Ed Sheeran's music is primarily listened by females, and I have heard so many guys say that they hate his music and it's embarrassing to have dinnertime think they listen to Ed Sheeran. That's why as a joke I say he's a dope rapper or ask other guys if he's in their top 5 British rappers.

Two red flags

  • referring to women as females

  • Ed Sheeran a rapper?

"female" is more of a technical term used in scientific writing, mostly when discussing animals. By calling women "females", it sounds both weirdly clinical and a bit dehumanising, as if you think of women as animals (or a different species).

Kind of like saying "humans" instead of "people":

"Humans like to listen to music"

"People like to listen to music"
