Its crazy how quotable this show is, and how fluid & interchangeable they all are to create a bit like this. In a lot of ways IAS reminds me a lot of Community. Must not be a coincidence they both had Megan Ganz writing
2003-2017 had the best sitcom writing teams ever post-Seinfeld. Always Sunny, Community, Scrubs, 30 Rock, Peep Show and Detroiters are some banger shows
Very much a Dennis type of person.

I've honestly never heard this before - is this a thing? I always thought "female" was a little weirder of a word to use but is it offensive? Genuinely asking, not trying to instigate an argument.
It wasn’t offensive but until neckbeards and the Andrew Tate “alpha bros” started using "female" as a noun instead of an adjective.
“That female over there” vs “That woman over there”
You can say “A female pilot is somewhat rare but becoming less so” and it sounds normal in that context.
I would say it wasn't really that weird before the neckbeards started using it if you were trying to emphasize the gender of the person for whatever reason but I don't live in an English speaking country so idk.
It's also that they rarely say "male". So they'll say "men who do xyz" for example, but then say "females who do abc". So it's inconsistent and usually purposely "othering" or dehumanizing.
That’s what gets me. If they use both “male” and “female,” I assume that’s just how they talk. But “man” and “female” is a red flag. Like you say, it’s dehumanizing.
You gotta listen to how they refer to men. If it’s men and females, you got a weirdo for sure.
If it’s males and females, you’ll need to perform an ocular pat down to find out if they’re a weirdo or a Jabroni.
[Edit] there’s like a 99% chance any man who refers to women as “females” is a real CHUD though 😂
Incels have taken to calling women that to dehumanize them, unfortunately. Female and Male refer to the sex of every living creature, so calling a woman just a female tends to reduce her just to her genitalia in those cases.
It’s not an offensive word in the sense that like a slur is, but when guys like this use it almost exclusively to refer to women it’s because of weird bio-essentialism sexists stuff.
“Female” sounds more cold and scientific than “Woman”, so they use the former to talk about all these made up gender roles and evil things that women supposedly inherently do as if they were describing some other species
I’ll try and take a shot at this. Imo it depends. Like if you’re describing a person, saying “short female looking about ~60”, I don’t think it’s offensive because it’s purely descriptive.
When people refer to women as females, it’s reductive because it implies or sounds like all the woman is, is her sex, ie a female. And that’s quite annoying because women have been and are still constantly objectified and treated as second class citizens in a lot of places in a lot of ways.
Like in this post where this misogynist idiot says ‘females’ should be arrested for doing this, like no fuck off dude, you’re just an angry insecure woman hater.
Even your acceptable example is still wrong. Purely descriptive should say “short woman” because that’s the proper grammar. Which brings us back to “anyone who uses ‘female’ as a noun is either dumb or a creep”
Female is used specifically as a way of dehumanising women. You can have a female animal, but you can't have a woman animal. It originally was used specifically for black women but has now reached wider use in the misogynistic community as a way to hurt all women
Lol he's referring to her as a female while also saying she should be arrested for making herself less attractive in his eyes. Doesn't get much less humanizing than that.
It is with 100% certainty that anyone who uses the word "female" in lieu of woman/girl is going to be one of the biggest dumbasses/douchebags you'll ever meet.
I don't understand this. Is this a millennial thing? Why is "woman" better? I'm seriously asking, and am not trying to be confrontational. I feel out of touch with the zeitgeist. I'm an older guy, and I've always mostly said "males" and "females," like biologists do for animals. I'm truly ready to change the language I grew up with in order to help other people not get offended, and I done that before. But I just want to understand what's going on here. I see someone else mentioning that some ultra-conservatives have taken to emphasizing the word "female" a lot? And maybe that's the reason it is becoming taboo? I asked a very liberal friend (I am also liberal) if "female" was a bad word now, and she said not so far as she is concerned, but that she too noticed that some young people were attaching negative meaning to it.
I can tell I'm not awake yet. Because for WAY TOO LONG I though this was an image of conjoined twins at their shoulders and a "Monkey cut" somehow referred to cutting them apart and people were getting up in arms as to whether it was ethical to separate them.
Then I realized it was a haircut.
That being said, the haircut looks fine. She looks ready to get a job as a waitress now.

I'm a guy with very long hair and I love it, especially because it stands out from the norm. So many guys go with the current trends, like the broccoli cut you see so many guys with these days.
I don't know why more guys don't grow their hair out, I often get compliments from ladies when I'm out shopping or something.
I think this man may be a misogynist.
Women aren't objects whose job is to please men, that definition is a fleshlight. This guy must be familiar with those.

