As a female have you ever actually felt the difference when having intercourse with a penis with a larger than normal circumference?

I suggest not referring to women as "females". Many find that to be de-humanizing.
The question itself is fine.
My god, is every word going to get canceled eventually?
When did using the term male and female become problematic?
It became problematic when misogynists began using the term female as a way to dehumanize women. These men feel the need to blame all of their problems on women while simultaneously believing that a woman will also solve all their problems. It's an easy outlet to channel their rage while accepting zero responsibility for their own actions.
When people started having so little going on in their lives that they began manufacturing reasons to get outraged for other people.
At least 10 or 15 years ago was when I first got informed about it. It's likely been problematic for much longer. Its really not that hard to use the word "women" instead. Usually when people refer to men they use the word "men", so it's only fair to use women also. Females feels a bit icky tbf. Like women are a different species or something.
It is linguistically problematic to use adjectives as nouns AFAIK.
It's always a bit sus, but I try to give the benefit of the doubt at first. I haven't creeped their post history yet to see if they're misogynist yet.
I generally find that a gentle reminder helps people who are not a problem, and quickly reveals those that are the problem.
I think it's a tongue in cheek response to this post, rather than being shitty:

This post was the first to be made. I think the other was made to get a rise out of "snowflakes" or whatever.
The thing is that this post isn't even shitty. The question is both fine and valid, and the OP hasn't done anything terrible either. I just like pointing out things to improve communication.
