A Women Rant.

Women right? Why do people suck at using 'Women' properly?

It's a fucking plural. 'A women' is like nails on a chalkboard, it's a fucking plural. I have questions.

Does the existence of its use as a collective confuse you? 'A women's product' is okay because the collective 'women' is used as an adjective here. The product is for or of women.

I have to know. Is it a specific demographic of second-language english speakers making this mistake consistently? If there were some reason that the english structure for the usage of the plural women was hard to adapt to because it's unique to our language or because other languages don't use it in a specific way then my fury would be sated.

If you do speak English as a second language and make this mistake due to that reason, I'm more open to being lenient and understanding. It's not a huge issue.

On the other hand if English is only your second language to "Memes" then I need you to stop using the word entirely and start using something else because you're hurting me. Even when I'm not there, you're hurting me because you're planting weeds in the garden of language and just covering it in your own manure.

So I dunno, use "female/s" instead. That couldn't offend anybody.
