Men are male, women are female. These words are interchangeable, and whoever decided one should be somehow bad or derogatory is deranged. Claim the words for what they are. Use “male” and “female” in appropriate context.
Sorry mate, not how language works. Men is a noun, male is usually an adjective, they aren’t interchangeable. Depending on the context, it can be weird/wrong to call groups of people by an adjective (exp. illegals, poors, disableds). Hearing men call women “females” sounds weird af dude, you’re proving OP’s point.
Can we stop with this for once?

Why?
One can call a group of men “males”, and no one bats an eye. But once anyone uses “female” to refer to a woman, it’s a shitshow.
No one does that
What if it’s “the perp is a 5’4” female heading west"?
Can’t help but notice you’re complaining about the post but never did what the post is complaining about.
Not here in particular, but I have been called out several times for using the word “female” in an appropriate and normal context.
As a noun to refer to humans?
Even as an adjective in scientific context.
How often has that happened to you?
At least three times that I can recall
