    Not the guy you’re replying to, but it seems you’ve missed the rather large part before the noun entry in that dictionary of your’s:

    female, adjective

    a (1) : of, relating to, or being the sex that typically has the capacity to bear young or produce eggs
    (2) botany : having or producing only pistils or pistillate flowers a female holly female inflorescences
    b: having a gender identity that is the opposite of male
    c: made up of usually adult members of the female sex : consisting of females
    the female workforce
    d: characteristic of girls, women, or the female sex : exhibiting femaleness
    composed for female voices
    e: designed for or typically used by girls or women
    f: engaged in or exercised by girls or women
    g: having a quality (such as small size or delicacy of sound) sometimes associated with the female sex

    It’s an adjective first and foremost.

    While it can be used as a noun, this is in a mostly academic sense. Outside of that it’s normally associated with incels and sexism.

    Get over yourself and stop trying to make it a thing when it’s not. If you want to be unique, there are plenty of other terms to call women that they be half as weirded out/offended by: lady, lass, bird, gal, and girl just to count a few.
