It's not, the new thing to be mad about online is using female to describe a women, even if its in a normal non pejorative context.

For journalistic style, it should say woman, but acting like we’re suddenly non human bc we’re described by our gender is weird. I’m both female and a woman (I prefer to be called female myself but I understand I’m in the minority). I’m not suddenly an animal tho and it’s weird that’s how that’s interpreted.

It's creepy if it's like "All the females on the dating apps reject me", but like... this is a headline
