    Eh, I will admit I tend to notice poor takes from people who refer to half the population as “females” routinely.

    It’s accurate, in the same way “a bag of flesh” is accurate. But it’s also strictly “othering” for many phrases where you could just be talking about all people, or use the simpler “women” or “men”. Besides, it’d be perfectly fair to knock a lesbian for being excessively horny to the point she wants Supergirl to look sexually exposed in a fight.

    I will apologize for nitpicking words, though. It can get grating.
