I would note that this is not necessarily true. When referring to sex rather than gender, it is common—and when used in the context “male or female,” etc. It’s not an evil word—some people just misuse it. It is similar to “it” which is not a bad word in any way, but if you call someone “it” they will likely be offended.

Use of the word female does not indicate misogyny. Deliberate objectification of women through such a consistent word choice is different.

This reminds me of INTERCAL.

That poor greasy carpet…

He’s doing the Lord’s work, I see.
