Asides from it being deeply dehumanizing and misogynist http://jezebel.com/the-problem-with-calling-women-females-1683808274

The problem is whenever someone refers to women as females, I picture them as ferenghi's. And then it's stuck in my head. Every single time that person says female, I associate them with ferenghi's and I can't take them seriously anymore.
