You seem to be having fun being nasty over something nobody said. I didn't say Female Only
solely meant porn.
Oh really?

...but that's such a hentai tag >_<
That is exactly where I took it from. It does it job well though. Also as if Dynasty wasn't full of hentai tags already ;x
Which works until you realize that most of the stuff tagged with it isn't porn at all. Yuru Yuri, New Game, and so forth.
Try harder next time.
Also I'm pretty sure insulting or being aggressive toward other users is against rules, so I expect you to edit your post.

As to usage, Chantelune's observation seems pretty accurate, and I'd go further to say it likely should be reserved for series with decent sized casts that are entirely female. Which would apply really well to New Game and Yuri Yuri, which are all-girl ensemble stories which make it very clear there aren't and won't be any boys involved.
On hentai sites, everything that has no males whatsoever is tagged with this kind of tag. If we are not going to use it for all series that has no male characters and only for those longer series with bigger female cast, the question should be if we need that tag at all or if at least it should be described (and named) better.
On topic of descriptions, one of reasons I agree the tag needed to be change, was because it wasn't clear on first glance. At least it has description (I'm pretty sure though it had none before, but maybe I remember wrong), but some tags, that tells you nothing if you didn't know what they mean before, doesn't. Like Ahegao
(which is such perfect hentai tag). Sure, you can go into description, but as I said, the main idea of tag is to make searching for stuff easier and more intuitive.
I don't mind joke/reference tags and I have to say parodying error 404 was clever, but one the end of the day this is what matter the most:

I do think that something along the lines of "Females Only" would be easier to understand, particularly for newcomers. I think that "404" is amusing, but isn't the point of a tag system to help what people are looking for as accessible as possible? Just sayin' s'all...
Also on note of old tag name:

I also think that the link between mentioning the Y chromosome and the 50% chance that if one's mother is a carrier of the autism gene that one will inherit autism, or the 100% chance that one will inherit the gene if their mother is autistic (providing that it is a simple sexually inherited trait at all, as I do not know for sure) is a bit of a long bow to draw.
I have no idea what chances of getting autism has to do with anything too. If you have 2 X chromosomes you are a girl. If you have 1 X and 1 Y, you are a boy. So if Y chromosome is missing, then by all means, you get only females character.

By the by, to the people dedicated to step on the landmine called females only, I wanna see you tell them to tag all stories that contain male-as-female cross-dressing
with Yuri
and/or Females only
And what it has to do with anything? If someone is cross-dressing in some story, by definition it has at least 1 male in it, and if you are trying to tag it with either of this tags you are just doing it wrong (unless it is Transgender, then it is a whole different story, and it isn't a cross-dressing) so I see no issue here.
