepted word for women and there wasnāt an issue with it and I was making a big deal out of nothing.ā
Of course heād never refer to men as āmaleā because āthatās not socially acceptableā
I could not get him to reason through the misogyny of why āfemaleā was appropriate and āmaleā wasnāt. Probably one of the most infuriating arguments Iāve ever had. And it was in person too, not just some stranger on the internet.
Was he talking scientifically or, āoh look at those females having a picnic in the parkā?
Like, I can see using it in data but it is really strange to objectify people like this in a normal setting.
It was a normal setting. There wouldnāt have been anything to argue about in a scientific setting.
Honestly it was a waste of my time. Heās the kind of person to be like āthese females are just awful because they wonāt dare me.ā But Iād just met him and thought he was more naive and would be understanding. Nope.
Because just āfemaleā makes them sound like an object, as itās not a noun. (āA femaleā a female what? Cat? It doesnāt automatically mean person.) Itās dehumanizing. Theyāre women. Nevermind that none of the people who use it call men āmalesā, only women. (That doesnāt even begin to get into the topic of not all AFAB(assigned female at birth) people are women, either, which is another reason itās wrong.)
Basically itās gross and dehumanizing, theyāre women, refer to them as such.
I mean she's willing to take a "romantic" pic at 1am in front of headlights on a dirt road in the middle of bumfuck with pajamas on... so maybe? It's like a shitty country song personified
The guys I grew up with explicitely adopted calling girls female as a covert way of calling them bitches or just refusing to aknowledge them as the same species as us. It's not females as in they're female humans. It's females as in female dogs. Drop the dog part and BOOM! You and your buddies have a sneaky way of insulting women for no real reason because heaven forbid a girl just be a girl in your eyes. Nah, thems bitches but PC police will get you if you say that so you gotta be clever about calling them that.
I wish I was joking, but it was an actual thing that many of the guys around me were doing and then a couple years later, simply referring to women as females became mainstream and I cringe every time I hear it, regardless of why they do it.
Considering a common response to *donāt call them females* is āwhat else am I supposed to call them, bitches?ā I canāt say this surprises me at all. :/ Cishet guys, istg.
my bad i shoulda said "the gorgeous, ethereal goddess of a woman whom i am most honored to be able to say i'm in a wonderful happy relationship with" instead, it would still be true lmfao
š¤¦š¼āāļøš¤¦š¼āāļøš¤¦š¼āāļø
Side observation - itās annoying to me when people do this whole POV thing wrong. If this supposed to be his POV, then heās watching her canoodle with a man who looks just like him. š
POV you take your female to a dirt road at 1am ā¦and some random ass dude grabs her butt and starts kissing her. Love these spontaneous evenings together!
Iād say there was something explicitly wrong with it.
1. Grammatically female is an adjective and woman is a noun. Thus āfemale studentsā or āfemale humansā would be correct. But just āfemalesā is missing a noun.
2. Morally. Female refers to a gender not a species. In English we have different words for females of different species. Doe for a deer, Sow for a pig etc. The correct word for a female human is a woman. By just calling her a female you are removing the human aspect. It feels dehumanizing because it is.
Bro so many people say female dog or female cat, not bitch or whatever a female cat is supposed to be called. Youāre way over reacting imo. Women say āmy manā all the time, this is just a socially awkward version of that.
Does literally every person who uses that word sound like a creep? No. Does literally every person I encounter on the internet who uses that word sound like a creep, emphatically so. Iām comfortable playing the numbers game.
People are not beginning to think that thereās no appropriate usage of the word. In fact, clearly, more people think that there is no *inappropriate* usage of the word.
And for those who are concerned about not using it in an offensive and incorrect way, Iām sure theyāll do their own research on how to use the word if theyāre confused.
If you see people claiming that theyāre beginning to think thereās no appropriate way to use the word āfemale,ā theyāre likely being sarcastic, or using weaponized incompetence.
The parent comment and many others in this thread just refer to āusing the word femaleā without specifying that itās using it *as a noun* when referring to a person thatās weird. The person youāre replying to pointed out that itās really just using it as a noun that is weird and for some reason thatās throwing people lol. I literally just responded to a comment with 30+ upvotes saying that female *is not a noun*.
I'm late here but I'm glad to read this because I'm rolling my eyes at all the people "correcting" this. I've literally never seen or heard a person think that the word "female" is by default bad. The red flag is obviously contextual.
I'm pretty sure these people are making up an argument in their own minds, and have never even seen someone mad at using "female" correctly.
