Only a Female

"A woman who cannot make her mistakes charming, is only a female"

I came across this quote today and thought it would be good to share! It really hit home on how some things make being a female seem so wrong. This quote for example makes it seem so negative to be not be perfect and that all of those imperfections make one a female. If one cannot make their mistakes appear flawless, is claiming the submissive of only being a female. This quote raised one main question in my mind: What is the difference that this quote references between woman and female? This makes it seem as though being a woman and a female are almost two different things and that being a female is the submissive of the two.
