Describing guys with bullshit Greek-derived “personality type” adjectives still at least acknowledges they are human with some kind of personality, even if you’re using one of the negative ones. And a few of them are even considered positive descriptors.
But the common use of the word “female” in informal contexts, without any other descriptors attached, does exactly what the article author says it does and isn’t nearly as pervasive for men or boys.
The rest of your comment was read in a pirate voice in my head.
