Yes, fun idea. No problem with that but... that 'flag' is a sail. They're different things.

Using a sail to fly your colours is a red flag.
Sus. Having any issue with a red flag meme. /s

Remember, pirates did fly red flags as well as black ones. The red ones meant you were extra fucked.
If you saw a pirate ship with a rainbow flag though , you're in for a mean margarita and a good time.
I think they’re still after your booty.
I hope they don't run me through with their sword
I think black was like, "We just want your shit and we'll let you live if you surrender" while red was like, "We're gonna kill and then take your shit or take your shit and then kill you, either way you will not survive," kinda thing.
Sometimes the black one meant they just wanted your hats.

Not as bad as the ones that call women femoids.
is... Is that a thing?
It's an incel thing.
It's very prevalent on 4chan and the like if you want to look at it and be depressed for a bit

female as an adjective for clarification (like "oh you're looking for that female doctor over there") is ok, female as a noun is just weird
There are contexts where it makes sense, mostly medicine or science, but even in those contexts it's deliberately dehumanizing, which is the point. It is also the only English word for a female human that does not imply age, as woman and girl both do.
The quick sniff test: "Males and females"? Clinical, but probably fine. "Men and females"? Fucking Ferengi freak, avoid that guy
Unless you're speaking about (non human) animals. Saying a dog is a female is fine.
I knew it! Once I suggested this to someone assuming they're, like me, not a native speaker, and got downvoted to hell. Turned out I was too woke.

I been wondering people's opinion of "Female" in some instances. Like is "First Female president/athlete/mayor/lawyer" appropriate? "First woman____" doesn't sound right and you wouldn't say "first man athlete to run 2 hour marathon" you would use male.
Most things can be rephrased maybe, but obviously using Females outside these instances is very right wing cringe.
"Female" is fine to use as an adjective.
It's also fine to use as a noun when describing livestock, which is why it's a red flag to describe women that way.
What is a good word to use for people who are female of any age including young children that are not old enough to be called women in addition to women?
'Women and girls' is pretty clunky when talking about something that is gender specific, but applies to all ages.
Women is probably fine to use when the ages can be gleaned from context. You can also make the noun non gendered and use female as a adjective like “female students” or “female patients”

Just ask yourself if you'd use "males" in that context.
I absolutely would use males in that context. "Toxic masculinity has a detrimental affect on males of all ages" sounds perfectly fine to me because I don't know of a different label for the group and males doesn't have the same dehumanizing usage as females.

Okay here's my pirate joke.
A ship is sailing the high seas when the crows nest guy calls down, "Pirate ship ahoy!" The captain tells the cabin boy, "Fetch my reddest jacket!" The boy brings the reddest jacket he can find and the captain puts it on. They engage in battle and sink the pirate ship. The boy asks, "Cap'n, why did you call for your red jacket?" The captain says, "So that if I should be wounded in battle the crew would not notice the blood and lose their fighting spirit."
Next day the crows nest calls down, "Twenty pirate ships ahoy!" The captain tells the cabin boy, "Fetch by brownest pants!"
Well since we're telling pirate jokes...
A guy is at a party and sees a pirate coming towards him. He notices as the pirate approaches that the pirate has a little wheel sticking out of his pants.
Naturally curious, the guy asks the pirate, "why do you have a little wheel sticking out of your pants?"
"Arr," says the pirate. "I don't know, but it be drivin' me nuts!"

Someone should really tell everyone from the south. I had no idea until it was pointed out to me by someone younger. Changed my behavior of course, but was simply ignorant before.
A lot of people use certain words just out of habit, the last thing you need is some SJW jumping down your throat and calling you names cause they don't like your regional dialect. Lots of words I grew up with that were normal or not that bad, and now are considered super offensive. It's not a malicious thing, all you can do is calibrate and learn, but some people get so worked up if you don't use the words they're used to

Do they also pronounce "human" as "hugh mon?"
If so, that's a Ferenghi ship.

Or they are just non-native english speakers
Yeah, but those people don't get defensive when you comment on it, while those who are raising the red flag immediately do. It's pretty easy to tell them apart from that point forward.
What a sweetheart you are. Can't even let a webcomic get away with not being inclusive.

I wonder if the joke would work better if it actually was a black background. This might also keep the 'its a sail' gang happier.
With an attitude like that, something tells me that pirate won't be getting any booty
Lmao good one
