@SatanicNotMessianic @Deceptichum I think that's somewhat fair, but linguistically "female" is an adjective and "women" is a noun. The noun in that sentence is "singer" and female is a classifying adjective.
The original post IS stupid and has sexist overtones, but I don't think they come from word choice.
@AllonzeeLV I think the basic logic is that if they're as bad as us, they don't make it past their own global environmental catastrophes.
@Sethayy the existence of people not offended by something prejudiced always seems to be dragged out as a justification for that prejudice.
If some people being offended isn't reason enough not to say something, then it stands to reason that some people not being offended isn't a reason why it's okay.
If it is, then there are definitely people who are offended.

Sorry for the daily mail link, but:
New York District Attorney Cyrus Vance (pictured above) has been an outspoken critic of Apple's end-to-end encryption policy, saying 'they have taken away one of our best sources of information. Just because they say so.'
@DarkGamer There is a difference between promoting something and being the sole source of it. They used appropriate and clear language and you purposefully misunderstood them to make an asinine point.
@Bebo There's been evidence for a long time that pythagoras was more cult-leader than mathematician, and his cult falsely attributed lots of things to him.
@SatanicNotMessianic can't say any of that is wrong or unreasonable, but I still do find the expressed intent of the post more misogynistic than the use of the word female in context.
