30 Entitled ‘Neckbeards’ Who Showed Their True Colors, As Shared By This Online Group (New Pics)

I agree, nice art

While you are right, of course, I do think this sculpture is uncommonly pretty and sexy. Maybe I am too much influenced by culture etc. I don't know.

When I was in my 20s and gaming with my boyfriend and our friends (all male), they ALWAYS made female characters. When I asked why, they explained, “If we have to stare at an a*s all day, it better be a NICE a*s.”

Play ESO :)

Your culture in classical art is severly lacking then. Bernini sculpted Apollo and Daphne, a dynamic scene of a chase of a young woman where every muscle is lifelike. Michelangelo sculpted the Pietas, and plenty of other anatomically perfect women statues. In the Sagrestia Nuova in San Lorenzo in Florence there are several, among those one that is so detailed and accurate that five centuries later it was possible to have a medical diagnosis of the ailments -arthritis and possibly a tumor- of the aging model. Vincenzo Vela was an amazing sculptor of human figures, specializing in lifelike reproductions of women in silk clothes. Antonio Corradini was another sculptor specializing in veiled women. At a certain point he was accused of wizardry and people thought he invented a way to turn living people into stone such was the level of details of his bodies.

What should I google for exactly? I can't really find what you are describing..

It's an absolutely amazing and useful skill to have as technology plays a vital role in so many parts of our daily life.

Learn even if you want to do a couple of projects. Coding is a good skill and it teach to dismantle problems and analyze how to resolve them.

female is a biological term implying they're merely for reproductive purposes. "women" implies they are human with dignity.

When describing human beings, 'female' is an adjective and 'woman' is a noun. Using the term 'female' as a noun is usually only done when discussing the mating habits of animals, so it's perceived as both reductionist and denigrating to use 'female' as a noun describing a human being.

Females are livestock. Women are people.

In the US you can describe an individual as female in some contexts (“the patient is a 22-yo female”, for instance), but speaking about “females” in general is typically very sexist. You don’t say “males are [so and so]”, you say “men”, and you should also say “women” when speaking about the group of people.

Its not the words itself its the snide and sarcastic way they say it.

because it is a word which removes the HUMANITY of women. there is a female type of every mammal and many other sorts of living creature. You don't have to be fully human to be female. you don't have to be HUMAN at all to be female. The people who use 'female' as a synonym for women generally tend to see human women as livestock, not as human beings. People will argue this, but in the US particularly, our judicial branch literally just overturned the right of human women to NOT be breeding livestock only. so yes, we tend to dislike being referred to as FEMALE. Women, any other spelling of that, Ladies, people with uteruses or whatever - sure. Those all emphasise that women are fellow humans with men. Female, though, literally could mean any mammal that carries babies in its body.

In the community being poked at, it’s not a matter of it being synonymous with women or being the opposite of male. It’s that they’re trying to claim us as another species entirely ‘female species’ as a way to call us less than. It’s a way to be derogatory.

English is not my first language either but I would explain it like this: All women are technically "female" but the word refers to all animals as well... just like the word "male". The word "female" is correct and can be used in some contexts without it being objectionable, but referring to women mainly (or solely) as "females" indicates that they are seen as procreating machines and not human being. I hope that helps.

Because also English is not my mother tongue: woman is any woman on the street. Female and male are used to define gender, as in girl is a female noun and boy is a male noun.

Animals are "females"...humans are WOMEN.

This doesn't really apply to this context, but using "female" as a synonym for "woman" also implies all (biologically) female humans are (socially, mentally) women.

as a female, i don't find the word offensive, woke people need to find offense in everything.

Just overly sensitive people complaining about synonyms while folks starve a few feet away from their ivory tower of wokeness.

It's just that people are too stuck up with labels. One day this word is offensive, the other day another. The issue is there are some people who are using words to be offensive and there are way more people trying to find things that they can label as offensive. We forgot to be kind and understanding and open minded. I'm living in US and English is also my second language. Sometimes I say something that I think is OK, because of language and cultural differences and all of a sudden people take offence is that. Like calling females/women/girls (I don't even know what to call who) as "He". It's not because I'm trying to be offensive, it's just that in my language, he, she and it are the same. No differences between genders or objects. We really need to stop being stuck on labels. People are people and everyone deserves respect . But we also need to be a little bit more understanding and flexible with words. That being said, I understand what the OP means he was doing to be disrespectfu

I am American and do not get the big deal with calling a woman a female. Female means one that can bear offspring, which I can do. "¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

I married myself a wonderfully nerdy D&D playing computer geek.

You’ll find someone :) I’ve been with my boyfriend for 21 years and we have been nerds together. We grew up playing the same games and reading the same books. Even better, we’ve introduced each other to NEW games and books that the other likes and now we can both enjoy together. And even if you don’t meet someone… friends are also just fine :) (I wish I had more!) You don’t have to be in a relationship to be a complete person.

Also, considering how heteronormative Male sports are, it's really *interesting* how slapping each other's butts is so common

Well of course it is because us women don't have balls 🤣 and that gave me a funny mental image
