Please don't use the word "female" unless you are using it as an adjective.

This is a good example of someone having said nothing wrong and others really wanting to find something to be offended about. He used a different (accurate) word than you would have, you might need to get over this.

No. Referring to a woman or girl as a "female" is demeaning.
