a powerful ally (lemmy.world)

"The single most important thing a man can do to be an ally is give his woman friends permission to give dudes at the bar his number so when they call he can angrily say that's not funny because she died 15 years ago that very night"

Not sure why there's so much confusion over the use of woman vs. female. To my mind it's

"Alice is a woman, she is a female friend", not "Alice is a female, she is a woman friend".

(But even if you want to say 'woman friend', you'd then have to 'women friends' for the plural)
