Seriously asking, i seen “females” and “males” used everywhere including here, is it not ok? I was under impression that in English those are neutral words (unlike in Polish where its very insulting when used for humans).
The problem is that a lot of misogynists will use “females” to describe women and “men” to describe men. I don’t use reddit anymore but there was a subreddit about this very thing called r/MenAndFemales
Think about it in a similar vein to the word jew. You can tell exactly when someone is using it as a noun specifically to be offensive. There also are ways you wouldn’t normally use those words very often if you aren’t a bigot.