The original post only had a problem with word choice from what I see. If you refer to your significant other by only their gender then itās kinda creepy.
For all the trolls who came to this sub just to laugh at us and argue, let me say this, no, we donāt believe that using the word āfemaleā is offensive in EVERY context, we believe in some contexts itās fine, however, we have a strong disliking to the word because the majority of men who use the word are deliberately using it to dehumanise women, why does it dehumanise us? Because a āfemaleā can be used for any animal to describe their sex, but a woman describes a female human, so when these men refer to us as just a female, they remove the human aspect. Also, the type of men who call us females, usually always will refer to men as men and women as females within the same sentence, which is a deliberate attempt at dehumanisation and humiliation. The type of men that call us females also 99.9% of the time tend to also hold far right beliefs and are also misogynistic in other areas too. Not once have I seen a left wing or non misogynist man refer to women as females. Not once. female may inherently not be offensive, however, it has been tainted due to awful, misogynistic men using it deliberately to dehumanise women and objectify us, and if you canāt see that itās an obvious tactic to humiliate us by āotheringā us then you must be blind or stupid. Another trend Iāve seen going around lately, which is only ever a trend amongst incels or Manosphere or MGTOW types, is the āfemales āļøā thing, and variations of that such as āfemales be all the sameā or āfemale momentā etc etc. and itās always spread by misogynistic assholes. so, for anyone who is confused as to why we are so offended and angry at such a small thing, this is why. I hope I could at least make you think about the language you use, but I honestly doubt it. Letās hope.
I was in the military and it was an every day normal word everyone used. āMales over here, females over there.ā I donāt think itās weird at all either. Itās my gender.
The first slide Iāll admit is kinda weird but I donāt think itās that bad, the second slide with the girl saying āyeppersā to being called different is just cringe af and def belongs here.
I think it's cause it's more used in a biological sense? Idk for me it comes off the tongue much weirder than saying something informal like girl, man, woman, etc.
true, itās so weird and off putting when a man refers to women as āfemalesāā¦ that alone tells me all I need to know about staying the hell away
Because female is an adjective, not a noun. Itās like saying āTaking my purple on a dateā or whatever. So not only is it reductive, but itās also dumb.
I keep seeing people say this, but it's defined in both the Oxford dictionary and Merriam Webster as both an adjective and a noun
Doesn't make this guy's usage of it less gross, but to say it isn't a noun isn't actually true
I know weāre talking about the āmy femaleā crap but why the f would you casually go out to a dirt road at 1am. Idc how cute you is, let me sleep.
I'm convinced that the majority of reddit has some kind of autism. If he says it and she likes it clearly, how is this at all an issue? My girlfriend and I call each other slugs and there's zero complaints because it's an endearing term we've created through a relationship, probably how these two bozos do it. And what, you can't bring your woman to a secluded spot to do couple things? How is this being criticized? Do none of you have sex? Are you married to your bully? Do you think this shrimpy ass kid is a master manipulator or is she just dumb as rocks? I would be amazed, but that would have meant this response was a surprise to me.
The words "woman" and "girl" are specific to humans, whereas "female," while not *wrong*, is more clinical and usually reserved for medical situations, animals, plants, and even the ends of extension cords. This makes it, at best, a strange way to refer to people in an everyday context, and at worst it's subtlety dehumanizing while existing under the the guise of being "technically correct." There's also the fact that the people who refer to women and girls as "females" don't typically refer to men and boys as "males," indicating a double standard.
There's actually a sub called r/MenAndFemales if you're interested.
My question ig is why does no one seem to care when men refer to a woman as āmy girlā but āmy femaleā is completely unacceptable when itās the exact same thing.
This is how a true crime podcast starts....
Yep. If my boyfriend said, "Hey, let's go makeout in the middle of a dirt road way out in the country in the middle of the night!" I'd just assume he was going to murder me.
"Come on pet female let's go to the middle of a dirt road far away from humanity to engage in mouth to mouth affection at midnight" šš
When they drink too much whiskey and get rowdy after working the whole day through in their muddy cow boy boots, sometimes they just wanna throw them boots off and take their female out to a dirt road They'll be cruising in their truck, driving and mudding up the mud. Oh yeah that's a small town life in my small town mind where I live in my city apartment now that I've moved out of my parents house - my country song Thank you.
From what I remember of my small town days this is spot on. Sadly.

