A Woman Being Called "Female" is Dehumanizing?

not really dehumanizing technically, just shows a poor grasp of the english language

animals are females. human females are called "women"
Sometimes using the word female is correct
It depends on the context

It's simple: no one uses the word "male" to describe men. They just say men. "Female" sounds cole and clinical in a weird way.
Depends on the context

For instance, let’s say i go to a friend and say, “This coworker is pissing me off”

The response to that question can very well be “male or female?” And that is even be more likely to be said than man or woman

I don’t know the context under which the man said female but 9/10 times it isn’t that serious and sometimes female is the more appropriate word to use . That chick single for a reason

It’s some women who don’t even like the word girl or lady used either. They always complaining about something

Put your foot down and speak up if you find it demeaning (which you should, imo)
Oh fukking brother. Allow misandrists to make you think you’re saying something offensive by saying you have female/male friends brehs. I’ve only heard this argument from women who I know for a fact spew I hate men rhetoric or have serious issues with men, and now normal people have ran with it.

People have always used men/male/women/girl/female interchangeably in free conversation. White incels and raging feminists should not dictate how people talk. I made that point because these types very naturally “dehumanize” men in a variety of ways, but don’t see it that way. He’s my nikka but don’t call me a female, for example.

:yeshrug: Misandrist women need to manufacture reasons to resent men. The words males and female are both used to describe men an women and there's nothing inherently dehumanizing about them. Not surprising that this conversation is loudest in a matriarchal Community with lots of anti-male attitudes

When used in a scientific context, yes. When used by some highschool drop out, explaining how the opposite gender having equal rights ruined the world, not so much.
IMO this is the part people don't get, the outrage isn’t really about the word itself, it’s about who is perceived to be using it. The term becomes a “problem” once it’s associated with the language of working-class Black men, a group that a certain "intellectuals" have always pathologized through selective cultural lenses like The Bluest Eye and The Color Purple.
