In my native language it's highly offensive to call a woman a female. Didn't know that's the thing in English.
At the same time we call children "human larve" and everyone is ok with that
It really really rubs most of us the wrong way. Yet, for whatever reason, stupid men are taught that it is ok to call us "females". It is like we are corpses. Things. Not even people.
It's not so much that the word itself is offensive it's just that using it as a noun instead of an adjective to refer to a person carries with it connotations and implies you're referring to a person as if they're a subject or an animal or something below human.
Oh wow, thanks. Nope, I won't call women with that word anymore
"Bundle of excrement". Wow I like it
"Crotch drippings" is my favorite euphemism for children.