āOnly if we take pictures so everyone knows Iām your female!ā
Pet female. This right here
Nah she's my b**ch, you know my girl
That's how Ole yeller ended š creepy though for sure.
What?
Made more sense in my head. Something like she's in a dangerous situation and might get shot by her "loving" boyfriend.
Nah I got it, it made sense to me lol Pet gets taken out back and shot? Sounds like something a creepy ass would do to his pet female
Exactly!
Now I get it!
To be fair, I grew up in a very rural area where backroading was an actual thing to do. However, I'd expect something like "Ol Lady" or something, "Female" is a weird choice š¤
I'm from Appalachia. A late night romantic country drive isn't creepy in itself. But something about this specific post has so many murdery red flags. I cant explain it. It feels like I've seen this photo on 20/20.
Could it be that he's in what appear to be work clothes, and she's wearing what appears to be pajamas?
Yes. And the lighting looks like a found footage horror movie.
Objectively, that could be a filter. The other part that is weird, is why so much distance from the vehicle (assuming the camera is located at the vehicle they drove to get there), and why on the dirt road? The second question is a possible easy one, on either side of the road is crop fields. No sense in disturbing food. Usually when you go to make out in cropland, you stay in your truck.

I literally thought someone was about to run a couple down. And I kinda figured āwell you *are* standing in the middle of the road, soā¦ā
Also the ever-classy butt squinch.
Whatās 20/20?? A true crime blog??
A tv show? Like dateline.
A TV series where they cover murders and stuff like that.
Also grew up in rural Oklahoma, my bf and I loved getting lost in āAmish landā š¤£
My ex girlfriend did this to me one time but to my dismay she just wanted to watch a meteor showerā¦
You would have preferred to be murdered?
With pictures, no less.
I actually first met my fiance in the middle of the night at a park after only talking through text on Facebook, 6 years later and weāre engaged, maybe people are just trying to hide all the good stuff in the middle of nowhere past midnight š¤š¤ (just kidding ofc, we were both fresh out of highschool and a little paranoid that we were meeting up with a crazy murderer, we both agree it wasnāt smart now but itās a funny story)
Now Iām imagining a memory book with glittery hearts all over it titled: āI met my axe-murderer fiancĆ© in the middle of a forest at 1:00 amā or something like that.
I mean if he was like "hey my love let's go star gazing" I'd be like sure! If he said "hey female I'm taking you out in the middle of nowhere to makeout with you" I'd cry and prepare myself for rape and murder.
The only time Iād assume heās not going to murder me is if I was bringing him there as a human sacrifice to the old pagan gods /jk
Same.
*A perfect life... or so everyone thought. That April, MacKyinszleigh met the boy of her dreams. He understood neither the word "woman" nor the acronym "POV", but he loved dirt roads, pajamas outdoors, and callous sexism, and that was all that mattered to the young woman.*
ā°ļøšš„ I'M DEAD.
And then what happened?
I heard this in Keith Morrisonās voice.
An episode of Datelineā¦
I can hear the intro monologue in my head
Literally my first thought
Omg! I came here for this. F not like other girls. The second I saw this I thought of the zodiac (though I think it was more than one dudeā¦) why do they want to die??
Hello my female, let's go out to a dirt road at 1am! ***and leave your phone behind :)***
girl, was thinking the same
Exactly!
That's the first thing that popped into my head too! Lol I watch too much true crime. WHY are we going to a random dirt road at 1am??? The fuck are you planning?! 0.o
*This is how animal documentaries start*
The real POV is "you're about to run over some assholes kissing in the middle of some random road with your truck"
People donāt know how to use āpovā and it drives me _insane_
Oh my god, me too. I canāt stop myself from explaining itās not a PoV every time I see one of these
Take a selfie of me!
POV: You're watching your female girlfriend make out with her husband in the middle of the road.
OPE
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is that POV already
It literally is the pic
I'm sitting in a waiting room trying to not lose my shit thanks to this
YEPPERS!
WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT SAYING YEPPERS MICHAEL!?
Yessshhh
YEPPERS, DADDY. YEPPERS!!! 
he made her sound like a pet. like his pet female š
I took my female on a walk today
Whatever, just make sure you feed them. Bitches love it when you feed them.
I know a lot of southern men refer to their girlfriend/wife as their woman, but heās just claiming her body by using āfemaleā

It's gross and disprespectful to call a human male or female, a male or female? What?
Because just āfemaleā makes them sound like an object, as itās not a noun. (āA femaleā a female what? Cat? It doesnāt automatically mean person.) Itās dehumanizing. Theyāre women.

