      In the context of this discussion, the chart title is “young male virginity on the rise”, so it doesn’t seem too far off the mark.

        Yeah male virginity. Male is an adjective in this case.

        Male or especially Female as a noun, has a very weird ring to it. Sounds kinda disrespectful, as said above, like your talk about cattle…

          Eh, monkey see word male, monkey think female appropriate word to use when discussing things.

          Monkey brain is not the smart brain, but I understand where it’s coming from.
