In response to the first point, there are a lot of scientific studies on this. Some have come to the conclusion that women experience emotions more intensely but others have remained inconclusive. I don't have the time to fully research this. Regarding the second point, it may be valid, but there's also things that make *men* less capable. While men are usually physically stronger, they are generally less tolerant of starvation and tend to experience pain more intensely. This is probably related to the evolutionary roles of the two most commonly occuring genders. (All of these are general statements and do not apply directly to individuals.)

I've had things like that too. When will the creeps realize all it does is get them blocked?

Funny, but sad.

Also, weird capitalization.

I can't decide if this is supposed to explain what
@aVague meant in #4, sarcasm, or genuine creepiness.

I am very disappointed in the use of the word "female" as well in the title of the thread; it's rather creepy to use outside of biology. (The same is true of "male" but the usage of biological terms is skewed towards women.) After all, our gender expression is clearly more important socially compared with our biological sex. "Female" is also used by trans-exclusionary radical feminists (TERFs).
Here's a whole website dedicated to this:
callmebymygender.top/Oh, and by the way, there's a whole subreddit, r/menandfemales, dedicated to posting instances of people using the word "female".
