I would eliminate the drool; it reduces the majesty of this love-stricken female. She already looks very majestic, mind you, but the lobotomy patient drool reduces that regality of hers a few points. I would get rid of it. Other than that, this is breath-taking. ========== 3/8/22 EDIT :: Negative eighteen. All because I dared to say the drool needs to go. It's at times like these, I wish the communists would take over. If only because it would teach these people what REAL oppression and horror is like.
Just so you know, referring to women as "females" is a sure-fire way to make sure no woman will want to come near you. It makes you sound like a Ferengi from Star Trek.

@shinobivega You know... I understand that I am potentially just taking bait but on the off chance that perhaps you really don't get it.

The downvotes are not because you said the drool should go but because of how you said the drool should go. If you perhaps had said instead "I wish she wasn't drooling. I think it detracts from this otherwise breathtaking picture." you would probably have a positive vote count or at least a more neutral one.

Ten four. Women are not females. I gotcha.
Negative copy, Shibobivega that was not the message.
More seriously, that is not at all what they were trying to say. They are saying that referring to women as Females in the context and style you did is somewhat derogatory in degrading of them not that they are not of the female sex.

How is it degrading or derogatory? It's a pretty positive statement.

Protip, women don't like being referred to as "a female", it makes it sound like you're talking about an animal. There's a reason in media aliens and nonhumans are always the ones that prefer that stilted terminology.
Doesn't matter if it's a complement if it's phrased like you're appraising livestock, and not talking about a fellow human.

I disagree, if he had used breeding stock, sow, or something of that nature you might actually have had point. Female is an accurate description and is quite neutral, the only way someone would be offended is if they're looking to be.

You can literally do a Google search on this and get over 9 billion results of articles on this exact topic. It doesn't matter whether or not you think women should be offended by referring to them like they're an animal, the truth is that women are offended by it and aren't gonna like you if you do it.

The top results are usually about the trans issue. However if I called someone male or female they're more likely be just be confused as to why I even brought it up. The only way you're offended by it is assuming the that the person calling you that thinks lesser of you because of it; and I don't get it because it's not even a slur or often used in a derogatory way. It's the way that it's used that makes it offensive.

It's incredibly ironic that you say this, when the comment that started this used the phrase "majesty of this love-stricken female." It sounds like he's describing an actual lion, and not a girl with lion ears. That doesn't strike you as the exact situation you shouldn't use the word female to refer to a woman?
If you walked up to a woman and called them "a majestic and sexy female," they would call you a creep and leave. That's not how you compliment a woman. No one who has ever called someone a female in person has ever come across as someone any woman would want to associate with. You sound like a total tool with no charisma to women if you actually think calling them "a female" is gonna win you brownie points with them. You might as well just skip the pretense and just call them a specimen.
Wow. All y'all using the word "female" aught to be ashamed of yourselves. Would you ever think to call your own mother that to her face, or your grandma?

The use of majestic seems to be playing on the fact that she is a lion girl. (Even then majestic isn't really something you can only associate with animals) If it was, "The beauty of this love stricken female." I assume you'd still have a problem with it. As for calling someone a "majestic and sexy female," if you START with that yeah probably trying way too hard, but if you're in a relationship and you say something like that you'll probably get away with it. (Because they're trying to tell them how much they value them even if they aren't great with words) Also his usage of female makes sense in that using woman would have sounded off, at least in my opinion.
Also @Xanalikesthings I did and they didn't care, probably because they're normal people.

Professional victims have no sense of context unless THEY are the ones in need of the benefit of the doubt.
