What is a female??

[Kfox]

That's just one example of many.

Is it your view the harassment of autistic children is a major problem in the USA?

Don't take this as necessarily a fact as these people taught me wrong on much and I forgot this until now, but the Church taught me for woman amd female that pattern you noticed is intentional and deliberate. If I recall correctly (and this was decades ago) the claim was the word woman means something like of a man or from a man.

Etymologically, woman would seem to mean simply “female person”, while man means simply “person”. From the Wiktionary: Modern English woman comes from Middle English womman, wimman, wifman, from Old English wīfmann (“woman”, literally “female person”), a compound of wīf (“woman”, “female”, whence English wife) +‎ mann (“person, human being”, whence English man). As to why in English a woman would be viewed as a “person with qualification”, while a man would be viewed as simply “a person” seems curious. In Anglo-Saxon, the words for “man” and “woman” were, respectively, wer (cognate to Latin vir, “adult male human”) and wīf.

It is definitely an issue, yes. And not just children but autistic adults also frequently struggle in this societ, such as how autistic people are massively unemployed and underemployed despite possessing solid qualifications and likely able to do the job very well. There's even emerging studies that show deemphasizing interviews and placing an emphasis on skills accessment helps bith the employer find better suited employees (rather than hiring those who up the charm factor) amd it goes a long way in helping autistic people get suitable employment.

What I was taught was such a heavily and biased distortion and warping of history I was taught that literally all languages spoken today came from the Confusion of Language when the Tower of Babel was being built.

I didn't know Catholics also taught that.

I find it quite counterintuitive to teach young people things that they will later have to unlearn in order to approach the truth of their world.

Can you site some studies that support this claim?

How about starting another thread as the topic if this one isn't autism?
