You've been told (probably at length) what women in general prefer to be called. It's probably even been explained to you. Your feigning ignorance about why is just saying that you don't find those answers satisfactory.

You're free to call women "females" and you can justify it however you want, just like I'm free to allow absolutely zero people who refer to me as "female" (outside of very limited clinical circumstances) to touch my tits.

I assume there are also other criteria as well?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Lol yeah, there is quite a bit of criteria.

Would you say 'women doctor' in this scenario?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I actually say "lady doctor." Because I do prefer a doctor who is a woman and "lady doctor" sounds fancy.

E: Last male doctor I had told me that it was "just" an ovarian cyst and it "shouldn't hurt that much" so I should take some aspirin and I'd be able to work tomorrow. So yeah. Lady doctor for me.

I actually say "lady doctor."

But what if you are in country where aristocracy doesn't exist?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

I do exist in such a country! But I was recently called "quirky" so I guess take my advice as you will.

Weird of you to continue the argument at this point really

[–] CouldntCareBear 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It was a genuine question. I have no argument here. I don't know the best term in this situation.

If people prefer "women doctor" then call them "women doctor".
