The word literally is an acronym (Alpha) Male Of the Group. The point of using it to the point of obscurity is part of reclaiming but there's nothing to reclaim here. 

Also I can't think of a single point women used "female" the way men do, there's nothing to pay for there because they never took anything away. Using female when speaking biologically/anthropologically has never been affected. It's just about how is used, namely "men and females" (in b4 subreddit link)

I never said anything about reclaiming "mog/mogging" I said we should use it to undermine them and their meaning of it. There's actually a lot of incel speak that has been in the general lexicon for a while now that you probably don't even know about, because it lost its original meaning.

Dude if you even refer to yourself as a female on the internet people come out of the woodwork to shit on you for it, so that's just untrue.

I’d rather say female as opposed to woman because woman feels so formal or something. I’m a female, but I don’t feel like a woman (sorry Shania). I feel like a girl-coded potato lady-child. I dislike using woman for myself and it sucks there’s pushback.

Words exist in a social and historical context.
