I’ll probably get brutally assassinated for saying this, but typing “female friend” in this case is simpler than explaining that “girl friend” is not his girl friend.
I know there are people that have made it a mission in life to be shit heels and have made the word female into something nasty but I still say we shouldn’t let them.
Thanks for listening to my Ted talk and try not to hate me for having an opinion.
I may just be old, but I agree. (Editing to add I’m an old cis woman.) I think Anon using “female” as an adjective with “friend” when he’s going on to talk about girls’ night with her and the rest of his new friends is several levels less bad than someone using “female” as a noun, they’re just dismissed as “a female.”
I also suspect that it won’t be long before the egg cracks and we see the update on this post over in blahaj 196 or whatever it is.
I think we should go deeper. Rewrote it to avoid any language that might trigger anyone.
>friend invites me to group-watch cartoons
>pretty fun
>they want me to watch stuff with them next week too
>get invited to their irc
>they call their weekly cartoon watching night
>ask why they invited me to watch night
>they say I don’t count
>ask why
>“you’re basically a friend”
What the? I’m 6’1

Really? I’ve always thought female as an adjective is completely normal. Using it as a noun (to describe women) is what’s weird.
That usage (as a noun) tends to set off a good twenty minutes of goblin mode at lesbian game night.
I just made this to prep for the next one
It is. OP doesn’t understand the difference.
Yeah female is just the adjective form of woman. It’s normal to use as an adjective, cringe as a noun

man friend with feeeeemalees?
must be trans
No, male-female friendships are great and can last a long time, but these girls say Anon is practically a girl, maybe they see something true.
They’re making baseless, silly assumptions in the same vein as modern bigots in jest. Is satire.
What about… “Friend”?

Hope that helped
Did you not read the post? Her being a woman is critical to the story
“With her and her friends” makes it pretty clear in my opinion, but I guess the use of “female” makes it clear that op is a man
Wait, you hear “her” and assume gender. Die in a fire bigot.
That could work and would probably be fine here, but saying female in this case is ok because context.
It was descriptive of his friend, not a label or whatever it is that makes it bad.
