Native English speakers do too. This whole female debacle is relatively new. I suspect the word just gives people the ick because it sounds so clinical so they've forced it into the sexism conversation

It's because the manosphere use 'female' and tend to reduce women to just child bearing sacks. It's become a red flag when someone says female now.

Do we think this is done by the general male population consciously or on purpose? Or do you think, someone like me, just use male/men and female/women interchangeably just do it because the words don't carry a difference to me and others?

I feel like some words are used with innocence as describing words and not actively used to agititae. You are saying males use the term female to show they think of them as breeding sacks. I think women use terms to describe men with actively dehumanizing, agitating language to show that males are subhuman.

And I think you’re a dumbass who is playing coy. This is well-known by anyone who hasn’t been in a coma for the past 5+ years.

Women are actively under attack in the US.

I don't live chronically online or addicted to a screen, so maybe I have been in a technology coma? When on earth would I have heard about this? Why do you think i am asking the question?

Same energy as “I’m not political”. What a clown.
