Only assholes* use "female" as a noun.

"Female" is primarily a scientific or biological term that refers to sex, not gender. When used as a noun for humans, it reduces women to their reproductive capabilities and strips away their individuality and humanity, making them seem less than fully human or equivalent to animals. For example, "female" can refer to any species, while "woman" specifically refers to human beings.

Here it's clearly being used in a derogatory, dismissive sense.

* and Ferengi



Only assholes put words and motives into other peoples mouths to strawman there arguments.

You are clearly the only one who is being derogatory and dismissive
