I work on an engineering team of 15 with 5 women.

None of whom would find it acceptable to be called “females”.

That’s not “language policing” as described elsewhere in the thread.

You don’t see men in the workplace being called “males”. “Female” and “male” as nouns are used to describe animals. It’s dehumanizing. Don’t do it.

Ha, it's amazing how you people always talk in the same way. Literally ordering other people what to do. Yet you object to being called the "language police". It's priceless.

So gender ratios aren't a thing?

I’m not sure I understand what point you’re trying to make with the graphic and terse question. Could you please expand on that?

It absolutely is language policing.

That's orthogonal to whether it is correct information backing a warranted suggestion.
