Did a SP ever say something that hurt your feelings?

Incredible. I go out of town for several days and come back to find out it is not considered proper to refer to a woman as a female.
I thought I had seen it all........or rather heard it all.

People now get too offended by words, 10 years ago this discussion would not be happening. Mentioning it is a red flag for someone to say female, really.
It’s always been offensive to say ‘men and females’. Lmao why would it ever be ok to refer to one gender that way and the other by an adjective. You either say ‘males and females’ or ‘men and women’.
Lmao, and in that vein. Five minutes in, the guy is laying there all spent and asks the lady, "so, did I make you cum and was it good for you?"
The lady replies, "Well hun, sorry but no, I didn't cum but on the bright side, I kinda enjoyed the 4 minutes and 30 seconds of cuddling."
I haven't experienced any SPs/MPs actually hurt my feelings, but definitely say or do things to kind of interrupt or kill the mood to the point that it makes it difficult to 'rise up' again.
Really dampens the mood when it happens lol
- During missionary, SP proceeds to tell a story about her high school crush. I'm sorry, is this really the time? And why this story?
- MP is jerking me off while casually telling me about her weekend plans.
- MP/SP stops the action immediately just as things were getting heavy to mention that it'll be an extra fee for certain services even though I wasn't interested nor about to engage in those services otherwise.
- SP rushes off in the middle of things to answer a phone or to simply fix her make-up... why???

Indeed. It sounds like a lesson in Orwellian thought reeducation. My grade school teachers would be so proud.
It is simply bad grammar. I would not consider it offensive and would only red-flag it in terms of it being bad grammar. No passing grade for the writer.
Having said that, you are correct it is "males and females" and "men and women".
Where's Maurice Richard when you need him, lol!
En français le nom femelle utilisé pour désigner une femme a toujours été considéré comme étant sexiste et injurieux.
Very well said and a fact of life in this day and age.
There has never been a more timely and truthful novel ever written in my experience.
It is so mindboggling how he was able to predict the future to a tee in that book. I recall reading it as a 14-year-old and did not put it down until I read it completely. It was the only book I ever read like that, from start to finish in an afternoon.
Can you please point out where I said men and females? If you are concerned about proper grammar how is the they/them OK to use for a singular person?
Also this argument always baffles me because there's no way you went an entire life without ever saying "somebody forgot their wallet" for example.
Their wallet is not they, I am old enough to know how to spell.
Chicago Manual of Style (CMS has traditionally recommended avoiding use of singular they. They accept it, however, when referring to a non-binary person.
