I know a couple other people are bothered by this, and now I feel obligated to bring up in a separate thread that the word female, used as a noun, not an adjective, is disrespectful. It degrades women to their biological purpose and should be censored on this board, in my opinion, when used as a plural noun, as it is most often.
I've been crusading against this term for a few months now, and GMD is littered with it at this point. I ran searches for it in some of our most popular thread and the high results have me angered. I think it deserves censorship far more than, say, the place where one might go to receive over-the-counter and prescription medications.
Call me a feminist or whatever but it's become too much of a concern for me at this point.
