Because they want to ick you out. They mean it exactly the way you hear it.

The only time I use female (I am a girl) is if I’m saying something like female vs male friends or some shit instead of being like yea my girlfriend and I are going out to do this! Or she’s my best girlfriend so that the context isn’t misinterpreted or if I’m in classes and have to use male and female otherwise I don’t use females either

The reason to use it would be if you mean women including young girls, not just women.

Absolutely, it feels like when women say they aren’t feminist because they’re “not into that man hating stuff”

Male and female as adjectives are totally cool in my experience. It’s when people use “female” as a noun instead of “woman” that people get ickes out
