In case it wasn't obvious, the word "female" is an adjective, and referring to a group of people by an adjective instead of a noun has a demeaning connotation in English, especially when it's primarily used for one group and not another.
Notice how the word "male" is only mentioned in this article as an adjective ("male/female mix", "male/female interests"), but "females" is often used as a synonym for "women" ("% of females", "people likely to trust females", "females in career", "likes from females"). "Female" is not a drop-in replacement for "women".
> Using "female" in this way is contrary to how we generally communicate. As noted above, "female" as a noun erases the subject—making "female" the subject of the sentence. In the most technical sense, it's correct, but by employing this word that is usually an adjective as a noun, you're reducing her whole personhood to the confines of that adjective. It's calling someone "a white" instead of a white person, "a black" instead of a black person, and so on.[0]
Not really trying to judge this article—it's been a while since I've dealt with research jargon, and I can't judge whether referring to groups as adjectives like this is standard practice in that field. And the Jezebel article I've linked to even mentions that "females" has a clinical feel, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's standard in this setting. But this bias is pretty prevalent in everyday speech and is worth being aware of and trying to prevent.
Sorry for being pedantic but "male/female mix" is actually using both "male" and "female" as nouns in the same way that "sugar/salt mix" is using "sugar" and "salt" as nouns.
In disability-oriented fields and discussion, it's called people-first language. You're right, it's a sore point. I noticed it too, although I've been kind of trained to notice it.
I assume they're aggregating similar terms, so is this just a case of choosing the wrong aggregate name? Google Trends reports "playstation" is MUCH more common than "play station" (looks like at least 10:1).
Looks great. I can only imagine that this is the first step towards allowing users to store their credit card information securely with Stripe and not have to pass it through every merchant site. I can't wait until the day that Stripe's ease of use for developers meets (and exceeds) Paypal's ease of use for customers.
Spending more time doing X is correlated with spending more time talking about X?
Spending more time talking about X is correlated with spending more time arguing about X?
Spending more time arguing is correlated with higher relationship conflict?
All completely obvious results, strung together with logical fallacies to conclude that video games are correlated with relationship conflict. Although I do have to give the article credit for not implying causation—wait, they do, never mind.
For example, I can assure you that: 1) men who cook more also talk about cooking more, 2) men who talk about cooking more (all other things, including amount talked about in other areas, equal) argue about cooking more, and 3) men who argue about cooking more (all other things, including levels of argument in other areas, equal) exhibit more physical aggression towards their partners. Using the exact same logic, I can conclude that cooking causes relationship abuse.
To play devil's advocate, women who play video games may be more likely to be with boys who play video games, or otherwise have a partner that can identify with having a time consuming and less than social hobby, one that is also mostly designed to cater to men.
