    Yup, because that’s how adjectives work

    The real complaint is people who refer to women as “females” which makes them sound like ferengi. Saying a “female engineer” is just correct grammar. Some folks have instead, lacking a capacity for nuance (and language) taken this to mean that there is an issue with the word “female” in general.