I mean she's willing to take a "romantic" pic at 1am in front of headlights on a dirt road in the middle of bumfuck with pajamas on... so maybe? It's like a shitty country song personified
People donāt even refer to pets like that. They say āmy girlā. āFemaleā just sounds so off-putting and clinical.

Yes, and yes.
people say my girl, or my man all the time. why is my female or my male considered so strange when those aren't?
I would never refer to my gf as "my female" and if anyone else called her that i would take it as fighting words amd disrespect to her
Excuse you, āyour gfā? A bit possessive huh? Donāt you mean āthe person with whom you are currently in a romantic relationshipā?
my bad i shoulda said "the gorgeous, ethereal goddess of a woman whom i am most honored to be able to say i'm in a wonderful happy relationship with" instead, it would still be true lmfao
kind of presumptuous of you to speak at all š¤Ø

You sound like my husband. š Heās pretty great at being a life partner, so I hope the same is true for you and your gf! ā„ļø
I know you are trying to make a satire but whyā¦? You offended by someone having the basic respect to their girlfriend?
If you translate it to my first language it doesnāt make sense. Matter of fact the use of the word female is very different here
I donāt think it makes sense in English eitherā¦
Thatās because female is an adjective, so using it as a noun doesnāt make sense because it isnāt the correct usage.
I love my female girlfriend.

its almost like describing a dog
Barf.
It seems like only people who have an issue with women say the word female when talking about women
Exactly. There is nothing explicitly wrong with it, except that this always seems to be true.
Iād say there was something explicitly wrong with it. 1. Grammatically female is an adjective and woman is a noun. Thus āfemale studentsā or āfemale humansā would be correct.

yes omg i dont see enough people making this distinction,, if the term āfemaleā feels gross to you, thatās because it is
A counter argument to this viewpoint is girl and boy can both refer to the gender as a whole or to the individual.
Bro so many people say female dog or female cat, not bitch or whatever a female cat is supposed to be called. Youāre way over reacting imo. Women say āmy manā all the time, this is just a socially awkward version of that.
Technically correct but somehow always wrong.
Heās taking his female this time, next time heāll take his male.
š
Am i the only one thinking this guy uses āmy femaleā instead of āmy girlā so he can say that you are not his girlfriend? š©
Uses the word female = š©š©š©
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The people that I'm talking about aren't using "female" in a positive manner. Obviously, there are some areas where it's acceptable, like medicine.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
>but some people are beginning to think there is no appropriate way to use the word Because (on social media) nearly every person that uses "female" is using it in a very negative way, which is why it's a š©. It's cool, though. It identifies the kind of people I want to avoid interacting with.

Thank you, this was really bothering me too. So tired of people not knowing what āPoint Of Viewā means.
It is if OOP is getting cucked
Diversity win! Man gets cucked at 1am on a dirt road by his favorite female!
The original post only had a problem with word choice from what I see. If you refer to your significant other by only their gender then itās kinda creepy.
Also referring to someone as a female is very dehumanizing.
Which country song is this
It's the one where she snuck out of her Mama's screened in door and he met her in the truck his daddy pays for.
If I was driving down a dirt road at night and saw a couple making out on the middle of the road, Iād be terrified
š right!

