This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The context in OP where females was used inoffensively?
You haven't pinned down the problem with the context of the word: I don't think you can. All I think you have are opinions & assumptions unsupported by context.
Either the context or the word has a problem. If it's not the context, then it's the word, which means we're really arguing about treating females as a dirty, toxic word.
If it is the context, then you can identify that problem (in a way that clearly sets it apart from inoffensive uses of the noun female): it's puzzling no one has so far.
The context is a 4chan post about not understanding the behaviour of women. I'm not a woman, I don't find it offensive, but you can definitely make some educated guesses or conclusions about why it would give some women the ick.
Ps. Don't take it too seriously most people are taking the piss
