I'm more annoyed by the usage of "female" as a noun than offended by it, in the same way I'm annoyed by the usage of "less" when "fewer" is meant. It's just not the right word.

It never occurred to me that a woman would be offended by being called a female. It doesn't bother me in the least.

If a girl gets upset over you calling her a female, just say "sorry b**ch". Seems fitting to me...

Some women are just offended, no matter what you do. If you gave them a gold brick as a gift they'd complain it was too heavy. Ignore these people.

Girls might not worry about it. This woman however, is an English major and pedantic