Sorry, your tears were unexpected. Sometimes I find them very arousing.
I'm crying about my missing dog ass hole!
Is the rest of the dog missing also?
Punctuation is *so* important.
Helped your Uncle Jack off a horse
Because his hands were too small to do it alone?
Do you have a picture of your dog? Mmmhmmm. OH SHIT!
Poppins!
He can go from flaccid to erect at a moments notice
Flaccid. Erect. Flaccid. Erect.
Not too hard. Not too soft.

Can you at least acknowledge the fact that men should have some say in what women do with their hair?
The scissors were dirty and not even sharp. But now it's over. There is no going back. What have I done?
Listen, listen, it looks… *terrible*. I mean, really really bad.
What have i done. I’ve forced my sister into a back alley chop.
Dee, stop being som emotional.
Her hair looks small
I bet she's wearing two perfumes.
I thought she was wearing like some sort of comedy hat.

You’re a goon in a nightie.
Maybe that’s your murder weapon.

Yeah... holding the gang's opinion on anything in real life is a huge red flag. Not surprising this guy sucks.
Their music opinions aren’t awful… Steve Winwood, Biz Markie, Boyz II Men, etc.
Lol, they write characters who are absurd. If you match their opinion IRL, you're definitely an IDIOT and a SAVAGE!!

People who refer to women as females should be arrested.
I don’t take any man seriously who calls a woman a “female”.
I've honestly never heard this before - is this a thing? I always thought "female" was a little weirder of a word to use but is it offensive? Genuinely asking, not trying to instigate an argument.
It wasn’t offensive but until neckbeards and the Andrew Tate “alpha bros” started using "female" as a noun instead of an adjective. “That female over there” vs “That woman over there” You can say “A female pilot is somewhat rare but becoming less so” and it sounds normal in that context.
Female as an adjective is fine, female as a noun (outside of a clinical setting) is weird.
This is how I view it. Like I would say "the male/female doctor" but not say "that female/male over there".
I would say it wasn't really that weird before the neckbeards started using it if you were trying to emphasize the gender of the person for whatever reason but I don't live in an English speaking country so idk.
It's also that they rarely say "male". So they'll say "men who do xyz" for example, but then say "females who do abc". So it's inconsistent and usually purposely "othering" or dehumanizing.

That’s what gets me. If they use both “male” and “female,” I assume that’s just how they talk. But “man” and “female” is a red flag. Like you say, it’s dehumanizing.
And you really have to lay into the 'e' in females, too. Pronounce it fEEmales with the same inflection as '2 wars?'.
![gif](giphy|TjYl3otLCTRc0KFeC0|downsized) I always picture these guys when people use female as a noun
You gotta listen to how they refer to men. If it’s men and females, you got a weirdo for sure.

Ok.. I guess I could see that. I think I'm just a bit detached from social media in general so I'm not really exposed to that line of thinking.
Sir, this is Reddit
The word itself is fine, but for whatever reason, men who use it are pretty much never saying something positive about said female(s)
It wouldn't be offensive if it wasn't mainly misogynists and they used males and females instead of men and females.
It’s not an offensive word in the sense that like a slur is, but when guys like this use it almost exclusively to refer to women it’s because of weird bio-essentialism sexists stuff. “Female” sounds more cold and scientific than “Woman”, so they use the former to talk about all these made up gender roles and evil things that women supposedly inherently do as if they were describing some other species
I wish people weren't so prone to being awful to each other.
It’s only acceptable to use as an adjective. Neckbeards call men men and women females. Like they’re dehumanizing them
I’ll try and take a shot at this. Imo it depends. Like if you’re describing a person, saying “short female looking about ~60”, I don’t think it’s offensive because it’s purely descriptive.

How is short female improper grammar ?

