Female....humans?

Yeah, what kind of females are we talking about?

Dude is a hero and so lucky to be alive. He's not a big dude and got buried under the collapse debris. Makes sense that he's a bad ass outside of this too, hoping for a strong recovery for my man.

well, the link and the headline were updated to correct that--the use of 'females' in the article was just a weird artifact of this dude saving at 16 year old girl and 48 year old woman. But it was just used descriptively, not quoting anybody, so not sure how it ended up in the headline bc ...yeesh.

The reporters' tweet has a GFM link in one of the replies; the link (but not the tweet) purports to be run by this man's son, but other than there being a different picture of him in the hospital than what's run in the article, I'm not actually sure how you'd verify whether it's legit or not.
(also, reddit deletes gfm links as a site rule so just go to article, click author tweet and scroll down the replies)

Female is an adjective, not a noun.

...yes? Was just speaking to how it ended up in the headline (and thus thread topic) and how that's since been changed.

Why are they referring to the women as “two females”? This drives me crazy. It doesn’t say, “70 year old male is a hero” ooh rah to Terry Bagley. I hope he pulls through.

Why not just “two people?” Or “rescue two from”?

Not defending, it, just think it's more an editorial fuckup. Even if the guy's son had called them females it wouldn't have been appropriate for the headline, but it's weirder than that given that it's the reporter.

Where can I contribute to this hero’s medical bills?
