>referring to women as females

What does that mean?

"female" is more of a technical term used in scientific writing, mostly when discussing animals. By calling women "females", it sounds both weirdly clinical and a bit dehumanising, as if you think of women as animals (or a different species).

Kind of like saying "humans" instead of "people":

"Humans like to listen to music"

"People like to listen to music"
