confounds the world
No it fucking doesn't. The rest of the world is not confused or shocked to see this.
Don't let American media convince you this was a fucking surprise.

To be fair, if you look at it from the perspective of a narcissist who has never been told "no" his entire life, it makes perfect sense.
Male's haven't been actively repressed as a result of their gender for thousands of years. Simply switching the genders does not work because they're not equitible terms. Systematically speaking, they come from different backgrounds and expectations.
I take your point that "female" as a durogatory term is relative to the context it's used in. But we can't pretend we've lived in a world of equal opportunity that treats men and women, males and females, equally in trying to make that point.
