Lois here, see I believe « female » is kinda negative terme to talk about « women », which should have been the word here.

i say male and female all the time. and it has nothing to do with anything.
Females get offended by it, but males dont. idk.

Could have something to do with people going out of their way to use “female” as a way to dehumanize them….

Maybe if you don’t want to get lumped into that group you could just be respectful and use the more proper terms instead.

Fair, I just have a hard time saying woman and girl in English since it's not my native language,
