It seems like there’s a correlation between people that refer to women as “females” and people that don’t treat women well.

It’s almost like using a term typically reserved for livestock betrays that you see women as below you.

Nah, don’t lump farmers and such into this, please. Cows and bulls, hens and roosters, nannys and billys, sows and boars. There are also words for modified gender/castration similar to agender: steer, stoat, gelding, bellwether.

Depending on the situation it can be fun to ask, “A female what?” Try to get them to say human.
