This actually perfectly demonstrates the problem with calling women "females".

No, it demonstrates people's inability to formulate sentences properly. The 2nd person is asking clarifying questions to be sure they understand them properly..as one should.

The only thing wrong with saying female, is in your head.

How would you say female humans when referring to a group of female humans.

You would call them women. We literally have a word for female humans.

Female still works...I seriously don't get the negative reaction to it...at the end of the day, it doesn't matter. It's a non issue and there is much bigger things to be annoyed about.

Sure, if you don't mind sounding like a robot that was programmed to commit sex crimes.