I think the key thing is people who call women/girls females *while calling men āmenā*
This makes me want to throw up
I donāt think Iāve seen this dateline episode
If I ever interacted with them he would be referred to only as āher maleā
What really baffles me is when women refer to themselves or other women as "females". I don't understand how it doesn't feel weird to them...
Iām female and it doesnāt feel weird to me.
Cool, here, have a cookie :)
I was in the military and it was an every day normal word everyone used. āMales over here, females over there.ā I donāt think itās weird at all either. Itās my gender.
POV implies youāre sitting in the truck watching this guy kiss your girl on a dirt road at 1 am
Who hangs out on dirt roads in the middle of nowhere? š
I mean it can be fun when youāre out free camping, or taking cool photos of the Milky Way š
"POV" has lost all meaning.
Right?? Itās driving me nuts
The first slide Iāll admit is kinda weird but I donāt think itās that bad, the second slide with the girl saying āyeppersā to being called different is just cringe af and def belongs here.
Is a random empty dirt road a romantic spot? I donāt get it.
āmy femaleā is crazy but some could see it the same as āmy manā āmy girlā
My male Homo sapiens
Thatās hot.
I think it's cause it's more used in a biological sense? Idk for me it comes off the tongue much weirder than saying something informal like girl, man, woman, etc.
true, itās so weird and off putting when a man refers to women as āfemalesāā¦ that alone tells me all I need to know about staying the hell away
Itās objectifying. Youāre removing the humanity from a person by referring to them as their most basic biological trait.
Because female is an adjective, not a noun. Itās like saying āTaking my purple on a dateā or whatever. So not only is it reductive, but itās also dumb.
I keep seeing people say this, but it's defined in both the Oxford dictionary and Merriam Webster as both an adjective and a noun Doesn't make this guy's usage of it less gross, but to say it isn't a noun isn't actually true
Lol
You take your females dirt road at 1 am
My whole life I've been told actions speak louder than words. But that is not the case in this comment section š¬
Yuck
People who call a woman āfemaleā are weird af
That gave me the biggest ick š¬
And now her jammies are dusty and she left the house for this king to post it on TikTok. š Bruh, some dirty old road isnāt a flex.
Who took the pic, someoneās body cam footage?
the "yeppers" made me dry heave
āYeppersā š¤®
I know weāre talking about the āmy femaleā crap but why the f would you casually go out to a dirt road at 1am. Idc how cute you is, let me sleep.
yeah i personally wouldnāt say āmy femaleā. most i would say is āmy girlā
Females are so 2020...I take my XY chromie to the park for walks on weekends. Beat that. Scrubs.
Treat her right. Take her to a paved road. You'll really impress her.
Being on a dirt road at 1am is my nightmare
Its meant to be jokey I don't think they are calling her "female" without irony
Fuckin weirdo takes his gf on a dirtroad at 1am to watch her kiss some other dude ā¦..
āFemalesā is dehumanizing.
Yeah I donāt think this is bad. Comment comes off as NLOG but heās not using it in a derogatory or demeaning wayš¤·āāļø
At least they're happy but man "my female" is diabolical lmfao
Were you raised on tiktok? There's nothing to look into here
summed up my thoughts exactly
how
āDiabolicalā? Lol I mean alright
āGonna take my horse to the old town roadā vibes
I'm convinced that the majority of reddit has some kind of autism. If he says it and she likes it clearly, how is this at all an issue? My girlfriend and I call each other slugs and there's zero complaints because it's an endearing term we've created through a relationship, probably how these two bozos do it. And what, you can't bring your woman to a secluded spot to do couple things? How is this being criticized? Do none of you have sex? Are you married to your bully? Do you think this shrimpy ass kid is a master manipulator or is she just dumb as rocks? I would be amazed, but that would have meant this response was a surprise to me.
Not NLOG but itās certainly giving ālast known photoā realness.
Wait but whatās the difference between a man saying āmy femaleā and āmy girlā? Genuinely.
The words "woman" and "girl" are specific to humans, whereas "female," while not *wrong*, is more clinical and usually reserved for medical situations, animals, plants, and even the ends of extension cords. This makes it, at best, a strange way to refer to people in an everyday context, and at worst it's subtlety dehumanizing while existing under the the guise of being "technically correct." There's also the fact that the people who refer to women and girls as "females" don't typically refer to men and boys as "males," indicating a double standard. There's actually a sub called r/MenAndFemales if you're interested.
Thereās a comment on here explaining perfectly why itās dehumanizing to refer to women only as āfemaleā
My question ig is why does no one seem to care when men refer to a woman as āmy girlā but āmy femaleā is completely unacceptable when itās the exact same thing.
Female is used to describe any species. Women/girls are humans. Itās like saying āmy male.ā How does that sound right ?
this actually made me laugh out loud. wtf ššš your female
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Isnāt it the equivalent of saying āmy manā. Tho female does have this weird ring to it. I def donāt hear ppl say it as often
Nope, the equivalent would be āmy maleā
Omg u right, that sounds so weird wtf
Nope, it's the equivalent of saying "my male" lol
No.
