The whole label of being a woMAN or feMALE I think is so that the men has ownership over our bodies, because we are part of them in name alone. It is so conservative and sadly still true, so I don't let people call me a woman or a female... I am a PERSON :D actually one of my best male friends told me that if he were a girly he would just refer to himself as a person and thats where I got the idea from.

I mean Eve was created to be a play thing of Adam right? so naturally we have these phrases that are horribly sexist and only related to males, it really is unfortunate that they have stuck!

I'm not a huge feminist but I believe in equality for men and women and so I loved your post!
