What would the female equivalent be? Ovarish? Ovarious?
Perhaps we need a browser extension that switches such adjectives randomly.
Ideally if the word is gendered, you switch from a gendered word to one that isn't. So instead of ballsy, risky, daring, stupid, silly, adventurous, There are an endless amount of alternatives that aren't gendered, switching to a 'female' version would actually be worse.
Oh I know, I was just having a laugh. It sometimes helps to see the absurdity of our language by flipping the genderism or what-have-you. Heck I try to avoid the term "mankind" because it isn't an accurate description of humanity.
