Can’t be only one who hates “petite” right ? Only see it used to describe (short|small titted) adult women . Specially wen used in NSFW contexts just … bad vibesz all around , don’t like its connotations

  • Unnecessarily gendered language describing physical traits anyone can have
  • Tying physical attributes to gender
  • Likens the (short|small titted) adult women to children , creating countless problems itself

Can we just get rid of it already ? Wy hasn’t it been dropped by now ?

CLARIFICATION : Only concerned with how it’s used in english

    The reason it’s only used for women is because French is a Romance (gendered) language and petite is the feminine singular form of the word petit. It’s not different than the Spanish pequeña VS pequeño. I don’t necesarily see a problem with it, but Spanish is my native language so I’m used to the concept
