I only use the term 'females' in the context of ... some kind of discussion of medical or biological studies ... or to differentiate between a girlfriend and a platonic female friend...
But I am guilty of the whole open fridge and sigh thing.
However.
If I turned around and David Attenborough was physically present, narrating me... I think I would be overjoyed and just try to get him to watch a nature documentary with me.
Or even better, go outside and just continue to be amused at his narration of me, and see if I can't get him to a park or something and see if he switches over to narrating the ducks.
- I'm not a native speaker, but I think it's normal to request a "female nurse" but asking for a "woman nurse" sounds weird. But saying "I would like my nurse to be a woman" sounds normal again
- Use woman when you need a noun, use female when you need an adjective. It's that easy
  
  Or, only time, use it as a noun in a clinical/scientific sense when you literally are distinguishing "people who were born with ovaries", IE "Females have higher estrogen levels" or something like that, when you are literally talking about the physical sex, and not gender.
  
  idk I really don't think it takes that much thought, we don't need to be so sensitive to the nuance when it's so easy to just not use language maliciously
  
  It doesn't require much thought, these are implicit rules you already should intuitively know if you have been participating in western culture for a few years.
  You should be able to intuitively know that
  "You are acting like an asshole"
  Carries way different weight than
  "You are an asshole"
  Clarifiers are much "softer" than nouns, as they are subjective instead of objective
  You hopefully got some basic lessons on Facts vs Opinions in early grade school, it's the same concept.
