In my own writing, I avoid 'female' and try to say 'woman' because I feel that the word 'female' has connotations of not just biology but also non-human mammals. The idea of 'female' to me is more appropriate for a female animal.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Perhaps the most mysterious of all mammals is the male Homo sapiens. Indeed, many anthropologists classify the group as a subspecies.
Biologically speaking, if something bites you it's more likely to be female.
I think, to a great degree, we humans still divide ourselves into two species, even though we are monotypic. There are males and females. We see them as different and not equal.
Masculine and feminine roles are not biologically fixed but socially constructed.
I'm really an animal guy. I express myself in different ways as an animal.
We have a couple of dogs, but I wouldn't describe myself as an animal person.
If it's true that men are such beasts, this must account for the fact that most women are animal lovers.
I would say 'woman' used to be a noun, and now it is a noun and also an adjective. And words change their functions in that way. It's one of the most common phenomena about words. They start as one thing, and they end up as something else.
The great mass of women throughout history have been confined to the cultural level of animal life in providing the male with sexual outlet and exercising the animal functions of reproduction and care of the young.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
