Turning all the males into women for the movie Holes seems pretty fucked up.

Interesting choice to say "males" for men and "women" for women

Tbh I have a habit of doing it myself, because one has been decided offensive while the other has not. The other option in this case isn't "men" either, rather it'd be "boys," Camp Green Lake being a juvenile detention facility, and "boys" inverse "girls" can often be interpreted objectionably as well. (Not to mention the whole "holes" correlation, uhh, might not want to associate that with juveniles...)

Though also I think this is the first time I've ever seen "males" called out like the inverse word.

Huh? Anything like "men and girls" is weird, but "boys and girls" is completely normal

I'm just going to drop this right here: sign announcing visiting it l hours for girls and men at a small jail I took it while visiting my brother in jail. Kentucky.
