    I was taking a right turn out of a convenience store driveway the other day, waiting for the traffic to go by, and noticed the driver, a female, was apparently laughing hysterically at my truck. She was alone, pointing at my truck and laughing hard.

    a female

    Yeah, sounds like a Cyber truck owner

      It seems like there’s a correlation between people that refer to women as “females” and people that don’t treat women well.

          Nah, don’t lump farmers and such into this, please. Cows and bulls, hens and roosters, nannys and billys, sows and boars. There are also words for modified gender/castration similar to agender: steer, stoat, gelding, bellwether.

        That’s a big reason I shake my head at them when I see one. Brescia that are an affront to the collective safety of the rest of us.

        I cycle (though at this point I try to stay off busy roads and on divided lanes), and the thought of a collision with one of these is terrifying.

        I shake my head at jacked up bro dozers the same way. They all scream insecurity.
