I refer to them as "males" quite often. Population is usually preceded by adjectival male or female. Somebody on the lecture circuit repeatedly using "men population" and "women population" sounds almost as cracker-barrel as "menfolk" and "womenfolk". Fine if the individual is Mark Twain or Will Rogers, but just preachy-weird if it's a member of the Social Utopian Ministry trying to keep track of all the sacred etiquette of the institution and its constantly edited crime-speak list.

Either that or on why transgenders are experiencing more sexual harassment.  Wait ...no...how 'bout on how males, I mean men are experiencing the same problems that women face? As it stands now, even just mentioning sexism against men is viewed as an attack on feminism.

what is the first question most have been brainwashed to ask when a new baby has been born ?
"is it a boy or girl?" & followed by how heavy is the baby(weight is no indicator of health more soo a pre-rogrammed value of associative realative false knowledge)

this is quite deep brain washing. many are not even aware of it.

one would like to think the more important question is "is the baby healthy?" though many would bulk at such a question suggesting to ask it is to attempt to unsettle a new parent.
irony of brainwashing...
