You might want to give "Gulf of America" a search, then

Imagine my surprise at your inability to feel shame

Lol this makes more sense. I thought the monk assumed "air fryer" was a slangy term for the sun

Certainly not. He uses Pope!_OS

Put some clothes on!

She's dancing at a ball, and "having a ball"

Better luck next time, Austin Powers!

I mean, there's also historical context to be considered here. Throughout history (and still today in many places) women have been treated as subhuman, or at least as lesser to men; in many cultures, married women were literally considered the chattel of their husbands. In that context, using the term "female" which almost explicitly carries no connotations of personhood feels a lot more like a hateful slur. I don't think "male" really carries that same historical baggage, though.

To add on, I've found that referring to women as "females" in anything other than formal or scientific contexts has adopted something of a sour taste in recent years. The practice is often associated with incel/misogynistic behavior and ideology, probably because it implicitly strips women of their personhood and reduces them to their sex. Put another way, both a female dog and a female human could be called a "female", but only one could be called a "woman".

That's my own two cents though, take them with a grain of salt.

I don't disagree; the full-grown adults who are complicit in the bullshit we've been subjected to absolutely deserve to be punished. But the comment I originally replied to demanded the death of "kids and pets" as well, which is plainly unhinged.

Everyone in this thread is suddenly really comfortable with hurting innocent people/animals as long as they get to see the ones they hate suffer. Where have I seen that before...?
