Yeah, I remember feeling like it was weird, but both of those sound absolutely fine to me now.

I also would never balk at “female” as an adjective in those cases, nor assume the speaker was being misogynist.

Woman as an adjective is picking up in my circles and podcasts I listen to. Woman scientist, woman entrepreneur. It may have sounded weird initially, but I’ve gotten over it and I suspect it will develop over time to be completely normal.

I wouldn’t really compare it to the male/man counterpart, because men aren’t demeaned by being called “male” regularly.

I had the same initial reaction but I think the doctor is treating it as a rating and not a fraction. E.g. a 90% grade doctor would recommend it, but they’re a 20% doctor.
