Sexist autocorrect test replies please.

As I type, normally, on my iPad, the word Male will automatically correct to be capitalised, but female won't!

Could i ask for replies with both the words 'Male' and 'female' in them? Obviously don't start a sentence with them. I want to see if it's just my own treacherous sexist tablet, or a bigger thing.
Thanks.

He's a male
She's a female
Nope just your sexist iPad is Male a word you've typed a lot? I can't ever remember using Male.

HelloViroids · 27/03/2019 13:52

She’s a female and he’s a Male - OMG mine does it too ShockShockShock

hipsterfun · 27/03/2019 13:52

Male - capital of the Maldives.

Not sexist.

HelloViroids · 27/03/2019 13:52

Definitely don’t type “Male” (or “male”) very often

terryleather · 27/03/2019 13:52

I noticed a while back that my phone does this too...

He is Male - that's using the autocorrect.

HelloViroids · 27/03/2019 13:52

Ohhhh doh

Jammiebammie · 27/03/2019 13:53

Female male

I have a feminist iPhone apparently

ScreamingInTheVoid · 27/03/2019 13:56

Whaaaaaat!? Who knew eh? Capital of the Maldives Shock
But, why is it assuming I'm taking about that 'Male' and not the more common Male, adult human version?

He is male

Backinthebox · 27/03/2019 13:58

Weirdly I am in male atm. My autocorrect is obviously neither sexist not geographically aware.

nervousnelly22 · 27/03/2019 14:00

Haha yes I came on to say isn't Male the capital of the Maldives? Mine corrected that but not female

ScreamingInTheVoid · 27/03/2019 14:04

I've fixed it. I just selected the non capitalised Male ...... shit. It's gone back.

Male male males males male male male.

Male male male.

Female, I've typed Female with a capital F so many times that my iPad automatically uses a capital Grin male does not automatically have a capital.

Absolutepowercorrupts · 27/03/2019 14:07

My iPad used to put a capital on male but because I kept changing it back it doesn't do it any more, male Female

Backinthebox · 27/03/2019 14:20

As an aside, my hisband’s name is an unusual name but also a unit of measurement (there are several units of measurement that could be male names!) but in spite of me typing his name with a capital every time I do it, it never assumes I want a capital letter on his name. I think autocorrect is often a law unto itself.

SnugglySnerd · 27/03/2019 14:24

My phone capitalises the word hill. I assumed it was because I have a contact saved whose name is xxx Hilland have typed it in that context with a capital.

HorsewithnoRhymeOrReason · 27/03/2019 14:27

She is female and he is male.

Phew, my iPad is PC.

DpWm · 27/03/2019 14:30

She is female he is male

It doesn't autocorrect but on my keyboard options I can choose to click on male / Male or / make.

Samsung Android.

beebreath · 27/03/2019 14:31

I am a female

I am not a male

I do not have a Dick !

Dick with capital D

soloula · 27/03/2019 14:31

He is Male she is female

Yup sexist android phone here too...

LucyFox · 27/03/2019 14:33

He is a male & she is a female
(Autocorrected the first word to have capital letter, male & female didn’t alter)

Backinthebox · 27/03/2019 14:35

I am as feminist as they come (honestly, I am here in Male in the aeroplane I overcame the patriarchy to fly here in a job still perceived as male,) but even I can see that Dick and Male can be proper nouns but female can’t. This one is not worth the outrage or a battle.

RepealTheGRA · 27/03/2019 14:39

Mine does it too, noticed ages ago, Male female.

WhatNow40 · 27/03/2019 14:40

She's female and he's male. Mine doesn't think either sex is important!

fedupntired · 27/03/2019 14:46

He is male she is female.
No caps here.
