You're welcome to call it however you wish. I personally call it "quality of people."

guess this boards run out of things to complain about

Ok, girl. This seems pretty petty, but girls always find something to get worked up about.

Bitc*es better check themselves...

Is that better?

Sometimes, I think I am on a different planet.

A male friend of mine, before he married, lived with two females. And his now-wife lived with two males. They were all cats. (or is that felines?)

Sorry, find something else to be pissed about. I thought it was bad that people couldn't stomach such "offensive" words like penis and vagina, instead coming up with some sort of more "socially acceptable" words that wouldn't offend so easily.

Are you suggesting that using a term which directly identifies the sex of the person to whom another is referring, is somehow offensive?

Most men find "women" who aren't female to be somewhat scary!

I may need to go check my Biology 1 textbook but I do believe that humans are infact animals.

I say female because sometimes that's easier than differentiating between women and girls. This is especially important at my age because my female peers could be called women or girls (I'm 19).

I also use the word male.

I'm trying not to use the terms male/female as nouns. It's not correct and only highlights that I am grammatically challenged. I'm also trying not to use the term "breeding" when I refer to specific social groups of humans.
