holaafrica: The politics of the word “female” and it’s common usage in everyday conversation is something few people take the time to consider deeply. Woman and female are often used interchangeably with little thought or regard the way in which misogyny is embedded in within language.  Men are men. Women are females. This conceptualization reduces women to their anatomy making womanhood something that is bound up in biology- which is both reductive and sexist. While female is not in and of itself a bad word -the ways we use in everyday language is both cis-sexist & patriarchal.  After all not all females are women and not all males are men and absolutely nobody is just a sack of body parts.   Thanks to @nas009 @SaladReloaded @JuleeJane for contributing to the discussion on twitter