Specifically when it's used on its own, to just refer to a woman.
Yeah, those stupid science bitches can't even say woman...
Damn, scientists catching strays all because incels wanted to sound smarter than they actually are
What about those of us who call them females but pronounce it like tamales?
You keep using this word, fe-maah-lays? And it's *awesome!*
Whenever I read "females" in my head it sounds like "tamales".
It's such an obvious dog whistle for misogyny.
I had a date with a girl once who referred to other women as “females” and it threw me for a loop ![gif](giphy|tc3Z37UeRGWUBYROMV)
Femcel behavior.
Lol he's referring to her as a female while also saying she should be arrested for making herself less attractive in his eyes. Doesn't get much less humanizing than that.
It is with 100% certainty that anyone who uses the word "female" in lieu of woman/girl is going to be one of the biggest dumbasses/douchebags you'll ever meet.
And blasted in the balls with a battering ram
At least banished from the internet and left to wallow in their celibacy

It's crazy how much her face changes from the haircut

Terrible, take a lap
A monkey cut is what you get when you get when your surgeon has had a couple of monkey beers.
A woman has a RIGHT to chop!
this dude literally just got fired for sexual assault
Short hair don't care
ITS TOO MUCH
I could be so wrong, but she kinda looks like the Waitress. Not 1 for 1 with Mary Elizabeth Ellis, but has a bit of a look of her.
I thought so too. Was looking for this comment
So it not just me and my donkey brains? (Trick question, I know I have donkey brains.)
You dont get a monkey cut like that unless youre broken inside
are you talking to me?
No, sweetie, I’m talking about you.
I support your choice to look like whatever kind of primate or simian species you choose, because it is your choice!
*slinks away...*
#LOOK AT ME WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TO ME!!
Referring to girls as females, now that should get you arrested
Yes, arrest all women with short hair because it makes me question my sexuality. -This guy
Lol she actually does look way better with the short hair though imo /serious
I really like short haired women
Take a lap
Thanks dad
I'm not your dad
Manic Pixie Girl in my attraction DNA
Same, also think most men look better with longer hair. We really fucked up on assigning gender roles on that one

Baldness is why. If I don't get regular haircuts I start to look like a mix between the crypt keeper and Ewan Mcgregors character in Fargo
My wife loves my long hair :)
https://youtu.be/sw223MKvSE8?t=239
Take a lap
No it actually fits her face so well😭
It totally brings out her cheeks and longer neck. She looks so good with it compared to longer hair.
I usually love the pixie style cut, some ladies look really good with it. It doesn't always suit everyone though.
Definitely suits her
disagree
Good thing it's not your head then!
***A Woman’s Right to Chop***
i dont know if my opinion matters, but i like her best with short hair, it suits her
I don't think this guy is in any position to be picky about what "females" he's interested in
"FEEEEMAAAALES" Like you had a chance either way, loser.
It's hilarious that he chose a pic of a girl who actually looks better with the pixie cut to make his point.
She looks adorable with short hair. It draws attention to her gorgeous wide-set eyes.
Now, I've been thinking *fish* lately...
If these women want to run around looking like a simian, thats their right!
Well, it's kind of hard for them not to. All humans are simians.
There's two stages to women's thoughts about their hair: 1. I'm thinking about getting bangs 2. I hate my bangs so I'm growing my hair out
I dig it
The kind of guy that has "tools" in his truck.
Short-haired women are hot.
I'm convinced straight guys don't actually like women at this point
I think this man may be a misogynist. Women aren't objects whose job is to please men, that definition is a fleshlight. This guy must be familiar with those.
Jokes aside I actually really like girls with short hair, in fact some might say to a concerning degree
“Females” The second that word get used you know where it’s going
"Hey. We got monkey."
It's a pizza the moment you put your fists in the dough!
Dont worry, Z can fix you up.
She's cute enough to pull it off.
I think it’s an improvement honestly. She looks happier at least

Wow, she looks absolutely phenomenal with that pixie cut like WOW.

She looks better!!!!!
It's making my valve back up
I was looking for a comment about a women's right to chop on this posted elsewhere

My daughter has an appointment to get a Monkey Cut on June 29th! I forgot about this episode - will get my husband to re-watch it with me
I WOULD LIKE A HAIRCUT
Arrest them. The prison is my room.
lol shots at the waitress
ITS TOO MUCH!!!!
One hundred percent disagree. I haven't to think some chicks look hot like this.
I don’t have to face OR the body for it!
Lol
The hair is on the head. The hair is a lie. And therefore it’s better to just remove the head entirely.
“You won’t outsmart me!”
I wish I have enough hair to pull that off.
It's funny because I think this particular woman actually looks better with the short hair. But I'm not a Golden God™️,so who cares what I think.
I AM THE KING OF THE MINIONS, NOT TIM MURPHY! NOT THAT JERK-OFF IDIOT JERK-OFF!
She wears it well…👀
This is why many women choose the bear. That episode was so spot on at the irrational anger and possession that some men feel toward women.
Do what? Cut their hair?
"Females"
short hair is beautifull. ive had short hair like this and its a vibe. grew back to
Grew back to what?
grew back tonthe way it was before i cut it
