If I'm talking about people with a focus on their gender, I tend to use "females".
If I'm referring to people that happen to be female I tend to use "women"

 I have never ever ever heard of male and female being “dehumanizing”. The word itself is fine, but if you look at how it is used in that image, it's not. |

Thinking back that I used to watch the show that's from when I was about six or seven might explain a lot about me.

 Because the rich never covets anything ever. Is there a Jesus facepalm image I can attach to this? |

I find it apt that the entire world is calling for a more-regulated capitalism.
