you will find they are using the term
in an aggressive way.
The men and women who like to use this term and are aggressive about using "females" as a way to call women bitches aren't going to change. But some people have picked up this aggressive way of using the word "females" just by virtue of who they hang around.
This is how word use changes, how word use is spread, by hearing and repeating. Language is alive and evolving so most of the time hearing and repeating and changing words so that things are more clear is a good thing.
But not in this case. "Females" is negative code that means "bitches" and is aimed at women same as "Make American Great Again" is code for "We don't want you here" aimed at people who are not white
Hopefully some people who see this video will start paying attention to the company they keep and realize,
"Yeah...most every time I've heard someone say 'females' in that exasperated, superior, or ugly tone, that same someone could have used the word 'bitches' just as easily."
SUGGESTIONS:
Choose your company carefully. Don't let the misogyny creep up on you.
Watch your mouth. Don't inadvertently perpetuate misogyny
