"This is the perfect spot for the nest," the female signals.
"I know, I know... but look, there's that guy filming us," the male suggests.
"Forget him. This is the perfect spot, I'm sure of it. And don't argue with me."

Olufunke Ajeigbe, PhD, a Postdoctoral Fellow, is the JPET HTA for October 2026. Her research investigates the short- and long-term effects of an acute high dose of THC, the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, in adult male and female rats: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpet.2026.105033

Hillary was the most qualified person, male or female, to ever run for the presidency. Certainly more qualified than Trump. Americans don’t seem to be able to elect a female. Agree Biden’s choice to run again was devastating for the country.

Splayo (right) appears to be exploring the possibility of feeding The Warlike Smalus -- who, based on his/her cere, may well turn out to be female, despite displaying a more male attitude. It's too early to tell.

This grown man spent £60 on a videogame, and wrote a review about how it "seems increasingly hostile towards its predominantly male playerbase."

Jesus christ you couldn't waterboard this sadsack shit out of me

Oh man, that would drive me totally insane. I hate when people treat the male protag as a game as the default and the female protag like some kind of novelty item. She's a protagonist too!! Don't disregard her status just due to her gender?! 💀

I still can’t work out if it’s female or male

Question!
Can hogsbreath pass the Female PT Test!
I know he can't pass the Male PT Test.

Hegseth made the fitness test harder for women in combat roles. Most female Marines are passing.
Despite tougher standards, Marine Corps data show more than 9 in 10 women in combat arms are passing the test.

And then you have our enbies who don’t necessarily HAVE to fit in a category. They can appear male, female, or androgynous. They’re also a form of transition, but that doesn’t mean they have to make body alterations, either

Context: an artwork of every protagonist plushie being held by the love interest they ship the protag with. However, the female protag plushies aren't held, but the female protags are holding plushies of their LI (male). One of the femcs is holding an mmc; disregarding her protag status

I'd like posts of my oshi which is the female protag of a game, and then Twitter would show me the male protag but also my NOTPs of that male protag from artists that specifically draw only that or draws my oshi in a way that circles back to being misogynistic 😭 "waifu" ppl eww

I would describe it as a role reversal of narrative roles. The naive young person ignorant to the realities of war is a character archetype that isn't barred from being male, but it's usually female. Ala Sansa Stark/Brienne of Tarth vs the educating/"educating" men who enter in their lives.

Sopranos Plothole: No prisoner, male or female, italian or otherwise, ever sat in the cell thinking “I wish I had some manicotti”. It’s the last on the list of Italian food cravings. It’s what they try to make you take home after an Italian funeral luncheon. Too much-a rigaut inda monnygaut! Madonn!
